The headline grabber? A flat stamp duty of just ₹1,000 for buyers of senior living homes — down from the hefty 5-7% previously charged. This isn’t just a small relief; it’s a massive financial game-changer for senior citizens and their families, opening doors to dignified independent living.
But the policy doesn’t stop there. Developers get a huge boost with increased Floor Space Index (FSI), faster single-window clearances, and hefty cuts on development charges and GST. Plus, the freedom to add up to 15% commercial space inside these projects means on-site pharmacies, grocery stores, and cafes — catering directly to the daily needs of elderly residents.
Nagpur’s hot spots like Manish Nagar, Wardha Road, Besa, and Sitabuldi are already buzzing with over 40 registered retirement homes, but this policy is set to ignite a rapid expansion of professionally managed senior housing across the city. With Maharashtra’s senior population projected to hit 17% by 2036, ignoring this sector is no longer an option.
The policy forces urban planners and developers to take senior housing seriously — not as charity, but as a vital, booming real estate market demanding urgent attention. Nagpur’s senior citizens finally get the spotlight. The era of neglect ends here.
