The Residency tower in kolkata New Town on June 02,2017.With the announcement of the rates for taxation under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for various goods, India is now one step closer to becoming a unified tax market. However, while the impact of GST on various sectors and goods is now known, industry experts are still divided over how GST will impact real estate going ahead as clarity on the tax slabs for services is still awaited. According to industry experts, prima facie it looks like that there will be a neutral impact from cost perspective. Although the work contracts will attract around 12% and most of the construction material is under the 18% and 28% slab, the availability of input tax credit should neutralize the overall impact. A lot, therefore, will depend on the proper implementation and a proper system of claiming tax credits. the Real Estate Development and Regulation Act (RERA) also under implementation, developers may need to focus much more on streamlining their processes. We may expect initial teething issues, but implementation of GST should further enhance India’s attraction as an investment destination by encouraging greater transparency and ease of operation in all property deals,” says Surabhi Arora, Senior Associate Director, Research, Colliers International India.

A worker melting the mixture of hallmark gold and copper based alloy in a Gold Jewellery Factory on June 8, 2015 in Kolkata, India. The largest consumer of gold, India is deemed to be the hub of the global jewellery market because of its low costs and availability of high-skilled labour. The Gems and jewelry sector in India plays a significant role in the Indian economy, contributing around 6-7 per cent of the country’s GDP. One of the fastest growing sectors in India, the domestic gems and jewellery industry had a market size of US$ 40.45 billion in 2013, and has the potential to grow double in the next five years. Small scale gold jewellery manufacturing industries in India still work in an unorganized yet efficient way. The technology used to manufacture gold jewellery is still old school and human labour oriented. In most of the small manufacturing shops the workers work for day in and out . Most of the time they stay inside the factory and work and just get a day off to meet their families who are often far off from their workplace. The owners provide them with food and shelter most of the time for free. The workers are often stuffed into a single room or two at the most. They don't work in definite schedule or shift rather they work on consignments and orders. The safety ,health and hygiene is often ignored but owing to the talented and hardworking craftsmen the production is always able to keep up to the market demands in Kolkata, India.
