The Collector's guidelines, which are meant to serve as a reference for property transactions, were last revised to reflect the current market conditions. However, CREDAI’s data suggests that the actual market rates are much higher, making the guidelines seem outdated and less relevant.
Baba Siddique, a spokesperson for CREDAI, remarked, “The gap between the market rates and the Collector’s guidelines is widening, and this is leading to several issues. Buyers are often paying much more than what is reflected in official documents, which can lead to legal and financial complications.”
The property market in Bhopal has been on an upward trend, driven by factors such as urbanization, economic growth, and improved infrastructure. This has led to an increase in demand for residential and commercial properties. However, the revised Collector's guidelines have not kept pace with these changes.
CREDAI has urged the local authorities to conduct a thorough review of the guidelines to ensure they accurately reflect the current market conditions. They argue that this would not only help in maintaining transparency but also in fostering a fair and healthy property market.
Baba Siddique added, “It’s essential that the Collector’s guidelines are updated regularly to keep up with the dynamic nature of the property market. This will help in reducing the discrepancies and ensuring that both buyers and sellers are on the same page.”
The discrepancy between market rates and official guidelines can also affect the valuation of properties for tax purposes, leading to potential disputes between property owners and the tax authorities. Additionally, it can impact the ability of buyers to secure loans and insurance, as financial institutions often rely on the Collector’s guidelines for valuation.
Despite these challenges, the property market in Bhopal remains robust, with developers continuing to invest in new projects. However, there is a growing consensus that the current guidelines need to be revised to align with the actual market conditions.
CREDAI has also suggested that the local authorities should involve stakeholders, including developers, real estate agents, and property owners, in the process of revising the guidelines. This collaborative approach could help in creating more accurate and fair guidelines that benefit all parties involved.
