§  Income  tax  exemp9on  hiked  by  Rs  50,000  to  2.5  lakh.  

 

Posiview  Insight  :    These  tax  deduc>ons  would  mean  that  a  person  can  get  an  addi>onal  deduc>on  of  Rs  1.50  lakhs  in  his  taxable  income  which  means  a  saving  of  Rs  45,000  pa  or  Rs  3750  pm  in  monthly  outgo  at  the  highest  slab  rate.  This  can  increase  the  housing  budget  by  Rs.  4  Lakhs  which  is  a  25-­‐33%  increase  for  the  affordable  segment    houses    in  the  range  of  Rs  20-­‐25  Lakhs.

Posiview  Insight:  The  tax  benefits  combined  with  the  opening  of  the  sector  completely  for  Foreign  Direct  Investment  should  see  significant  ac>vity  in  this  space  in  the  coming  year  especially  in  view  of  the  shortage  of  almost  1.8  cr  houses  as  per  the  Economic  Survey.
