Revert stamp duty, nala conversion rates and local body charges to previous levels: CREDAI, TREDA
Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI TS & AP) and Telangana Real Estate Developers’ Association (TREDA) jointly appealed to the government on Thursday to defer the revision of market values till a proper study is made into the recent increase in costs, changes in economy in general, affordability and the likely impact of the Union Budget.
In a statement to the media, the associations also requested the government to revert the stamp duty, nala conversion rates and local body charges to the previous levels. It was pointed out that the market rates were revised just seven months ago by 30-100%, stamp duty by 3.75%, and nala charges by 50-67%.
There are more than three lakh properties released recently from the prohibitory list and many are are yet to be released while lakhs of registration transactions are pending. The ongoing COVID pandemic wave too has put a halt to many activities as citizens are shying away from visiting public places especially registration offices.
