Home Loans for NRI’s

admin Leave a comment

Real estate developers have always considered NRI’s as an important part of their target audience and the NRI crowd also prefers investing in India because when a comparison is made with the foreign real-estate, India offers much better properties at a much reasonable price making it an ideal choice for NRI’s.

NRI’s Investment Market in India

NRI’s have always played a crucial role in the Indian real estate market. The main reason for their investment is generally either sentimental value to their origin or as a backup plan just in case they ever plan on moving back to India. Generally, they just buy and put up properties for rents assuring a steady sum of the amount coming to them with definite safety and increment in their investment. The currency advantage due to the depreciating rupee plays into their favor, raising their purchasing power. To smoothen the pot, NRI’s can also apply for home loans and they get similar tax benefits like the Residential Indians with respect to repayment and interest rate if they meet a few criteria. Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999, defines an NRI as someone who resides outside India for, “employment, carrying on business or vocation in circumstances as would indicate an intention to stay outside India for an indefinite period”. It also says that an individual will also be considered NRI if his/her stay in India has been less than 182 days during the preceding financial year and anyone meeting these criteria can apply for home loans in India. 

Benefits for NRI’s Investing in India

NRIs can be benefitted from the tax deductions only if they have an income that is taxable in India. If they have taxable income in India, they are eligible to claim deductions on the repayment of interest and the principal amount from the taxable income as per Section 24, 80C and 80EE of the Income Tax Act.

Here’s a list of all the benefits NRI’s can get while investing in real-estate in India if they are defined under FEMA:

  1. An NRI home loan can be availed to meet all of the property-related requirements, including purchasing a house, constructing a house and renovating an existing property in the country.
  2. The difference between the value of foreign currencies like dollar or euro in comparison to rupee give a great advantage and raises purchasing power.
  3. The application process is hassle-free and barely takes up any time.
  4. With most banks, a candidate can apply for an NRI home loan online. The process is easy and transparent. The tracking of the application is also very easy, from anywhere in the world.
  5. Almost all banks provide a prepayment facility for either none or very little extra fees.
  6. There is no restriction on the number of properties NRI’s can purchase in India. However, agricultural land, plantation land, or a farmhouse cannot be purchased, only residential and commercial properties.

Home Loan Interest Rates for NRI’s

Most banks offer NRI home loans that have attractive interest rates on a monthly reducing basis. The candidates also have the option to choose between fixed or a floating interest rate but the candidates must be under the following regulations:

  • Age: 18-70 years
  • Nationality: Indian, Non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) are all eligible. Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) are also eligible except citizens of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
  • Work Experience: At least two years of experience in the company he/she currently works for
  • Loan Amount: The amount depends on an individual borrower’s profile and differs from person to person
  • Loan Tenure: Most banks allow a loan tenure of up to 30 years
  • Prepayment Charges: The prepayment charges for most lenders are 0%-2%
  • Late Payment Charges:For most lenders, late payment charges are 1%-3%
  • Other Prerequisites: NRIs require an Indian resident to be a co-applicant, co-borrower or co-owner of the respective house or property
  • Interest Rates: Interest rates vary for different banks, like SBI and HDFC offer 6.70%-7.00%pa, ICICI offers 6.70%-7.95%pa, LIC Housing Finance offers 6.90%-7.30%. The overall range of the interest rates is 6.70%-8.90% in 2021.

Senior Citizens’ Plot Buying Woes

Senior Citizens’ Plot Buying Woes

admin Leave a comment

Senior citizens are always caught in the eye of the storm for various reasons. Firstly, it is their deteriorating health that takes a toll on their peaceful living. Secondly, the volatile government rules and regulations and tax reforms which are sometimes unfathomable by the senior citizens. All these challenges create an impediment for the senior citizens when they consider buying a property at that age. This blog will explain all the scenarios and situations that cause these problems to senior citizens.

The Pandemic Aftermath

The senior citizens were already going through so many issues when suddenly COVID-19 made a horrid entry into their lives as a nightmare. Senior citizens, who make up for approximately 10% of our population, are concerned due to the persistent warnings that the virus tends to be more hostile among the elderly. Not to cause any alarms, 51% of deaths in India in the range of 60 years and above. However, the potential virus was never their primary concern in the first place. Some senior citizens were secluded, some were instructed to constrain from moving from one place to another, and some faced financial crises. For senior citizens to tackle these issues, here’s a list that needs to be checked out.

Elevators

When you age, there are some lifestyle diseases or age-related diseases that tag along as complimentary ailments. That’s the reason why senior citizens should consider buying a property that has elevator services.

24×7 Security

This is a major requirement when it comes to senior citizens. The reason being senior citizens are prone to forgetfulness. And when they are living in a society without security, their safety is prominently compromised. That’s why it is imperative for senior citizens to live in a building that’s guarded 24×7.

Transport

Senior citizens are those who mirror the characteristics of children or babies for that matter. They do not like to live like they are on house arrest. That’s the reason why easy transport facilities to the places of their likings, such as temples, convenient stores, hospitals, and so on, is very important.

Parks & Recreation Facilities

Senior citizens are generally fond of spending their spare time in peace. That’s the reason why gardens and parks play a significant role. Be it for a leisurely stroll, a serene walk down the serpentine walking tracks, or be it for green lawns, these simple, yet essential amenities power their pastime.

Affordability

Senior citizens, by the time they are retired, would have made a considerable amount of savings as security. If they were to invest that amount, it would be in something that would fetch them returns and secure their old age. Buying an expensive home at that age would definitely not be a thing on top of their mind.

At TMR Group, we make sure that all our projects are senior-citizen-friendly. They do not have to bother about living away from home or living disconnected from their loved ones or living an expensive, unhealthy life. All our projects are equipped with world-class amenities, 24×7 security and has hassle-free documentation processes so that their investment and their lifestyle are secured and they can live a carefree and peaceful life.

All about the new RRR: Regional Ring Road

admin Leave a comment

Unlike the period action drama that the maker of Baahubali is making, RRR is nothing similar to what we are about to discuss. This RRR stands for Regional Ring Road – the nod for which has already been given by the Central government for Hyderabad. Let’s talk about this particular RRR in detail, shall we?

THE ORIGIN

For the last several years, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MPs have been representing the central government and seeking permission for Regional Ring Road (RRR). The central government had already approved in principle, for the RRR project way back in 2018, but later failed to make any further announcements on the project.

In the initial phase of the project, the union government had issued a gazette notification to commence work for 166 kilometres of the Regional Ring Road in 2017. The stretch connected Sangareddy, Toorpan and Choutuppal.

The financial viability of the project came into question by the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry in 2019. That’s when a fresh Detailed Project Report (DPR) was called for and the Telangana government duly complied. When the report was submitted, the second phase of the project was lost in oblivion.

It was only when yet another fresh representation by the TRS delegation was made recently and the Union Minister informed the delegation that the second phase of the RRR project connecting Choutuppal, Shadnagar and Kandi has been approved.

ALL ABOUT RRR – REGIONAL RING ROAD

The overall length of the 6-lane RRR project would be 338 km while the width would be 500 feet. The state government has agreed to share at least 50% cost towards land acquisition to execute the project that’s estimated to cost about INR 13,000-crore. The land acquisition for RRR has been completed by the state government and the project is awaiting clearance from the forest department to invite tenders. The RRR is said to come up beyond the existing Outer Ring Road (ORR) and is expected to play a significant role in the economic development of Telangana.

The Regional Ring Road would be connecting Sangareddy, Narsapur, Toorpan, Gajwel, Choutuppal, Bhongir, Jagdevpur, Ibrahimpatnam, Chevella, and Shankarpalli.

TELANGANA PLANS FOR RRR

In order to boost the economic advancement of the state, the Telangana government plans to develop 50 acres within the 30 to 40-kilometre wide strip between ORR and RRR into satellite townships. The state hopes that the RRR will help uplift the infrastructure investments, employment opportunities between the circular roads and reduce congestion in Hyderabad.

It is also said that the Union Minister has given his approval for expansion of the 31.8-km Kodad-Khammam National Highway to 4 lanes under the Bharatmala Pariyojana programme. The Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Mr. Nitin Gadkari has also confidently responded to the demands for the completion of several highway projects as promised under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.

At TMR Group, we believe that these kinds of developments not only help the state to prosper and grow economically, but they offer numerous opportunities for businesses to mutually progress along with the state as well. While we, at TMR Group, have constantly been contributing to the cause, we feel that the Regional Ring Road, just like the title and the maker of the movie suggests, would be a huge blockbuster.

Why own a plot in a gated community

Why own a plot in a gated community?

Owning a plot is a big decision to make because we put a major chunk of our investment into it. Everyone who buys a plot definitely looks out for higher returns on any given day. Putting all these aspects under the microscope of an Indian family, the decision gets even bigger and meticulous because there are too many people in a family who influence this single decision. If it is a joint family, the process is further multiplied. Nevertheless, when the entire family decides to own a plot in a gated community as against buying an individual plot, here’s what a gated community can offer you.

HASSLE-FREE DOCUMENTATION

When you own a plot in a gated community, the best part of the whole buying process is that your documentation process is hassle-free. There are real estate consultants who help you out with all the legal terms and intricacies of the process and inform you about all the required documents. With the digitization of most of the document requirements, the process is furthermore made effortless.

YOUR INVESTMENT IS SAFE & SECURE

When you own a plot that is not in a gated community, which is individually lying somewhere on the outskirts of the city or hidden somewhere in the city, there’s comparatively a risk of encroachment. That’s yet another reason why most people opt for gated community plots. When the plot has 24×7 security systems in place, there is no risk or worry of your plot being encroached or manhandled. With the advancement of technology, there are CCTV cameras installed these days for round-the-clock surveillance.

YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE COMMUNITY LIVING

Owning a plot in a gated community has its own advantages which we are clearly stating here. Another reason why this would be a wise decision is that you and your loved ones would get to experience an integrated lifestyle. With many like-minded people owning a plot in the same township as yours, the overall experience of living close to people you like and places you love gives you a different kind of positive vibe altogether.

TRUST OF THE BRAND

There are many factors why you would choose a particular brand to own a plot in a gated community. First and foremost is trust. As mentioned earlier; with an investment of such a huge amount, you would definitely look out for someone who is trustworthy, reliable and committed to helping you. When a brand, with extensive experience in the real estate and plotting market, makes a promise that fulfills all your needs, you would certainly choose the brand and not any untitled broker. When the brand offers you clear title NA plots, you have entrusted your faith in the right place.

At TMR Group, we ensure that every customer who owns a plot in our gated community projects, gets to experience all that we have to offer. Be it for our value for money deals, or transparency in every transaction we make, TMR Group presents you with a plethora of gated community plots spread across prominent destinations at Hyderabad.

Dynamics of land appreciation

Owning a wealth asset is good, but owning a real estate asset is great. Out of various investment options, real estate investment is considered to be the most reliable form of investment. An essential point for this consideration is the security it offers. Over time, land value is set to gain a rise helping you possess an asset that promises returns like no other. In this blog, we are going to have a look at what factors affect land appreciation and such.

Land – The asset of worth

Every year, property rates surge higher owing to high demand and other essential factors. The ever-increasing population in India sets the need for space in terms of residential and commercial, all across the nation. The rise in property rates depends on various factors that influence the upsurge.

 The location of land plays the most vital role in influencing prices. Any property located at a prime destination holds more value and offers more returns as compared to other properties. Property closer to the city makes the land costlier.

Social Infrastructure near any property increases the value of the land. Places like educational institutions, hospitals, sports, and recreation are considered under social infrastructures that add value to everyday lifestyle. And hence, the presence of such things near a land helps gain more value.

Malls, shopping centers, multiplexes, and other entertainment zones also influence property rates. Such factors add more to lifestyle and hence it affects land appreciation. Reselling of such assets also attract heavy returns.

The presence of transportation services like – metro, bus stations, well-constructed roads highly affects the land rates. Everyday commute demands essentials for going to and fro and hence these aspects influence real estate rates. 

Green cover or water bodies like lakes or rivers also influence the property rates. Such natural bodies offer healthful experiences and hence such lands hold significant value. Such properties are usually sued for weekend getaways, farmhouses, or other such factors.

When the government announces construction of new roadways, airports, ports, or other such amenities, people wish to stay closer to such projects which add value to everyday living and hence demand land near such proposed projects go high.

When one plans to buy land as an investment, picking the right property to invest in is the key to getting better returns. Considering these aspects before buying a piece of land would help in making a better deal to buy a home or for wealth growth.
