Anuj Khetan - Director, Vijay Khetan Group on Maharashtra Ready Reckoner hike
"It’s being perceived that the ready reckoner rates have been increased in the state. But in reality, in the government’s view they have rationalised the rates across the city. The rates have been slashed in few areas whereas it's been hiked in some, therefore it's not a direct surge in the rates. Nonetheless, it’s not the right time to do this exercise when the industry's balance sheet is under severe stress and the country is reeling under this horrific pandemic."
