Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Sunday set the stage for launch of Real Estate and Infrastructure Investment Trusts, commonly referred to as REITs and InvIT.

In the final regulations, the market regulator has made some major changes to what it had proposed earlier. These include allowing foreign institutional investor (FII) participation and reducing the minimum asset size for a REIT. Those in the sector said these two new instruments had the potential of attracting nearly Rs 1 lakh crore to the cash-starved real estate and infrastructure sector.

The proposals were cleared at a meeting of the Sebi board, which was addressed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. In Budget 2014-15, the finance minister had announced giving a pass-through status to these trusts.

In his first interaction with Sebi's board after assuming charge as finance minister, Jaitley asked the regulator to be vigilant about possible violations in the marketplace and to come up wit measures to attract retail investors and address their grievances. Sebi Chairman U K Sinha said after the meeting that these trusts would help in the progress of the real estate and infrastructure sectors.

While the draft guidelines did not give a clarity on foreign investments in these trusts, the final norms have permitted foreign entities to invest in REITs. These investments, however, will be subject to certain guidelines, which will be issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

Among other changes, the minimum asset size of REITs, fixed at Rs 1,000 crore in the draft guidelines, has been reduced to Rs 500 crore. This is expected to bring in more assets under these trusts.

The final guidelines have also liberalised norms related to sponsors of REITs. It has increased the number of sponsors to three (from one), provided an individual owns at least five per cent of the fund.

The final guidelines have also relaxed investment norms. Now, investment of up to 20 per cent is allowed under construction assets, shares, debts of real estate companies, mortgage-backed securities, against 10 per cent proposed in under-construction assets.

"Reducing asset size to Rs 500 crore is a significant move, as it will allow more players to access this platform. Allowing REITs to invest up to 20 per cent in real estate equity and debt, will give room to diversify investment portfolio," said Bhairav Dalal, associate director, PwC India.

However, small investors would have to wait for some time before they are allowed to invest in these new products, as minimum investment amount has been fixed at Rs 2 lakh for REITs and at Rs 10 lakh for InvITs, given the complex nature and potential risks associated with these.

GENEVA, Ill. (WLS) --

The morgue is an old building that was found to have a mold problem earlier this summer. It was temporarily relocated and the mold was removed, but when the cleaning crew left, they flipped a switch that created a new headache.

The mold remediation team didn't know that when they flipped a light switch that they were also cutting electricity to a refrigerator that contains blood and tissue samples for hundreds of criminal and civil cases in Kane County going back to 2001. The power was out for anywhere from one to four days before staffers discovered what had happened.

"(Any of them lost? Anything crucial?) We don't know if they're lost or not," said Kane County Coroner Rob Russell. "We're hopeful the samples will still be good, but I can't promise that it is."

The coroner and his staff didn't know that the switch regulated the cooler, but the wiring is symptomatic, the coroner says, of a building that was once a laundry for a monastery. Space is at a premium. When visitors must identify lost loved ones, they do so in a room that ordinarily functions as a small hallway. The push for a new morgue has created some friction between the coroner and county board chairman.

"I don't like the fact that we need a new facility any more than he does, but the people's money needs to be spent in a responsible way, and this building, I mean, it's just not a long-term solution," said Russell.

Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen says the reality is a new coroner's facility is included in the county's five-year capital plan, and that the more immediate issue with the coroner is that "he overspends," won't stay within budget, has too many vehicles, performs unnecessary autopsies, and spent $1,200 on Silly Putty gifts for kids, which Lauzen calls offensive to taxpayers.

Russell says it's simple community outreach, 0.01 percent of his budget, and meant to improve impressions of an office darkened by past problems.

"For years this office has been neglected and I will continue to do what I do and if I lose an election because of it, then that's fine. At least I can sleep at night," said Russell.

There is no specific timetable for a new morgue, but the arrival of a new freezer in 6-8 weeks will allow autopsies again. They've been done since mid-June in DuPage County.
