Q: Hello

Case: I wish to invest in commercial property(shop/office) by forming my own company(investment holding co). Income will be purely rental income.
This is purely for tax reasons as I am an NRI.
My question is:
1. Will banks give property loans to such company?
2. Out of various classes of companies, which class will I need to form?

As clarification, my capital will be sufficient only for 1 shop ~400sqft in Pune.

Latest Answer: Yes, a non-resident Indian can buy either a residential property or a commercial property in India but he cannot buy agricultural land, plantation land or a farm house in India. He cannot even acquire such property as a gift. The RBI has given a general permission to banks and housing finance companies registered with the National Housing Bank to provide loans to NRIs for buying residential and commercial property in India.

Q: The RBI kept its policy rate on hold at 6.75%, hoping to wait until after the government's annual budget statement at the end of February.

Latest Answer: Hi Ashish, Now we are expecting that the government would take thoughtful steps closer to the budget and provide further rate cuts to guide economic growth. The residential real estate has been the worst affected due to high interest rate and slow sales for the past couple of years. Current unsold residential inventory levels across India stands at over 6.9 lakh units and this would take more than 2.5 yrs to round off.

Q: This move would ensure lower lending rates for new home loan borrowers and companies with working capital loans.

Latest Answer: Yes indeed you need to have an insurance when you buy a property. But it need not be a home insurance always. You can have a term insurance instead which will have a high cover with less premium. By doing this you will cover the home loan as well as your loan amount will be covered.

Q: SBI may have cut its base lending rate by 40 bps to 9.3% following RBI's latest policy rate cut, but the actual reduction in housing loan rate will be a maximum of only 20 bps.

In this loan category, the borrower is not charged any interest for any surplus that the borrower charge in a current account linked to the loan.

Q: This decision of the RBI to reduce repo rate will significantly provide policy support to the real economy and help in the recovery process.
Latest Answer: It is really a good move by the RBI. SBI slashed its lending rate by 0.40% within a couple of hours of rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India. The largest private sector lender ICICI Bank also hinted at cutting its base rate by at least 0.25%. It clearly shows that interest rates will come down, base rates will come down. A large part of the cut will get transmitted.

Q: Could RBI's rate cut revive the home sales?
Latest Answer: @Abhi, Manoj Gaur, MD, Gaursons India Ltd told that with this move, stakeholders are now expecting the sales to improve as more potential customers will think of buying homes as the interest rates will be reduced.

Q: Right after the RBI's decision to keep the repo rates unaffected, 3 ace Indian Banks, which include the State Bank of India, ICICI and HDFC, leaders in the private sector, have cut their base lending rates.
Latest Answer: Earlier, this year, there is a significantly rate cuts (twice) by the bank effect the realty market as sales in Pune have settled down over the last 3 qtrs, and the most strength being seen mainly in the budget homes segment. This clearly indicates that the market is manipulated towards budget homes, and reduction in interest rates is a critical factor in affordability. I expect to have sales momentum to start lifting clearly, and also believe that more rate cuts will follow on the heels of the stronger economic signals being felt in the country.
