Binny Ltd - own property in the heart of Chennai at 1/10th the cost!

The revised JDA between binny and spr would be a key aspect. The other risk is the whether the binny mgt is shareholder friendly or not - this is an area where there are doubts and its a judgement call.

But why no income reported due to sale of flats ? from Spr customer support, I hear them saying more than 70-80% of the flats are booked…and now tower 1 is also launched…

In the past (before cmda approvals) management had indicated that they will report numbers only after the registration of undivided share of land to the buyers.

When I spoke to a sales guy at spr recently, he said that the registrations have begun (I don’t know from when).

My recent interaction on the mail with the CS

  1. When can we expect the revenues from Spr Binny project to flow into P&L statement.

you can refer to our Significant Accounting Policies given in the Annual Report under the head “Revenue Recognition” where in it is clearly mentioned that Revenue under Joint Development Agreement (JDA) will be recognised upon transfer of all significant risk and rewards of ownership and title by way of registering Undivided Share of Land (UDS) in favour of buyers. Only upon registration of UDS in favour of buyers, the revenue will be shown into P & L Statement

  1. Is company looking at any other real estate projects?

The Companies is exploring the opportunities. If anything materializes, disclosures would be made at appropriate time

Thanks @inteliinv

Registering the deed of conveyance in favour of buyers will take a long time - maybe a few years. Deed of conveyance is the final step in a long line of formalities.

The time period (for registration of UDS) should vary between different buyers depending on their ability to pay upfront, right?
Won’t the builder register the UDS and Construction agreement if a buyer is ready to pay a certain % (usually a lot more than the booking advance) of the total sale value upfront?

Registration of the agreement of sale is different from registering the UDS. UDS or deed of conveyance is registered after the construction is complete, all pymts to builder cleared, the occupancy certificate is got, the society or condominium formed and on completion of certain formalities relating to transfer of sinking fund/maintenance fund to the registered society. The final step is transfer of the land to the society. This takes quite a while if the land parcel is large and further development is envisaged on that parcel. Developers generally find new uses for the land or add some floors if they get extra TDR or extra FSI so its not easy to get them to do a deed of conveyance & its a long drawn out process.

Is this something new with RERA? Why can’t the land be registered along with a construction agreement if payment is complete? Waiting for the construction to complete seems more pain for the buyer and advantageous for the builder.

the conveyance rules were a little different in TN pre rera. The buyers had an option not to register the sale agreement and could wait until the project was fully complete and then register the deed of conveyance or UDS. This bought down the cost of property as no tax was liable to be paid to the govt till such time the registration was done. So property flipping was rampant in TN and everyone participated including developers. Now in rera regime this rule has been normalized and the sale agreements have to be registered. TN has really flexible rules and to some extent rera has been able to mitigate it - but this practice continues if there is an understanding between the buyer and seller.
