“In real estate, we believe most of the cash is used in land transactions (by entities or individuals) and sellers potentially hold un-explainable sums. Post the Income Declaration Scheme 2016, and the recent government doctrine, we believe it could be difficult for them to adjust such huge sums of cash,” analyst at Kotak Institutional Equities said in a note.
“We believe NCR and MMR markets will be affected more versus those like Bangalore, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad as the former have a higher proportion of investors. Transactions in tier-2 and small towns will be affected in the near-term the most, as we believe the ‘use of cash’ in transactions is higher in such markets,” the report added.
