FAQ :

CREDAI is requesting a fixed 15% income tax rate for affordable housing projects and a revision of the current affordable housing price definition.

The current price cap of Rs 45 lakh for affordable housing has not been updated since 2017, despite significant increases in real estate prices, making it difficult for developers to build and buyers to afford.

CREDAI suggests increasing tax deductions for individuals on both the principal and interest components of home loans.

The share of affordable housing in new property supply has been declining, which CREDAI highlights as a growing concern affecting overall sales.

The real estate sector is a significant contributor to India's GDP, directly and indirectly influencing 53% of it, and provides employment to over 8 crore people.
