“A reduced effective rate of GST of 5%/1% is goodnews for the real estate industry as the 12%/8% ratewas bit of a deterrent for buyers while buying under-construction properties,” said EY tax partner Abhis-hek Jain.

Intermediate tax on transfer of development rights(TDR), joint development agreement (JDA), lease(premium), floor space index (FSI) will be exemptfrom GST for such residential property on which GSTis payable.

The government said this will address the cash flowproblems faced by the industry.

“There are reports of slowdown in the sector andlow offtake of under-construction houses which ne-eds to be addressed,” the statement said.

It would also result in the cost of houses comingdown, the government said.

“Unutilised ITC (input tax credit), which used to be-come cost at the end of the project, gets removed andshould lead to better pricing. Tax structure and taxcompliance becomes simpler for builders,” it said inthe statement.

“Developers will need to increase the base price torecover the loss of input credit but would need to becautious given the surge in anti-profiteering investi-gations for restaurants, in similar circumstances,”said Pratik Jain, partner and leader, indirect tax,PwC.

GST Council Cuts RatesSharply to Make Roomfor Housing Growth

Our Bureau

New Delhi:The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Coun-cil approved a sharp reduction in the levy on homesunder construction and raised the threshold for affor-dable housing that will make more purchases eligiblefor concessional tax, offering substantial relief to bu-yers ahead of the elections.

Starting April 1, homes under construction will belevied 5% GST, against 12%. For affordable homes,GST will drop to 1% from 8%.

Homes up to Rs 45 lakh and with a carpet area of upto 60 sq metres in metros and 90 sq metres in non-met-ro cities will be counted in the affordable segment, ac-cording to the new twin definition cleared by the co-uncil, which is expected to give a big boost to lower-in-come housing. The earlier limit was a uniform carpetarea of up to 60 sq metres for a house in an approvedaffordable housing scheme. There will be no input taxcredit for GST paid on materials such as cement andsteel for the sector at these lower GST rates.

Low-margin RealmeFails to Click withOffline Retailers

[email protected]

Kolkata: Leading cellphone retail chains,including the largest one Reliance Retail,are thwarting the efforts of the fourth lar-gest and online-focused smartphone makerRealme to enter the brick-and-mortar tradeby refusing to sell their handsets due to lowtrade margins, two senior industry executi-ves said.

This is one of the first fallouts of the mar-gin war between big retail and the consumerelectronics industry in India, a phenomenontypically seen in the FMCG space, coming ata time when online-focused brands are try-ing to step into offline retail. Brands such asRealme have been selling through Flipkartand Amazon at lower margins due to lowercost of distribution, compared with offlinetrade.

The executives said even chains in the So-uth such as Sangeetha, Poorvika and Big Chave decided not to sell Realme due to lowmargins. Realme had entered into a pactwith Reliance for sale of their handsets thro-ugh 600-odd stores last November.

While an email sent to Reliance did not eli-cit any response till press-time on Sunday,Realme India CEO Madhav Seth confirmedthat the “collaboration with the Reliancegroup has been called off” with the brand ha-ving expanded its footprint across the count-ry. He said the company works on low mar-gins to “offer real price of the products” toconsumers.

Seth said it has been mutually agreed uponwith some of the South chains that collabo-ration with Realme is not possible since itcannot offer high margins.

The executives said Realme offers one ofthe lowest trade margins at 4%, against5-6% by Xiaomi and 5-11% by Samsung, de-pending on models and stores. However,one retailer said it is still profitable to sellXiaomi and Samsung due to higher salesand faster turnaround of stock. Seth saidthat as a policy, Realme does not believe inmaking profit at the cost of customer.

“Working on restricted margins, Realmetries to give maximum benefit to its custo-mers and partners by planning innovativeand impactful marketing campaigns whichin return drive footfall at stores…We lookforward to partner with only those retailerswho share the same ideology and approach.”

Realme, which started operations last May,is part of China’s BBK Electronics that alsoowns brands such as Vivo, Oppo and One-Plus. As per Counterpoint Research, Realmeentered the top five smartphone brands listin October-December in the Indian marketwith more than four million users.

Only 30% Indians Trust Their Partners on Money MattersShipra.Singh

@timesgroup.com

New Delhi: If trust is the founda-tion of a stable relationship, Indianmarriages could be on shaky gro-und. Only three out of 10 peoplecompletely trust their partners onmoney matters, according to a sur-vey conducted by ET Wealth lastmonth. The online survey received550 responses from married or be-trothed individuals across age gro-ups.

Nearly 26% of the respondents al-so said their partner was secretiveabout financial matters, which ledto arguments over money. But itwas still at fourth place among thebiggest reasons for financial dis-cord in households. Topping thelist were overspending or being toofrugal, followed by financial sup-port to relatives and friends.

Overspending is seen as a villain

because it’s visible in the pile of un-necessary stuff lying around thehouse. However, experts say this isnot a problem if you save and investfor your goals.

“If you meet your commitments,there is no problem. Spending isnot a crime,” said Priya Sunder, di-rector, PeakAlpha Investment Ser-vices.

Budgeting can ensure that highexpenses don’t derail investments.“Overspending will not affect hou-sehold savings if you invest at thevery beginning of the month,” saidRenu Maheshwari, CEO and prin-cipal adviser, Finscholarz WealthManagers. “It will reduce liquidityand prevent overspending.”

Moreover, by quarreling aboutoverspending, most people may bebarking up the wrong tree. Few de-bate the investment choices of the-ir partners, which could have a big-ger bearing on the family’s finan-ces than anything else. Less than

23% have arguments on that count.Not clashing over investments isnot an indication of implicit trustin each other’s investment choices.Rather, it indicates a bigger pro-blem — couples fail to comprehendthe long-term outcome of their in-vestments. The survey furthershows that arguments over wronginvestment choices take place mo-re in the 45-55-year age bracket thanamong younger respondents.

This is the time when people are li-quidating investments for goalssuch a child’s education or wed-ding. But by then, it is already toolate for course correction.

If these investments were debatedwhen they were in their 30s, it wo-uld have been possible to get backon track. Few young couples dis-cuss and debate investment choi-ces. Either they don’t realise theurgency of goals that are far intothe future or have poor financialknowledge.
