“As we enter 2025, real estate stands poised for crucial new reforms to drive its growth. A key priority is adjusting the affordable housing price cap beyond the current Rs. 45 lakhs to align with rising development costs in metropolitan areas. Another significant expectation is to increase the tax deduction limit on home loan interest from Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs. 4 lakhs, providing tangible relief to aspiring homeowners. Reduced GST rates will further enhance market vibrancy, creating a more accessible pricing structure. Finally, introducing tax incentives under Section 80C for investments in REITs can promote real estate as an attractive tax-saving avenue, drawing new investors to the sector. These measures have the potential to catalyse substantial demand, ensuring a stronger, more sustainable real estate market in the years ahead.”
