Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has announced several key measures including a reduction in stamp duty and registration fees, simplification of project approval processes, a mechanism to address delayed projects, and incentives for affordable housing developments.
The reduction in stamp duty and registration fees will make property transactions more affordable for homebuyers, especially first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade their homes, thereby stimulating demand in the real estate market.
The new mechanism will provide a framework for resolving financial and administrative issues that cause delays in real estate projects, ensuring that projects are completed on time and delivered to buyers as promised.
Developers who commit to building homes for the lower and middle-income groups will receive financial support and other benefits from the state government, encouraging the development of affordable housing options.
The dedicated task force, comprising officials from various government departments, will monitor the progress of the initiatives, address any challenges, and ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation process.
