Varma homes have just started the piling process of our very new project Varma's Spectrum in Poochatty. Everyone has heard about the term - Piling from the construction industry. Being a committed builder who has been in the construction industry for more than a decade, team Varma is committed to provide you with information from the industry which is extremely essential for customers to do a quality check of the construction.
It’s much known fact that the foundation of any building need to be strong enough to bear the load which can be vertical as well as horizontal in the events of earthquakes, heavy winds and hydrostatic pressure. Things should be done with foresightedness where to avoid any damage or calamity to the buildings, foundation should be done considering diverse conditions. The texture of the soil and waterlogging nature can also become factors to create a strong foundation. A strong piling is required in such cases, where long structures made of steel, concrete or reinforced steel are driven deep into the soil which ensures an even distribution of building loads over a big surface area. It is much essential for residential building to ensure strength in areas where soil is loose, that is basically in river banks, sea shore and dried up water bodies. For commercial properties its highly recommended as the load will be higher and also in cases where soil is weak.
There are many advantages for the entire building construction if a strong piling is done. The piles can be created in any size or length which reduces the construction time which is done with much planning and reduces less supervision when compared to shallow foundations. Effective use of piling in building construction ensures that building can take more loads than regular foundations.
• End bearing piles
• Friction Piles
• Direct Mud Circulation Piles
• Rotary Piles
• Sand piles
A structural engineer of a building is the one who decides if there should be a pile foundation for your building. In most of the cases, its done for apartment projects and the type of piling solely depends on the number of floors and amenities in the same. A soil test is done to check the nature of soil including water content, salinity and corrosiveness which would determine the capacity of the soil.
Varma Homes ensures the best quality and enforces reliability in every projects that we do and ensure the best construction principles in all our sites.
Are you someone looking for new apartments or new flats in the metro city? Then this is just the right opportunity for you to purchase any of the under-construction projects progressing within the metro city limits. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme, a home loan subsidy interest amount of Rs 2.67 lakhs is provided to the beneficiaries and the amount is credited to their loan account. Thus, the home loan borrower is privileged to lower the EMIs and this lessens the principal amount of loan payable. The Government of India is planning to drop the GST rate for property purchases with an aim to push demand, under the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) from 12% to 8%. On January 18, the GST Council had extended the GST concessional rate on projects constructed or properties acquired under the CLSS for the economically weaker section (EWS) of lower-income group and middle-income group. The home loan amount and interest subsidy rates are as follows: EWS - Individuals who are earning up to Rs 3 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 6 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 6.50% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.67 lakhs. And the carpet area has no limit. LIG - Individuals who are earning from Rs 3 to 6 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 6 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 6.50% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.67 lakhs. And the carpet area has no limit. MIG-1 - Individuals who are earning from Rs 6 to 12 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 9 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 4% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.35 lakhs. And the maximum carpet area limit is 1291 sq. ft. MIG-2 - Individuals who are earning from Rs 12 to 18 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 12 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 3% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.30 lakhs. And the maximum carpet area limit is 1614 sq. ft. A simple and transparent tax applied on the purchase price is the biggest advantage for property buyers. All under-construction properties will be charged at 8% under the GST regime (excluding stamp duty and registration charges) on property value, adding that it will not apply to ready to move in properties and completed projects, as there are no indirect taxes applicable in the sale of such properties. In case of under-construction properties, levy of stamp duty and registration charges on the buyer will continue. Under the current tax regime, the home builders are subject to central excise duty, VAT and entry taxes (levied by state) on construction material cost. On the services used (labour charges, architect fees, approval charges, legal fees, etc.), developers pay service tax of 15%. Real estate developers also grapple with the challenges of multiple-taxation and the cumulative burden eventually gets passed on to the buyer. As the benefit of input tax credit being considered as an added advantage, developers too will find the GST regime much simpler to work with. A move of bringing real estate under the purview of the new tax regime, would definitely come as a major boost for the real estate investors of the ready-to-move-in properties. As of now, only the buyers of under-construction projects are covered under the new tax regime. On booking Varma Homes, you can avail CLSS scheme under the PMAY on home loans and save upto 2.67 Lakhs (*Terms and conditions apply) and an additional 4% Goods and Services Tax (GST) deduction will also be available.
