To generate more growth and address the housing needs of the growing population, particularly in the low and mid-income segments, the budget must include interest subsidies and housing loans, enhanced credit-linked subsidy scheme, and single-window clearance for affordable housing projects.
Tax breaks are also critical in making homeownership more accessible. Raising the tax deduction limit under Section 24(b) of the IT Act, reducing stamp duty, and providing incentives for first-time buyers can go a long way in encouraging people to invest in real estate.
Apart from direct financial boosters, the budget can introduce policy initiatives that will indirectly improve sentiment in the housing sector. Fast-tracking infrastructure development, simplifying the land acquisition process, and providing better finance access to developers are some of the key areas that require attention.
The Union Budget 2023 is an ideal platform for the government to give teeth to its Housing for All scheme. While the original 2022 deadline was not met, it is not too late to revive this dream and make it a concrete reality.
