The political stability is reviving sentiments among buyers and corporate & indicating towards the immense opportunities offered by the Indian market. To maintain the positive sentiment & to make it an interesting proposition for buyers, investors and developers; government must take necessary and long pending steps to give the required boost to sector to start the momentum towards growth and its consequent multiplier effect on economy.

Some of the important expectations of the industry from the government are as under:

1. Increase in limit on interest deduction under section 24 from Rs.150000=00 to Rs.300000=00 to account for the increased rate of interest and inflation.

2. Grant subsidy on interest on loans upto 25 lacs with maximum value of unit being 40 lacs.

3. Single Window Clearance system with immediate implementation of master clearance for height from AAI.

4. Ceiling on applicability of Environmental clearance to increase from current limit.

6. Take on steps to reduce interest rates to moderate levels of 8-9%

7. Infrastructure status for affordable housing projects, key benefits of which will include ability of insurance companies and other long term loans providers to lend to affordable housing projects and also make investment in the sector.

8. Government to allocate more funds from Skill Development Fund for construction workers and allied skills. Skills deficit is a big challenge for the industry today.
