REIT– Challenges

Tax inefficiency – Not a complete pass-through status

Stamp duty cost on transfer of immoveable property to REIT i.e. 5 to 12 percent depending upon the state in which property is located

Better interest yield on other fixed income products remain deterrent to the retail investors

Soft real estate market conditions (i.e. enhanced transparency and good governance) and asset quality affect the potential for a REIT market
