Salary Cuts, Layoffs In The Real Estate Sector; Hope Of Big Relief Package From Government

Due to the 21-day lockdown implemented across the country, there has been a possibility of salary cuts, job cuts in the real estate sector. This is because builders already struggling with cash crisis are looking for possibilities of cost reduction at a time when their sales are almost stagnant. However, property developers and consultants believe that the loss can be reduced if the government announces a big relief package for the real estate sector and the economy as a whole. 

CREDAI (National) Chairman J Shah said that real estate is the second largest sector in terms of employment after agriculture sector. Workers associated with construction and related sectors are very important part of the reality sector. There may be layoffs in jobs and reduction in salary. He said that the main priority right now is to provide basic facilities to the workers. 

Niranjan Hiranandani, president of NAREDCO has said that sales will definitely be impacted and this will affect the profitability of companies. Companies may have salary cuts. Sorting in jobs may be another option.  

He said that the developers will suffer a big setback due to this and due to this, there may be a default in the payment of debt. Hiranandani said, “If there is a lapse in payment of arrears and the amount keeps increasing then companies can go bankrupt. This will have a direct impact on jobs. ”
