Fractional Ownership Platforms Embrace SM-REIT Regulations

25 Apr 2024 CW Team

Under the SM-REIT framework, fractional ownership platforms will be subject to regulatory oversight by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), ensuring adherence to standards of governance, disclosure, and investor protection. By aligning with these regulations, platforms aim to foster trust among investors and promote the growth of fractional ownership as a viable investment option in the Indian real estate market.

Fractional ownership allows investors to acquire a stake in high-value commercial properties, such as office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial complexes, without the need for significant capital outlay. This model democratises access to real estate investment opportunities, enabling individuals to diversify their portfolios and potentially generate passive income through rental yields and capital appreciation.

The registration process under SM-REIT regulations involves fulfilling certain criteria, including compliance with financial reporting standards, disclosure requirements, and governance norms. By meeting these regulatory standards, fractional ownership platforms aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and investor protection within the sector.

The embrace of SM-REIT regulations by fractional ownership platforms reflects a broader trend towards regulatory compliance and institutionalisation within the Indian real estate market. This development is expected to catalyse growth in the fractional ownership segment, unlocking new avenues for investment and driving innovation in the commercial property landscape.
