Since the home buying continues at its full pace even after an impending rate hike by Reserve Bank of India due to which there have been a continuous rise in property prices, the realty industry now is completely free from tensions, i.e, has shrugged off all its worries. Due to the still high food prices, many economists expect a fifth round of policy rate hikes towards the end of this month. Most probably, RBI will unveil its first-ever mid-quarter policy review on September 16.
However, the developers are still cool and confident for the residential sales even after a possibility of rate hikes by RBI are almost next week. The chairman of CREDAI, Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India, Mr. Kumar Gera say that since the buyers fear of price rise in future, therefore they will not stop investing right now. These days an investor does not see the price if he can afford it, he added. Therefore, this price hike won’t make much difference to the market.

CREDAI Report on Application of Service Tax
According to CREDAI, the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India, due to the application of service tax as per the union budget 2010, the property prices will experience an increase.
All of us are aware of the fact that this service tax has come into effect since July 1. For those who don’t, a quick recap says that an introduction of “deeming provision” took place in Union Budget 2010 which brought realty within the horizon of service tax.
According to the president of CREDAI, Mr Chitty Babu, there will be an increase of around 2.5% in property prices on account of the levy. Additional to this, in locations like Tamil Nadu where land registration and sale of building are done separately, a hiatus of 66.3% has been granted, thus, service tax will be applicable on the balance.
Finally, this whole tax would come just on the shoulders of buyers. This fact has even been admitted by some developers that they would charge extra from the buyers themselves to pay this tax.
