Q: It's really a good news for Mumbaikers because the salt pans, which till now fell under the No Development Zone.
My replies to this discussion
Hi Saurav, The biggest issue which will come out of this conclusion is what will take place in the changeover period till the new plan comes in. Due to uncertainness, developers will be unable to launch new projects. I hope that the new plan is executed at the earliest to avoid further negative impact on Mumbai's real estate and its infrastructure.Hi Saurav, The biggest issue which will come out of this conclusion is what will take place in the changeover period till the new plan comes in.

Q: Good news for property buyers! The Union Cabinet has approved the Real Estate Development and Regulation Bill along with certain key amendments.
My replies to this discussion
Right Vinay, Mumbai will be the market that will be the most affected as norm violations have been at a maximum in the city, with delays and customer issues being at an all-time high. I believe the key beneficiaries of this will be developers which have a consistent track record of executing projects on time, such as Prestige Estates, Godrej Properties, Sobha Developers and Oberoi Realty.

In Mumbai markets especially, each of the projects ties up with bankers and all the money that is received from the customers normally go to the banker's escrow account. And from there depending on the stage of construction and requirement of the project, the banker and the company decide as to how much to be kept for them to adjust towards the interest and principle and what is to be released for the project. And usually the bankers observe through their monitoring statements on a month-on-month basis.In Mumbai markets especially, each of the projects ties up with bankers and all the money that is received from the customers normally go to the banker's escrow account.

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.
My replies to this discussion
Yes, the happiness over State Bank of India's 40 bps (0.4%) reduction in interest rates is possible to get watered down significantly for home buyers. India's largest bank SBI told that the interest rate on new home loans will be only 20 bps lower which is less than 1/2 of the 50 bps reduction in standard rates by the RBI.Yes, the happiness over State Bank of India's 40 bps (0.4%) reduction in interest rates is possible to get watered down significantly for home buyers.

My comments to replies
Right Rakshit, Because the bank has revised the expansion at which it will advance home loans for borrowers to 20 bps above its standard base rate as against offering loans at base rate earlier. Bank had taken a decision to revise the expansion to protect its margins since the rate cut has been front-loaded without an equivalent reduction in the cost of funds.
Yes, only old borrowers stand to gain more than new customers. A woman borrower who had taken a loan in the 1st week of October would get home loans at the base rate that is 9.7%. Following the revision in the base rate, the borrower would see her loan rate coming down to 9.3% (base rate) in the next quarter.

SBI chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya had earlier suggested that the bank be allowed to come out with a teaser loan-type scheme to incentivize new borrowers. However, the RBI has not been very favorable to the proposal.

Hi, For the 3rd consecutive time in the year 2015, Goregaon East once again lead the first position based on availability. Accessibility to the Western Expressway and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) are two major reasons catalyzing rental demand here. Others are Chembur, Andheri East, Powaia and Kharghar.Hi, For the 3rd consecutive time in the year 2015, Goregaon East once again lead the first position based on availability.

Q: The Maharashtra government on October 7 assured the builders in the state of speedy approvals and faster clearances.
My replies to this discussion
Hi all, It is certainly a well-known fact that real estate is one of the major contributors to the country's GDP, and this sector cannot perform well in a scenario where a misleading crowd of agencies are involved in processing approvals for real estate projects.

Q: Due to the slowdown in realty market, project delay is very common these days. Completing a project on time is a big achievement.

My replies to this discussion
Right Santosh, Project delay has huge financial loss for the buyer both in terms of home loan interest outflow and opportunity loss. Opportunity loss is potential rent received for a property. On an average, a project delay may cost you Rs 25000/month. At the time of purchase, builder assures the buyer on timely completion by incorporating penalty clauses w.r.t project delay in the agreement. But they always failed to do so.Right Santosh, Project delay has huge financial loss for the buyer both in terms of home loan interest outflow and opportunity loss.

@S. Mahendra, While over 2300 projects in the realty sector remained non-starters, over 1000 ongoing projects have registered significant delays in completion. With 964 projects, domestic private sector accounted for 95% share in projects facing delays, followed by public sector 49-projects and foreign private companies 6-projects.
