Since 2016, we were recommending to cut down the circle rate. This is 2nd time administration reduced the circle rate in the form of a surcharge. If all goes well as proposed then commercial property to get relief of 1/4th. Last year administration had reduced surcharge 4 per cent in housing segment and this year 6 per cent has been proposed to sweep away. So in 2 years, time housing property became 10 per cent more affordable for house owners. Property transactions are expected to take a jump and definitely revenue generation for the state.”
