The report states that the total number of property registrations in Mumbai fell to 5,811 in September, down from 6,738 in the same month last year. This decline is a significant setback for the city's real estate market, which has been struggling to recover from the impact of the pandemic.
The slowdown in property registrations is also reflected in the revenue generated by the state government from stamp duty and registration charges. The revenue collection declined by 12% to Rs 647 crore in September, compared to Rs 737 crore in the same month last year.
Experts attribute the decline to the ongoing pandemic, which has led to a decrease in consumer sentiment and a reduction in purchasing power. The economic uncertainty has also led to a decrease in demand for properties, resulting in a decline in registrations.
However, some experts believe that the decline in property registrations may be a temporary phenomenon and that the market may recover in the coming months. They point out that the government has taken several measures to boost the real estate sector, including the reduction of stamp duty and the introduction of new policies to encourage affordable housing.
