Seven states namely, Telangana, J&K, Sikkim, Nagaland, Haryana, Gujarat and Maharashtra have recorded more than 40 per cent increment in their revenue collection from SD&RCs," the study said.

"The residential real estate sector witnessed remarkable revival in FY22. Still, it is important to note that the average growth in the last two years was around 15 per cent. Considering the facts that interest rates have bottomed out, fiscal incentives have expired, inflation is high and the economic uncertainty is also steep, FY22 performance in the residential property market is unlikely to be repeated next year,” said Nikhil Gupta, chief economist, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
