Make contract documents simpler and fair to both the parties. We are still using age- old tender documents adopted by British, which are heavily one sided and unfair to the contractor. Considering all taxes, under all laws, be provided in the tender estimates. Absence of providing Escalation clause in tenders makes it more gambling affair, than quoting on technical competency. BAI and CIDC have prepared some fair draft of tender-document. This should be looked into and adopted, with or without necessary modifications, immediately. Fair conditions of contract will reduce delay over runs and reduce effective cost of the projects.

Make building bye-laws and rules simpler. Too many restrictions invite corruption. Corruption is the largest enemy and evil of the Country. Due to corruption, full funds do not reach the project. Project costs increase, delays occur. Strict rules are to be framed to curb corruption.

In India, many industrial houses have almost monopoly in production of certain items. While they are definitely entitled to reasonable profits, they should not be allowed to bleed the user. Cartels must be banned and made punishable. Some sort of mechanism be put in place, which keeps proper check on these houses to charge reasonable prices. Cement prices, for example, are quite expensive, even compared to the imported prices of neighbouring countries like Pakistan. How it can be?

Tax holiday on infrastructure projects, and affordable housing must continue, in the form of section 80 I(A), and 80 I(B), as before. This gives impetus to these sectors, and corelated industries.

FSI could be increased in the congested and growing cities, so as to reduce comparative cost of land.

Construction costs could be controlled by Developers, by providing practical Specifications, doing away with club houses, swimming pools etc., which only add to unnecessary costs. Specifications and Amenities could be basic, and then expandable by the owner at latter stage. Like, One single tap could be provided in Bath initially; Shower could be added by the owner, at his cost, latter

No taxes on Industries which produce Precast items for houses. Precast items are to be extensively adopted, as these could be produced in bulk, and could be erected fast, thereby reducing its cost. Precast items do not need additional finishing like cement plaster, and painting etc, resulting in further saving. Balcony railings, staircases, lintels, door frames, kitchen platforms (with sink) could all be all precast. RCC jallies could replace windows in toilets.

Provide liberal and cheaper finance to Construction companies with proven track record. Also advance money to flat purchaser at affordably cheaper rate. Today s rate of interest is just killing for the service class people, which put them off for purchasing their dwellings.

Income Tax laws will need revision to allow higher rate of depreciation (say at the rate of 50%) and concession in income tax on the rented housing. Govt should charge only nominal fee/ Stamp Duty and registration charges on these houses.

Local authorities should also extend concessions on property tax, water tax, and sanitation tax etc. on affordable and rented housing.
