There is no shortage of supply in the residential real estate market across India, both in the ready-to-move-in and under-construction categories, thanks to low sales in the last few years. According to a report by LiasesForas, a Mumbai-based real estate rating, and research firm, at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year 2018-19, there were 945,964 unsold units in 8 tier-I cities including Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), National Capital Region (NCR) and Pune. Moreover, acknowledging the sales volume during the quarter, it will take 41 months to clear these inventories, said the article.
If you are looking to buy a home now, you would get plenty of options. But there is a benefit in choosing a ready-to-move-in property. We list eight of the benefits:
- When you purchase a ready-to-move-in residence, the biggest uncertainty that you eliminate is project delay. You are not required to wait for the completion of the apartment and other amenities in the project. While the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), 2016 has been implemented and developers are expected to adhere to timelines, most developers have listed a deadline of 5-6 years from now on the website for their projects. Typically, the deadline that developers provided earlier was for three years. In other words, most developers have already made provisions for a project delay. Any penalty or damages under RERA will get implemented only when the developer does not meet the mentioned deadlines.
- It is essential to know your neighborhood and the available foundation around the area such as nearby markets, common public areas, and parks, connectivity issues, among others. “A building offering amenities, security, a good neighborhood, and social infrastructure in the vicinity tends to work better for buyers. You can start living in a ready-to-move-in house as soon as you buy it. For those with an urgent requirement who are unable to afford both rent and EMIs, a ready-to-move-in home works well.
- Even those who can delay moving to their own house by a few months or years can never be sure about the timeline as the property will be dependent on whether the developer can execute the project on time—or worse—at all. If you do not want to move into the house you are buying and are intending to buy it for investment purposes, you can start gaining rentals as soon as you buy a ready-to-move-in property.
- “Currently, no GST is applicable (on the ready-to-move-in property) which reduces the overall financial outflow. According to the Income-tax Act, 1961, a borrower can claim deduction under Section 80C against principal repayment of a home loan, which has an overall limit of ₹ 1.5 lakh and up to ₹ 2 lakh for payment of interest under Section 24(b) for a self-acquired house. Nevertheless, there is a catch; these tax benefits can only be claimed after the construction of the property is complete and you get the registration and ownership documents. So, no possession means no tax benefit against home loan repayment.

- It is difficult to sell an under-construction property, especially if its delivery is delayed or it’s locked in a legal battle. In many cases, developers do not support the transfer of apartments until the project is finished. Even if they do, you may have to pay massive transfer charges in the range of ₹ 200-500 per sq.ft or more, which can dent your gain.
- Though there are advantages of buying a ready-to-move-in apartment, “they (home buyers) might have to shell out a little more on such purchases compared to under-construction ones," said Jain. Nonetheless, whether you buy an under-construction or ready-to-move-in property, be sure to do your due attention regarding the quality of construction, location, and surrounding infrastructure.
