The government has been pushing the affordable housing, and with the relief in taxation, that has definitely boosted the demand. Recently, the government has extended the benefits from CLSS to the home loans for MIG for the PMAY till the end of March 2020. Under the scheme, the homebuyer can avail the subsidy up to Rs 2.67 lacs.Co-living option
The option for co-living is not new for the people. It has been here for years and is here to stay. College students, professionals, are aware of the co-living arrangement and know that it is not only providing bed and breakfast to their people living there. The access to common room etc. is also available. The co-living option is not just limited to the metro cities but is also spreading their wings in the Tier II cities.The co-living option has given rise to a number of start-ups that serves as the listing for the available opportunity for room sharing. 2019 is the year we are waiting to see how this particular industry grows further.
