Real estate – After GST

Real estate companies in churn mode after GST & Rera

The real estate sector is slowly catching up after being affected by the goods and services tax (GST) and Real Estate Regulation And Development Act (Rera). It has, however, seen a lot of churning among senior management roles, especially in finance roles.

Real Estate After GST
At least half a dozen senior executives, including chief executive officers (CEOs) and chief finance officers (CFOs), have quit and joined rivals or started as independent professionals in the last couple of weeks.

After the GST and Rera, finance, compliance and legal roles have become very critical and are in great demand. Finance heads are also important today to make the right investment decisions.

Last month, Hari Prakash Pandey, senior vice-president (finance) and investor relations at Mumbai-based real estate company HDIL, quit and joined privately-held developer Runwal group in Mumbai as the CEO. Pushpamitra Das, group CFO at Bombay Dyeing, quit in the same month. Das now works as an independent advisor to real estate companies.

Real Estate and GST
Compulsory registration of projects

Rera, which came into effect on May 1, talks about compulsory registration of projects with respective state authorities, makes it mandatory for developers to put 70 per cent of proceeds from a project in an escrow account and prohibits pre-sales, which is a popular way of raising initial funds, for developers. In short, Rera has hit cash flows of developers significantly.

On the other hand, the GST, which came into effect on July 1, has hit the sales of premium apartments.

Real estate investment Trust

R Suresh, former managing director of head-hunting company Stanton Chase India, said property developers were facing a lot of liquidity issues and needed to do equity infusion, get debt or monetize assets.

 

REIT (real estate investment trust) has also become a big opportunity. Besides, Rera has strict compliance rules that are why they need to be experienced finance professionals.

Suresh said that many realtors have bought land, built assets and now want to unlock the value. “They need senior people to do that.

Many promoters want to run their business professionally after Rera. So, there is a lot of demand for professionals. But one should wait and choose the right offer.

It may endeavor to go off as two separate associations controlled by relatives, each worth Rs 45 lakh, just to pay cut down obligations under the GST.,” said an Eminent Tax Expert

“People will continue attempting to different on the system, as they do now. In any case, as upstream consistence upgrades, a number of such associations under-enumerating compensation will diminish. In the whole deal, such a move will be hindering for attempts whose solitary wellspring of force is expense shirking,” said Strategist @ Credit Suisse
