All construction companies are required to pay full stamp duty on behalf of home buyers till 31 December 2021, in order to avail these premium concessions.

According to the decision which is set to come into effect immediately, all new projects sanctioned before December 31 can avail the benefits from these concessions. The government has also extended the aid to ongoing projects for premiums between now and December.

This decision is said to lower construction costs significantly thereby lowering the cost of real estate for home buyers. It is expected to encourage the onset of more projects and promote home buying in the state.
