Reduction In Stamp Duty Can Improve Buyers' Sentiment: Magicbricks Consumer Poll

Government initiatives like reduction in stamp duty can significantly spur home buying as the latest Magicbricks Consumer Poll suggested that more than 80% of prospective buyers said that reduction of stamp duty by their respective states can influence them to buy a house.

Property registration and stamp duty charges range between 5%-9% on an average across the country and add significantly to the overall cost of the property and also act as a deterrent for many first-time home buyers.

But ever since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, state governments like Maharashtra and Karnataka have already taken the lead in cutting stamp duty. The Housing Ministry has also appealed to other state governments to reduce stamp duty too, which would lessen the burden on the home buyers.

In the latest poll conducted by Magicbricks, India's No.1 property site, an overwhelming 83% of the respondents feel that a cut in stamp duty would prompt them to buy a house, while 17% feel that it would have no impact on their purchasing decision.

Commenting on the consumer sentiment, Mr. Sudhir Pai, CEO, Magicbricks said: “We have witnessed a 114% rise in housing sales in Maharashtra during the period of stamp duty cuts, between September 2020 and March 2021. But ever since the expiry of the stamp duty period, we are seeing a dip in sales. This is contrary to the constant rise in demand for housing and home loans that we are witnessing on our platform. With Work-For-Home emerging as the new normal, people are looking for bigger size houses with an extra room and hence the state governments should consider offering stamp duty holidays that would lessen the burden on homebuyers.”

Last year, the Maharashtra government had rolled out concessions in stamp duty for first sale transactions, following which, it became the first state to reduce the stamp duty charges in two slabs. This resulted in a significant rise in the number of property transactions and subsequent registrations in the state. Many real estate bodies and groups have been advocating for stamp duty subsidies and more states are expected to follow Maharashtra’s stamp duty model.

To boost real estate, the Karnataka government had also reduced stamp duty charges to 3% from 5% for properties priced between Rs.35 lakh and Rs.45 lakh. Thereafter, the Delhi government slashed the circle rates by 20% to reduce the financial burden. Above all, the central government officials in several interactions suggested that state governments reduce the stamp duty charges to boost the real estate sentiments and thereby boost realty sales in their respective states.

New JAGUAR F-PACE SVR: Pinnacle of Performance

The new F-PACE SVR is available exclusively with Jaguar’s 405 kW 5.0 l V8 supercharged petrol engine which delivers 700 Nm torque and drives enhanced performance with capability of 0-100 km/h in 4.0 s.

Enabled by Jaguar’s advanced new Electronic Vehicle Architecture, the transmission and dynamics systems have benefitted from incremental tweaks. The uprated Dynamic mode features unique tuning, delivering a focused and honed driving experience. Jaguar SV’s engineers have recalibrated the software to provide sharper throttle response, stiffen the suspension set up, optimize steering and enhance the exhaust mapping.

Drivers also benefit from improved brake feel in the new F-PACE SVR. The front and rear two-piece disc brakes are now supported by a new Integrated Power Booster which, along with a recalibration of the system, delivers a sportier and shorter brake pedal. The 5.0 l V8 Supercharged petrol engine is paired with Jaguar’s ultra-responsive, smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission which delivers rapid gearshifts for effortless performance, while adapting the way power is delivered to suit the driving situation.

Jaguar’s All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics is fitted as standard. The technology has a rear-wheel drive bias for enhanced driver engagement and performance, with predictive and reactive software that can distribute torque to the front and rear axles independently, and almost instantly, to provide greater control and stability in low traction conditions.

Configurable Dynamics provides enhanced driver appeal by enabling the driver to set up the vehicle to suit their personal preferences, with a choice of Comfort or Dynamic settings applied to the throttle mapping, gear shift points, steering effort and suspension. A stopwatch, G-Meter and pedal graph also help the driver to monitor performance in Dynamic mode while Adaptive Dynamics continuously adjusts the dampers for enhanced comfort and refinement depending on road and driving conditions.

New JAGUAR F-PACE SVR: Purposeful race inspired exterior

The design of the new F-PACE SVR is inspired by SV’s motorsport experience, with enhanced airflow and aerodynamic benefits delivered through new apertures and vents for improved powertrain and brake cooling.Surrounding the new SVR-badged grille, the revised bumper design features X-shape and blade-like elements intersecting the lower side air vents and intakes. An enlarged lower intake improves airflow, to cool the F-PACE SVR’s 405 kW powertrain.

The super-slim all-LED quad headlights with ‘Double J’ Daytime Running Light (DRL) signatures are available with optional Pixel LED technology and deliver increased resolution and brightness. Adaptive Driving Beam capability evaluates the road ahead and automatically adapts the high beam light to mask oncoming traffic or traffic signs, the system can create varying light beam patterns by selecting different LED segments to optimize visibility and minimize risk of distracting other drivers.

New JAGUAR F-PACE SVR: Precision crafted interior

The interior of the new F-PACE SVR is comprehensively redesigned, with materials enhanced to heighten the dynamic character of the revised cabin and its controls.

Jaguar’s new Drive Selector has a more performance-focused feel for the F-PACE SVR, finished in dimpled leather with heritage logo-inspired detailing and debossed SVR logo underlining the new model’s attention to detail. The outer rim of the bespoke SVR split-rim steering wheel wears the same leather finish, while the inside of the wheel features a unique Mars Red SVR stitch detail.

At the heart of the precision crafted and luxurious interior, with its new sporty centre console, incorporating an optional wireless device charger and improved console stowage, is the seamlessly integrated centrally-mounted 28.95 cm (11.4) curved-glass HD touchscreen, which sits within an elegant magnesium alloy casing and provides access to the intuitive new Pivi Pro infotainment.

A series of advanced technologies ensure the health and wellbeing of all occupants. Cabin Air Ionization improves interior air quality through Nanoe technology, which removes allergens and unpleasant odours. The system now also features PM2.5 filtration, which captures ultra-fine particles to improve occupant health and wellbeing. Customers activate the system simply by pressing the ‘Purify’ button within the infotainment.

New JAGUAR F-PACE SVR: Cutting edge connected technologies

The collection of new convenience technologies includes Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) capability, which ensures the performance SUV is always using the latest software. 

The technology means that owners don’t have to visit retailers to receive software updates for the vehicle.
