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.

TMR Group believes that every NRI is still as much Indian as the rest of us. Therefore, all our projects offer the best deals on home loans for NRIs. They have excelled in their field and are making India proud overseas. It is our humble way to say – thank you and offer them NA plots in Hyderabad with the best returns.

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.

All you need to know about plots

All you need to know about plots

admin Leave a comment

When it comes to buying a plot in India, the formalities and the rules and regulations are aplenty. India is a land (quite literally) predominantly of farmers and businessmen or farmers-turned-businessmen, and rarely the vice-versa is true. Therefore, the need to grow from a regular agricultural land is quite normal. In this blog, we would speak in detail about different kinds of plots and how they fare in today’s market.

Agricultural Plots

Also known as farm plots or open land, these land parcels are used exclusively for agricultural activities. Agriculture, being the major contributor to the Indian economy, the amount of agricultural land available in our country is humungous. Keeping the controversies aside, the recent farmer’s protests might have also brushed up our knowledge in this particular area.

There are certain dos and don’ts when it comes to buying or selling agricultural lands. You are prohibited to develop residential or commercial projects in that plot. You are not allowed to sell it to anyone who is not a farmer. If you intend to sell it to someone who isn’t a farmer, you must put your land up for N.A. (Non-Agricultural) conversion and then once the conversion is done you may sell it to anyone. This brings us to the next kind of plot.

NA Plots

Just as the previous sentence said, NA refers to Non-Agricultural land and these plots can be used for residential or commercial purposes. By default, every land in India is defined as “Agricultural Land” unless until it is defined by some other purpose. In case the land is defined as NA, it’s not just for residential purposes. It can be classified further into these categories –

NA – Commercial

NA – Warehouses

NA – Resort

NA – IT

NA – Residential

Caveat emptor: Many real estate builders use deceptive terms such as “Proposed NA” to lure buyers into a honey trap. There are quite a number of cases where the land has taken more than 10 years to get the NA status.  Let’s dive deep into the NA – Residential plots as there are many other categories where the land can be divided.

Residential Plots: These plots are unique for those who wish to build an independent home as per their taste.

Apartments: The real estate builders who wish to construct a cluster of the housing complex usually in high-rise or low-rise buildings can choose this category.

Villas/Row Houses/Bungalows: These residential plots come under the premium category as they are spacious and luxurious projects available at a higher rate than the usual because of space, location, etc.

Builder Floor: This allows a person to own an entire floor for independent living. These kind of spaces cost a bit higher than apartment floors and a bit cheaper than the bungalow plots.

With a legacy of more than 15 years in plotting, TMR Group has become a renowned brand in and around the region of Hyderabad. The brand offers clear title agricultural and NA plots for everyone in the country and even overseas to invest, make a living and progress with prosperity. The gated community projects ensure that your plots are safe and secure and you do not have to worry about their maintenance for at least a decade. That’s the TMR promise.

Shaping the future & the landscape of Hyderabad

admin Leave a comment

Hyderabad as a city is progressing with numerous residential and commercial projects mushrooming in the vicinity. While the rest of India is seeing a QoQ growth of 84% in the sale of residential sector, Hyderabad is the leader on the board in new launches with a staggering rise of 480% QoQ. We can very well say that Hyderabad is shaping up its future along with the landscape of the historic city. Here are a few of the major developments happening in and around Hyderabad.

Construction of Musi River Expressway

In order to restore and give a face-lift to Musi, the Musi Riverfront Development Corporation Ltd (MRDCL) is setting up rain gardens, removing shrubs to reduce the mosquito menace, and clearing silt from the riverbed for a free flow of water from Bapughat to Nagole Bridge. The beautification of 40 lakes in GHMC and HMDA limits were carried out at a cost of `541 crore in Phase I. In the later stages, the project is bound to cover 185 lakes.

Extension of the Metro Rail

The Hyderabad Metro Corridor II, connecting Hyderabad and Secunderabad encompasses a total of 9 junctions, spanning across 11 kilometers. This corridor from Jubilee Bus Station to Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station will cut down on the travel time to about 16 minutes as compared to road travel that takes 45 minutes for daily commuters to cover. It will also stand as a crucial junction linking the existing Metro I (Miyapur-Ameerpet of 13 km) & Metro III (Ameerpet-Nagole of 17 km) corridors.

The Hyderabad Metro Rail which is the world’s largest Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in the arena of metro rail, is a landmark project in India that currently witnesses about 4,00,000 daily commuters on an average.

Construction of subways and underpasses

Hyderabad is on the cusp of major transformation as the city gears up to build subways and underpasses in major locations to decongest city traffic. 52 major junctions in the city were identified to develop as signal-free junctions. The said works worth over `3,000 crore were being taken up in the limits of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation under the Strategic Road Development Plan. 

Also, the Government of Telangana has undertaken the Radial Ring Road (RRR) project with an aim to provide better connectivity and plans to extend the existing Ring Roads (Inner/Outer) to 4/6 lanes. 

The proposed 159 km long Outer Ring Road project is said to decongest the traffic snarls around the cities and cover towns such as Patancheru – Shamshabad – Hayathnagar – Medchal – Patancheru. The ORR will also link other National Highways, State Highways, Major District Roads (MDR) and other roads. The Government of Telangana has initiated a new department called Hyderabad Growth Corridor Ltd. (HGCL) to execute and supervise this project.

At TMR Group, we look forward to such developments as it boosts the real estate business in Hyderabad. With our clear title NA plots situated in most of the strategic locations around these developments, the investors and buyers are certainly in for an enormously progressive journey ahead.
