According to industry sources, more high-value transactions are likely to be registered in the luxury segment of ₹20 crore and above ticket size in the next six days as high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) try to reinvest in luxury properties. From April 1, the government has announced that long-term capital taxes exemption towards buying residential units shall be capped at ₹10 crore.
