Shelter to promote female workforce

Big relief when buying a house.
Everyone dreams of owning their own home. However, buying a home is not an easy task. After years of hard work, when a person accumulates capital, he or she can buy a home. But Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has given a big relief to women home buyers in the 2004 budget. Now, a waiver of stamp duty charged during registration for purchase of property in the name of women has been announced. The Finance Minister has proposed a reduction in stamp duty on registration of women’s names. With this, the poor will be able to get a big relief in stamp duty for registration while buying a home.
The Central Government has instructed states to reduce the stamp duty charged on women purchasing property. Actually, the stamp duty has to be paid during the registration of property. Apart from this, the government has also made many other announcements regarding housing in Budget 2024.
