13BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Overview of the Trust
The Property Share Investment Trust (“Trust”) is India’s first registered Small and Medium Real Estate Investment Trust. The
Property Share Investment Trust was registered with SEBI on August 5, 2024 as a small and medium real estate investment
trust under Regulation 26L(1) of the REIT Regulations having registration number IN/SM-REIT/24-25/0001. The object and
purpose of the Trust is to carry on the activity of a small and medium real estate investment trust through one or more Schemes,
as permitted under the REIT Regulations. Each Scheme may have its own investment objectives, in accordance with the REIT
Regulations. The investment of the Schemes shall only be in completed and revenue generating real estate properties through
SPVs.
Investment Objectives of the Trust
The Trust aims to make investment or re-investments as a small and medium real estate investment trust through one or more
Schemes as permissible in terms of the REIT Regulations. The investment of the Trust shall be in accordance with the REIT
Regulations, including in completed and revenue generating real estate properties under Schemes through SPVs and other
investments (including liquid assets and any business of operation and maintenance of any Trust assets) as permitted under the
REIT Regulations. The Schemes of the Trust will also hold amounts pending investment or distribution (Net Distributable
Cash Flows distributed to the Unitholders of each Scheme), or as a reserve of the Scheme’s anticipated obligations and make
Distributions to the Unitholders of the Schemes.
Investment Strategy
The Trust's investment strategy is focused on the acquisition, ownership, and management of income-generating commercial
real estate assets across India’s top seven metropolitan markets, namely Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Bengaluru,
Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Pune.
According to the JLL Report, these cities are characterized by strong economic fundamentals, robust infrastructure, and high
demand for quality office spaces, making them attractive destinations for institutional investment in commercial real estate.
Category and Type of Assets
The Trust primarily targets high quality commercial real estate assets, with a focus on office properties that are completed,
income-generating, and leased to financially sound tenants. Such assets are typically defined by stable occupancy, long-term
leasing structures, and professional property management.
Location Focus
Investments will be geographically diversified across the top seven cities noted above, which represent the most mature and
liquid commercial real estate markets in India. These markets offer scale, transparency, and sustained occupier demand
supported by favourable economic and demographic trends.
Allocation Strategy
The Trust may allocate investments across various commercial real estate opportunities in the target markets, taking into
account factors such as market conditions, asset quality, tenant profile, and regulatory considerations. While individual
Schemes launched under the Trust may target a single asset or a portfolio of assets, the Trust’s overarching strategy is to build
and manage a high-quality, diversified platform of commercial real estate assets designed to generate stable rental income and
long-term value for Unitholders.
While the primary focus remains on office assets, the Trust may, on a case-by-case basis and subject to applicable regulations,
evaluate other asset types and locations within the commercial real estate segment that align with its overall investment
objectives.
Further, the Investment Manager will ensure that its investment strategy is in compliance with the conditions stipulated under
Regulation 26T of the REIT Regulations.
Capital and Risk Management Strategy
The Investment Manager intends to institute and implement a capital and risk management strategy that is consistent with its
objective of maximizing distributions to Unitholders of Schemes of the Trust while also generating consistent total returns. To
achieve these objectives, the Investment Manager will aim to ensure an optimal capital structure of the Schemes and the
respective SPVs held by such Schemes of the Property Share Investment Trust, to maximize distribution to Unitholders of
Schemes of the Trust while also retaining adequate flexibility to acquire assets in the future in accordance with REIT
Regulations.
Further, the Investment Manager has also constituted the Risk Management Committee and adopted the Risk Management
Policy pursuant to a resolution of its board of directors on September 17, 2024. For details of the terms of references of the
14Risk Management Committee and Risk Manager Policy, please refer to “Corporate Governance – Risk Management
Committee” and “Corporate Governance – Risk Management Policy” on page 45 and page 48, respectively.
Obligations
The REIT is managed by a dedicated and experienced team of employees of the Investment Manager, who have experience in
the real estate industry or real estate fund management.
15RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider all the information in this Key
Information of the Trust and any key information of the Schemes issued by the Trust, including the risks and uncertainties
described below, before making an investment in the Units. The risks described below are those that we consider to be most
significant to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition as of the date of this Key Information of
the Trust. However, they are not the only ones relevant to us or our Units, the industry or geographies in which we operate.
Additional risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently do not deem material may also adversely
affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and consequently, the price of our Units could
decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investment. In order to obtain a complete understanding of our business,
prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with the information otherwise set out in this Key Information of
the Trust and any key information of the Schemes issued by the Trust. In making an investment decision, prospective investors
must rely on their own examination of us, and our business and the terms of any offer being made by the Trust including the
merits and risks involved.
This Key Information of the Trust also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and
assumptions. The actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result
of certain factors, including considerations described below and in “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 11.
For the definitions of technical terms, please see “Definitions and Abbreviations” from page 4 to 8.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
1. Our revenues, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected by low occupancy
and rent levels of our assets.
We propose to derive a significant portion of our revenue from the leasing of our assets in India by entering into long
term rental agreements, which are in the nature of lease deeds, leave and license agreements, and the like. The success
of our business depends on our ability to maintain high occupancy levels, which affects the amount that we receive
from leases based upon the area we have leased. However, we may be unable to receive rent at desired levels from
our tenants as a result of a number of factors, including those that are beyond our control, such as prevailing economic,
income and demographic conditions in the relevant submarkets; prevailing rental yields in the submarkets where the
assets are located; and changes in applicable regulatory schemes, including governmental policies relating to zoning
and land use, among others. The aforementioned factors may result in reduced tenant occupancy levels, as tenants can
cease operations or experience significant financial difficulties thereby impact rental payments. Therefore, the actual
rents we receive for our assets may be less than estimated market rents for future leasing, which would adversely
affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. The assets under the Schemes can be located in various
geographies and any adverse impact on such location where the assets are located will have adverse impact including
occupancy rates, market value or market rental rates, may adversely affect our revenues. Our committed occupancy
may depend on various factors including the location and design of the asset, the tenant mix, prevailing economic
conditions and competition. Our inability to maintain and attract tenants to lease our commercial office space, or to
maintain a favourable mix of tenants who are able to accommodate prevailing economic conditions and consumer
demand, may have an adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
2. Any future proposals to upgrade the projects or assets under our Schemes may be exposed to a number of risks
and uncertainties which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
In the future, we may seek to expand or upgrade the projects or assets under our Schemes. The upgradation of these
may require significant capital expenditure, which involves various risks including regulatory risks, financing risks
and the risk that these projects may ultimately prove to be unprofitable. These projects may pose significant challenges
to our management, administrative, financial and operational resources.
Any reduction in actual leasable area pursuant to an upgradation, may affect their commercial viability, which may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any delays in
completing our projects as scheduled could result in dissatisfaction among our tenants and consumers, resulting in
negative publicity and reduced confidence for our projects. Additionally, we may not achieve the economic benefits
expected of such projects. In the event there are any delays in the completion of such projects, our relevant approvals
and leases may be terminated. As a result, we cannot assure you that our future upgradation work will be completed
in a timely manner, within budget or at all.
3. Rental agreements across our Schemes are subject to certain risk of default, non-renewal, early termination,
adequate stamp duty payment, regulatory or legal proceedings or changes in applicable laws or regulations, thereby
impacting leasing and other income.
We propose to derive a substantial part of our revenue from long term rent-generating agreements in the nature of
lease agreements, leave and license agreements, and other such agreements in respect of our real estate properties in
India. Such rental agreements may expire or terminate without timely renewal or substitution thereby having a
16negative impact of rental incomes. For details of the key terms of rental agreements across our Schemes, see the
relevant key information of the Schemes issued by the Trust.
As part of our rental agreements, the tenants are generally required to furnish security deposits. The expiry or
termination of such agreements may require us to refund any deposits to the tenants, which could have a temporary
impact on liquidity. Further, any default by a tenant prior to the expiry of the rental arrangement may result in
deductions in its security deposit. As a consequence, issues may arise with our tenants in relation to the quantum of
deductions of the security deposits, which may result in our tenants refraining from handing over possession of the
property to us. Legal disputes, if filed by us in this regard, may take several years to resolve and may involve
considerable expense if they become the subject of court proceedings and their outcome may be uncertain.
Further, the terms of our lease agreements/leave and license agreements, and other such arrangements, may contain
indemnification provisions, requiring us to indemnify our tenants for breach of the representations and warranties, or
obligations that form part of such agreements. These representations and warranties are typically provided by the
erstwhile owner of assets, and we may not be able to defend such indemnity claims without having knowledge of the
basis on which such representations and warranties were made. In addition, we may not be successful in recovering
any amounts paid pursuant to such indemnity claims from the erstwhile owner of the assets.
In the event that any insolvency proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 are initiated against
our tenants, they may be subject to moratoriums which could prevent us from realizing our rental dues or further
leasing our premises to any third parties.
Further, the rental rates of the assets depend upon various factors, including but not limited to prevailing supply and
demand conditions as well as the quality and design of the assets. We cannot assure you that the demand for our
properties will grow, or will remain stable, in the future. Our tenants’ ability to generate anticipated revenues is subject
to their underlying business performances and overall volatility in the economies, as well as seasonality in the tenants’
business, which can have an impact on their ability to pay rents to us. There is no assurance that the Investment
Manager will be able to procure new leases or renew existing leases at prevailing market rates. We also may enter
into pre-committed lease arrangements with potential tenants and any changes to or delay in execution or non-
execution of the final lease agreements or agreements to lease may adversely affect our business, cash flows and
results of operations. As a result, if vacancies continue for a longer period of time than we expect or indefinitely, we
may suffer reduced revenues, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. Further, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to charge our tenants fees for maintenance of the common areas
and other amenities or services at the prevailing or current rates. In the event that our tenants demand lower charges,
dispute existing charges or the manner of computation of such charges, our ability to charge and/or recover such sums
in future may be impacted.
Further, we also face competition from other owners or developers, who may be able to offer more competitive lease
terms to our existing or potential tenants, which may make it difficult for us to find new retail or commercial tenants
for our properties or renewing our existing lease agreements on terms favourable to us or at all. If we are unable to
find new tenants or renew our leases promptly, or if the rentals upon such renewals or re-leasing are lower than our
expected value or reserves, our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and the value of our real estate
would be adversely affected. Also see, “Risk Factors—If we are unable to maintain relationships with other
stakeholders of our assets, our financial conditions and results of operation may be adversely affected” on page 19.
4. We may be subject to risks inherent in acquiring ownership interests in properties which are part of a larger
development or which share or have common areas.
Some of the properties in which we may have an interest may be part of a larger development which comprises of
other real estate components, such as residential or commercial units, or are adjacent to or incorporate common or
other areas which are shared with owners of neighbouring properties. Further we may hold undivided interest and title
to certain portions of the assets. Any asset enhancement works that we propose for our properties may require the
consent and cooperation of these owners or co-owners, associations, condominiums and co-operative societies, which
may not be forthcoming in a timely manner or at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to obtain the requisite
consent of these owners may affect our ability to deal with our interests in some of our properties in a manner which
achieves our objectives and in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations, cash flows and prospects. Our lack of control and rights to manage the shared or common areas at such
properties means that we may not be able to ameliorate any shortcomings or deterioration of, or execute any
enhancement works on, the shared or common areas. Further, we will also not be able to determine the service charges
and sinking fund contributions towards maintenance and upkeep of the shared or common areas, any or all of which
events, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
5. If the Indian real estate market weakens, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
may be adversely affected.
Our business is directly dependent on the performance of the real estate market in India, particularly in the regions
and micro markets in which we operate or intend to operate in and could be adversely affected if real estate prices or
market conditions deteriorate. Real estate markets are cyclical in nature, and a recession, slowdown or downturn in
17the real estate market as well as in specific sectors where our tenants are concentrated, increase in property taxes,
availability of financing, rising interest rates, increasing competition, adverse changes in the financial condition of
tenants, increased bargaining power of tenants, increased operating costs and outbreak of infectious disease such as
COVID-19, among others, may lead to a decline in demand for our properties, or negatively impact tenant’s ability
to pay rent, thus adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We cannot
assure you that real estate prices will increase or that real estate prices in the areas where we operate or intend to
operate in or in India in general, will not adversely fluctuate. As we generate most of our revenues from the lease of
our projects, a decrease in rental prices of real estate could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
6. We may be required to record significant charges to earnings in the future when we review our assets for potential
impairment.
As per Ind AS 36, we are required to assess (at the end of each reporting period) whether there is any indication that
an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, we are required to estimate the recoverable amount of the
asset and record impairment loss when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value of the asset to ensure
that our assets are carried at no more than their recoverable amount. Various uncertainties, including deterioration in
global economic conditions that result in upward changes in cost of capital, could impact expected cash flows to be
generated by such assets, and may result in impairment of these assets in the future.
7. The title and development rights or other interests over land where our assets may be located, and/or rights and
interests in our SPVs may be subject to legal uncertainties and defects, which may interfere with our ownership
and result in us incurring costs to remedy and cure such defects.
There may be various legal defects and irregularities in the title to the lands or development rights, right to use or
other interests relating to our assets and SPVs. These defects or irregularities may not be fully identified or assessed.
The rights or title in respect of these lands may be adversely affected by showing disregard to certain factors including
but not limited to improperly executed, unregistered or insufficiently stamped conveyance instruments in the
property’s chain of title, unregistered encumbrances in favour of third parties, irregularities in the process followed
by the land development authorities and other third parties who acquired the land or conveyed or mutation of the land
in favour of the SPVs, irregularities or mismatches or lacuna in record-keeping and title documentation, non-issuance
of public notice prior to acquisition or when the title report is issued or updated, the absence of conveyance by all
right holders and/or absence of conveyance over the entire extent of underlying land, rights of adverse possessors,
ownership claims of family members or co-owners or prior owners or other defects that we may not be aware of.
If defects are not cured, it may adversely affect the assets including the rentals which may also impact returns for the
Unitholders.
Further, in case of any land-holdings which are encumbered in favour of the lenders, invocation of security interest
will have a material impact on the Scheme’s holding of the asset, thereby impacting the returns for the Unitholders.
Legal disputes in respect of land title in India can take several years and can entail considerable expense to resolve if
they become the subject of court proceedings and their outcome can be uncertain. If such disputes are not resolved,
the assets may be restricted from further development thereon.
8. We may face certain risks relating to our reliance on third party operators in operating and managing our assets
and on contractors and third parties in upgradation of our projects that may adversely affect our reputation,
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Some of our assets may be managed by third parties which have significant decision-making authority with respect
to the management of these properties. Accordingly, our ability to direct and control how certain of our properties are
managed on a day-to-day basis may be limited because other parties will be engaged to perform this function. For
instance, for the common area maintenance of our properties (including maintenance of common infrastructure), or
facility management (including housekeeping, security, repairs and maintenance), we may rely on third party service
providers over whom the Investment Manager has limited or no control. These service providers may further sub-
contract some of the tasks assigned to them.
We may also rely on third party service providers for certain aspects of our business, including for certain information
systems, technology, administration and maintenance of corporate secretarial records. Any interruption or
deterioration in the performance of these third parties, failures of their information systems and technology, or
termination of these arrangements or other problems in our relationships with these third parties, could impair the
quality of our operations, affect our reputation and adversely affect our business.
If we do not select, manage and supervise appropriate third parties to provide these services, or if we have any
disagreements with such third parties that are not adequately resolved, our reputation and financial results may suffer.
Despite our efforts to implement and enforce strong policies and practices regarding service providers, we may not
successfully detect and prevent fraud, misconduct, incompetence or theft by our third-party operators. In addition,
any removal or termination of third party operators would require us to seek new operators, which would create delays
18and adversely affect our operations. Poor performance by such third-party operators will reflect poorly on us and
could significantly damage our reputation. In the event of fraud or misconduct by a third party, we could also be
exposed to material liability and be held responsible for damages, fines or penalties and our reputation may suffer.
9. We may not be able to successfully meet working capital or capital expenditure requirements of the SPVs under
our Schemes due to the unavailability of funding on acceptable terms.
The SPVs under our Schemes are subject to wear and tear and typically require regular capital expenditure in order
to maintain their asset quality and apply new designs to attract new tenants and consumers. The SPVs under our
Schemes may require capital expenditure periodically for refurbishments, renovation and improvements beyond our
current estimates and we may not be able to secure funding for such capital expenditure, in a timely manner or at all.
In addition, we also require funding for capital upgradation projects, and in order to support our operations and growth
strategy which may include acquiring additional properties or assets. We may not be able to recover any or all of such
costs from our tenants or any other party. Our ability to raise funding is dependent on our ability to raise capital
through fresh issue of Units and our ability to raise debt on acceptable terms.
In addition, the funding of real estate projects and real estate business is subject to extensive regulation and supervision
resulting in limited fund-raising options available to us.
Pursuant to the REIT Regulations, we are required to obtain unit holders approval and credit rating for further
borrowing, if our consolidated borrowings (excluding cash and cash equivalents) under any Schemes of the Trust
exceed 25% of the value of the underlying assets.
Our ability to arrange financing and the costs of such financing are dependent on numerous factors, including general
economic and capital market conditions, credit availability from financial institutions, investor confidence, results of
operations and cash flows, the amount and terms of our existing indebtedness, our credit ratings, the continued success
of our upgradation work and the SPVs under our Scheme and laws that are conducive to raising debt and equity.
Factors such as decreases in the market rates for development projects, delays in the release of finances for certain
projects in order to take advantage of future periods of more robust real estate demand; decreases in rental or
occupancy rates for the commercial properties; financial difficulties of key contractors resulting in construction
delays; and financial difficulties of key tenants in the commercial and retail properties could impact the availability
of credit. Our inability to raise adequate finances may result in our results of operations, cash flows and business
prospects being materially and adversely affected. Further, additional debt financing or the issuance of additional
Units in order to support our operations may decrease distributable income and any issuance of additional Units may
dilute existing Unitholders’ entitlement to distributions.
10. We may not be able to achieve distribution, and we can provide no assurance of our future operating results.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate positive cash flows in the future. We expect the costs and
expenses under our Schemes to increase in absolute amounts as we continue to grow our business. We may not be
able to increase our revenue enough to offset the increase in operating expenses. If we are unable to achieve and
sustain desired cash flows, or if we are unable to achieve the revenue growth that we expect from our growth strategies,
it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Our ability to achieve positive cash flow from operating
activities will depend on a mix of factors, some of which are beyond our control.
11. If we are unable to maintain relationships with other stakeholders of our assets, our financial conditions and
results of operation may be adversely affected.
The operation of certain of our assets depends on our relationships with other partners and stakeholders who may
have management and maintenance rights over shared parts of our assets. While the Investment Manager and our
management team have had good relationships with partners, and other stakeholders, and will strive to maintain such
relationships for future assets, we cannot assure you that the same level of relationship will be maintained in the
future. Any deterioration of the relationship could have an adverse impact on the management of the assets and on
the operations and maintenance of our assets, which could adversely affect our financial conditions and results of
operation.
12. We are exposed to a variety of risks associated with safety, security and crisis management.
We are committed to ensure the safety and security of our tenants, employees and assets against natural and man-
made threats. These include, but are not limited to, exceptional events such as extreme weather, civil or political
unrest, violence and terrorism, serious and organized crime, fraud, employee dishonesty, cybercrime, pandemics, fire
and day-to-day accidents, incidents, of guests and petty crime which impact the tenant, or employee experience, could
cause loss of life, sickness or injury and result in compensation claims, fines from regulatory bodies, litigation and
impact our reputation. Serious incidents or a combination of events could escalate into a crisis which, if managed
poorly, could further expose us and our assets to significant reputational damage. Any accidents or any criminal
activity at our properties may result in personal injury or loss of life, substantial damage to or destruction of property
and equipment resulting in the suspension of operations. Our SPVs, or our Investment Manager may (as principal
employers) become liable to persons working at our premises in case of any accidental death or grievous injury.
19Further, any work stoppages, labour unrest and labour disputes could have a material impact on our operations. Any
of the foregoing could subject us to litigation, which may increase our expenses in the event we are found liable and
could adversely affect our reputation and cause a loss of consumer confidence in our business. While we maintain
insurance on property in amounts believed to be consistent with industry practices and our insurance policies cover
physical loss or damage to our property arising from a number of specified risks including burglary, fire, landslides,
earthquakes and other perils, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance to cover all losses we may incur in
our business operations.
13. Inadequate property asset management could reduce the attractiveness of the SPVs and assets held under the
Schemes and as a result, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business depends on the proper and timely management of the SPVs and assets held under the Schemes. For
example, tenants in our SPVs and assets depend upon the quality and effective management of the properties leased
to them. Effective management includes the day-to-day operation of the asset, including activities such as regulation
of traffic, cleanliness and security, availability of utilities and parking facilities. Although we propose to focus on
management of our assets in a number of ways, including by appointing management teams of our Schemes,
ineffective or inefficient management could adversely affect the attractiveness of our assets and as a result, adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
14. We track certain operational metrics with internal systems and tools, or that are based on management estimates
and information provided by our tenants. Such metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement and
may be incomplete or unreliable, which may adversely affect our business and reputation.
We track certain operational metrics, including key business and non-Ind AS metrics such as EBITDA, EBITDA
Margin, NOI and NOI Margin, among others, with internal systems and tools and which may differ from estimates or
similar metrics published by third parties due to differences in sources, methodologies, or the assumptions on which
we rely. Our internal systems and tools have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics
may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to our metrics, including the metrics we publicly
disclose. If the internal systems and tools we use to track these metrics undercount or over count performance or
contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data we report may not be accurate.
Further, certain information contained in this Key Information of the Trust and any key information of the Schemes
issued by the Trust, including our tenant sales, market rents and tenant sales per square foot data, among others, our
funding requirements and our intended use of proceeds of any offering of Units, are based on management estimates
and internal management information systems, our business plan and data provided by our tenants and may not have
been appraised by any bank, financial institution or independent agency. While these numbers are based on what we
believe to be reasonable estimates of our metrics for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent
challenges in measuring how our platforms are used across large populations. We may also have to revise our funding
estimates depending on future contingencies and events, including, among others: changes in laws and regulations;
competition; receipt of statutory and regulatory approvals and permits; irregularities or claims with respect to title to
land or agreements related to the acquisition of land; the ability of third parties to complete their services on schedule
and on budget; delays, cost overruns or modifications to our future development and construction projects;
commencement of new projects and new initiatives; and changes in our business plans due to prevailing economic
conditions.
Any limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data or with respect to the data that we measure may affect
our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our long-term strategies. If our operating
metrics are not accurate representations of our business, if investors do not perceive our operating metrics to be
accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, we expect that our business, reputation,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations would be adversely affected.
15. Non-compliance with, and changes in, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could adversely
affect the operations and maintenance of our properties and our financial condition.
We are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations in the ordinary course of our business. If we face any
environmental concerns during the operation and maintenance of a property in the future or if the Government
introduces more stringent regulations, we may need to incur additional expenses or incur delays in our estimated
timelines. Under these laws, owners and operators of property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such property. These laws often impose such
liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, any environmental damage
or pollution and the presence of such substances or materials. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of
these substances may be substantial. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions. In
the event that we are subject to any action or penalty by the relevant authorities in relation to any delays or deviations
in the future, it could adversely impact our ability to continue operating the relevant project in a profitable manner, or
at all. Compliance with new or more stringent environment laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing
laws may require us to incur additional costs. We cannot assure you that future laws, ordinances or regulations will
not impose any material environmental liability or that the current environmental condition of our assets will not be
20affected by existing conditions of the land, operations in the vicinity of the assets or the activities of unrelated third
parties. In addition, we may be required to comply with various local, state and central fire, health, life-safety and
similar regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in fines and/or damages,
suspension of personnel, civil liability or other sanctions.
16. We may be adversely affected if the assets under our Schemes are unable to obtain, maintain or renew all
regulatory approvals that are required for their respective business.
The assets under our Schemes require various approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions from the Government,
local bodies and other regulators, for operating their respective business. A number of approvals are subject to certain
terms and conditions and non-compliance with all such terms and conditions may result in an interruption of our
business operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business operations, future financial performance
and price of our Units. As part of commercial understanding with tenants, certain approvals may be required to be
procured by the tenants. We cannot assure you that they will obtain all such approvals. Further, certain approvals may
expire in the ordinary course, and the same may have either applied, or are in the process of being applied. Certain
approvals required to be obtained for the assets may be untraceable.
Additionally, such local regulations may cause us to incur additional costs to renovate or maintain our properties in
accordance with the particular rules and regulations. We cannot assure you that existing regulatory policies or any
changes to such policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions, or that additional
regulations will not be adopted that would increase such delays or result in additional costs.
Our business and growth strategies may be materially and adversely affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses
and approvals. Our failure to obtain or maintain such permits, licenses and approvals could have a material adverse
effect on us.
17. The SPVs under our Schemes are subject to ongoing compliance requirements under various laws, and there may
be instances of non-compliance.
The SPVs under our Schemes may be subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, regulations, guidelines and
circulars issued by SEBI, Reserve Bank of India, stock exchanges, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and other regulatory
authorities and government bodies, which, inter alia, prescribes various norms in relation to, inter alia, issuance of
capital, corporate governance, related party transactions, corporate and stock exchange filings, appointment of key
managerial personnel and secretarial record-keeping. While the SPVs under our Schemes will typically conduct their
operations in a manner compliant in material respects with the regulatory framework applicable to them, but necessary
corrective steps including rectification, settlement and/or compounding of such non compliances may be made by the
relevant entities. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to penalties or other regulatory action in this regard
in the future or that such instances will not occur in the future. Any non-compliance, or delay in filing under applicable
laws will subject the relevant SPVs to a penalty and/or regulatory action, which may have an impact on the results of
operations and cash flows of such SPV.
18. There may be conflicts of interests between the Lead Manager and/or their associates and affiliates and the
Investment Manager, the Trustee and/or their respective associates/affiliates.
The Lead Manager and/or their associates and/or affiliates may be current or past tenants or may have and may
continue to provide investment banking, financial, advisory and/or other services to the SPVs under our Schemes, the
Investment Manager, and their respective associates and affiliates. The Lead Manager and/or their affiliates and
associates may also have participated in or will participate (including as arrangers) in financings by the Trust or the
SPVs under our Schemes, including any proposed debt issue after the listing of the Units. In addition, in the ordinary
course of their commercial banking and investment banking activities, the Lead Manager and their respective
associates and affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions,
for their own account or the accounts of their consumers, in debt or equity securities or Units, or related derivative
instruments, of the Trust, the SPVs under our Scheme, the Investment Manager, the Trustee, and/or any of their
respective group companies, affiliates or associates or any third parties. These may influence the Investment
Manager’s decisions regarding whether to undertake certain transactions with the Lead Manager and/or their
associates/ affiliates.
19. The assets under our Schemes may be subject to increases in direct expenses and other operating expenses.
Renovation work, repair and maintenance or physical damage to the assets may disrupt our operations and
collection of revenue from lease rentals or otherwise result in an adverse impact on our financial condition and
results of operation.
Our ability to make distributions to Unitholders could be adversely affected if direct expenses and other operating
expenses increase due to various factors including, without limitation, increases in property tax, changes in tax policies
and increases in repair and maintenance costs. Any withdrawal of tax benefits currently or subsequently enjoyed by
us may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.
21As our assets age, the costs of maintenance will increase and, without significant expenditure on refurbishment, the
net gross asset value may decline. Consequently, the Net Asset Value per Unit may decline unless we acquire new
assets. The quality and design of the assets have a direct influence over the demand for space in, and the rental rates
of the assets. In addition, the costs of maintenance on some of our assets may be higher, and the need for rebuilding
or refurbishment more frequent in order to maintain their market position as premium properties. The business and
operations of the assets may suffer some disruption, and it may not be possible to collect the full or any rental income
on space affected by such upgradation works, if such works are extensive. We routinely undertake renovations and
refurbishment of our assets and have faced disruptions in the rental of these assets from time to time.
20. Unfavourable media coverage could harm our brand, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations.
Unfavourable publicity could adversely affect our reputation. As our business continues to scale and public awareness
of our brand increases, any future issues that draw media coverage could have an amplified negative effect on our
reputation and brand. In addition, negative publicity related to any of our tenants, may damage our reputation. Any
negative publicity that we may receive could diminish confidence in our brand and may result in increased regulation
and legislative scrutiny of industry practices as well as increased litigation, which may further increase our costs of
doing business and adversely affect our business. As a result, any impairment or damage to our brand, including as a
result of these or other factors, could adversely affect our business, reputation, cash flows, results of operations and
financial condition. Many social media platforms publish their subscriber’s or participant’s content, often without
filters on accuracy. The dissemination of inaccurate information regarding our business or brand online could harm
our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition, trading price and operating results, regardless of the
information’s accuracy. The damage may be immediate without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction.
21. The Property Share Investment Trust does not own the trademark “Property Share Investment Trust” and the
associated logo to be used by us for our business and our ability to use the trademark may be impaired.
Property Share Investment Trust has made an application for the use of the trademark “Property Share Investment
Trust” and the associated logo which remains pending for approval. Property Share Investment Trust’s ability to use
the trademark and the associated logo may be impaired if the trademark application will be rejected. Consequently,
Property Share Investment Trust could be required to cease using “Property Share Investment Trust” and the
associated logo, which may have an adverse effect on our operations.
Although we believe that our intellectual property rights do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any other
party, we cannot assure you that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future. If we become liable
to third parties for infringing their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award
and be forced to immediately restrict our usage of such intellectual property.
Further, brands and trademark “Property Share” are licensed through a letter agreement to the Investment Manager
by AltInvest Online Platform Private Limited, (formerly known as PropertyShare Online Platform Private Limited)
parent company of the Investment Manager. The Licensee was given a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-
sublicensable, and non-assignable license to the aforementioned trademarks. Pursuant to an addendum executed
between the licensing parties, the nature of the license was made exclusive. As per the agreement, the license is not
limited for a period of time, and a one-time license fee has been paid in respect of the same. However, we cannot
assure you that Investment Manager will continue to have the uninterrupted use and enjoyment of the trademarks or
logo. The license may be terminated under certain circumstances, some of which we may not be able to control. Upon
the termination of the license, Investment Manager will be required to cease the use of the relevant trademark within
such mutually agreed time period from the date of termination.
22. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may
be adversely affected.
Our growth strategy relies heavily upon our ability to maintain our assets. We operate our businesses in an intensely
competitive and highly fragmented environment. We face significant competition in our business from a large number
of private players with comparable projects and REITs, who hold commercial office real estate assets.
The extent of the competition we face in a potential project depends on a number of factors, such as the sector, the
size and type of project, the complexity, and location of the project, our ability to deliver a superior experience for
our tenants and consumers, and our reputation. In particular, competition from new or existing properties in the same
submarkets as our assets markets could adversely affect our ability to grow footfalls, attract tenants and increase
revenues at our assets. If we are unable to compete effectively against any commercial properties within proximity
to, or in the same sub-market, our revenue would be reduced and our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows will be adversely affected. Increasing competition could result in price and supply volatility,
which could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to be adversely affected.
Given the fragmented nature of the Indian real estate development industry, we often do not have adequate information
about the upgradation projects our competitors are working on and accordingly, we may underestimate supply in the
market. Demand for our services may not grow as anticipated in certain newer markets. If we are unable to grow our
22business in such markets effectively, our growth, business prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition may be adversely affected.
23. Our operating results may differ significantly from period to period which may adversely affect our business and
financial condition.
Our operating results may differ significantly from period to period due to factors such as difficulties in enhancing
our developed properties, our ability to consummate the internal reorganization of our SPVs, our revenue recognition
model, changes to the real estate market and/or inaccurate estimates of the resources and time required to maintain
and operate existing assets. Due to the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future financial periods our
operating results may be significantly below the expectations of the market, analysts and investors and/or different
from those in previous periods.
24. Our business may be adversely affected by the illiquidity of real estate investments.
SM REITs are relatively illiquid and such illiquidity may affect our ability to vary our investment Portfolio or liquidate
part of our assets in response to changes in economic, property market or other conditions. The market for SM REITs
is at a nascent stage and there is limited history of trading of units of SM REITs. Further, under the REIT Regulations,
the minimum unitholding requirement applicable to the investment manager for the period of first three years
commencing from the date of listing of units in the initial offer till the end of the third year from the date of listing of
units in the initial offer, is as under:
(a) in a scheme of the SM REIT which has opted not to undertake leverage as per disclosures in the key
information of the schemes filed for initial offer, the investment manager is required to hold at least 5% of
the total outstanding units for the relevant period;
(b) in a scheme of the SM REIT which has opted to undertake leverage as per disclosures in the key information
of the schemes filed for initial offer, the investment manager is required to hold at least 15% of the total
outstanding units for the relevant period.
The investment manager is required to hold at least 5% of the total outstanding units in each scheme of the SM REIT,
at all times, for a period of two years commencing from the fourth year of the date of listing of units in the initial offer
till the end of fifth year from the date of listing of units issued in the initial offer.
The investment manager is required to hold at least 3% of the total outstanding units in each scheme of the SM REIT,
at all times, for a period of five years commencing from the sixth year of the date of listing of units in the initial offer
till the end of tenth year from the date of listing of units issued in the initial offer.
The investment manager is required to hold at least 2% of the total outstanding units in each scheme of the SM REIT,
at all times, for a period of ten years commencing from the eleventh year of the date of listing of units in the initial
offer till the end of twentieth year from the date of listing of units issued in the initial offer.
The investment manager is required to hold at least 1% of the total outstanding units in each scheme of the SM REIT,
at all times, after the completion of twentieth year from the date of listing of units issued in the initial offer.
Additionally, any sale of property or shares of SPVs greater than 105% or less than 95% of the value of the SM REIT
Assets will require the approval of Unitholders. We may also face difficulties in securing timely and commercially
favourable financing in asset-based lending transactions secured by real estate due to the illiquid nature of real estate
assets. These factors could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows,
with a consequential adverse effect on our ability to deliver expected distributions to Unitholders.
25. Security and IT risks may disrupt our business, result in losses or limit our growth.
Our business is highly dependent on the financial, accounting, communications and other data processing systems of
our Investment Manager. Such systems may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of tampering or a
breach of the network security systems or otherwise. In addition, such systems are from time to time subject to
cyberattacks, which may continue to increase in frequency in the future. Breaches of our network security systems
could involve attacks that are intended to obtain unauthorized access to our proprietary information, destroy data or
disable, degrade or sabotage our systems, often through the introduction of computer viruses and other malicious
code, cyberattacks and other means and could originate from a wide variety of sources, including unknown third
parties. If such systems are compromised, do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer financial loss, a
disruption of our business, liability to investors, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.
In addition, we are highly dependent on information systems and technology. Our information systems and technology
may not continue to be able to accommodate our growth, and the cost of maintaining such systems may increase from
its current level. Such a failure to accommodate growth, or an increase in costs related to such information systems,
could have a material adverse effect on us.
23Risks Related to our Organization and Structure
26. We do not provide any assurance or guarantee of any distributions to the Unitholders. We may not be able to make
distributions to Unitholders in the manner described in this Key Information of the Trust and any key information
of the Schemes issued by the Trust or at all, and the level of distributions may decrease.
There is no assurance or guarantee of any distributions to the Unitholders. Distributions to Unitholders will be based
on the net distributable cash flows available for distribution. The assessment of the net distributable cash flows is
based on pre-determined framework as per applicable regulations and as more specifically prescribed in: (i) the
relevant key information of the Schemes, and (ii) the Distribution Policy, in consultation with financial and tax
advisors, the results of which will be subject to limited review by our Auditors. For details of the REIT Regulations
governing distributions, and details of our Distribution Policy, see “Distributions” on page 62.
Our ability to make distributions may be affected by several factors including the risk factors described in this Key
Information of the Trust, as well as, among other things:
• cash flows received from the assets and SPVs under our Schemes;
• any debt servicing requirements and other liabilities of the SPVs under our Schemes;
• fluctuations in the working capital needs of the SPVs under our Schemes;
• ability of the SPVs under our Schemes to borrow funds and access capital markets;
• the extent of lease concession, rent free periods, and incentives given to tenants to attract new tenants and/or
retain existing tenants, if any;
• restrictions contained in and any payments under any agreements entered into by the SPVs under our Scheme
including regulatory authorities from whom land is leased, if any;
• business and financial position of the SPVs under our Schemes, including any operating losses incurred by
the assets held by the SPVs under our Scheme in any financial year;
• applicable laws and regulations, which may restrict the payment of dividends by the SPVs under our Schemes
or other distributions;
• payments of tax and other legal liabilities, including costs arising on account of litigation; and
• discharging indemnity or other contractual obligations of the SPVs under our Schemes, from their respective
underlying contracts or similar obligations or any fines, penalties levied by regulatory authorities.
In the event of the inability to make such distributions, the Investment Manager and the Trustee may evaluate various
options to make distributions to the Unitholders and utilize such surplus cash. We cannot assure you that the structures
implemented will be effective in extracting such surplus cash for making distributions to the public. For further details,
see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 63.
27. The REIT Regulations impose restrictions on the investments made by us and require us to adhere to certain
investment conditions, which may limit our ability to acquire and/or dispose of assets or explore new opportunities.
Further, the regulatory framework governing real estate investment trusts in India is relatively new.
The REIT Regulations require us to ensure compliance with certain requirements, including ensuring that at least
ninety-five per cent of the value of the Scheme’s assets is invested in completed and revenue generating properties.
There are also regulatory requirements which impose conditions on minimum unit holding of the Investment Manager
entity and debt financing limits, which may constrain our ability to raise funds and limit our ability to make
investments.
Failure to comply with these and other applicable requirements may present additional risks to us and lead to adverse
consequences, including divestment of certain assets, delisting, other penalties and statutory actions which could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
As the regulatory framework governing small and medium real estate investment trusts in India, including the REIT
Regulations, comprises a relatively new set of regulations, interpretation and enforcement by regulators and courts
involves uncertainties. Accordingly, the applicability of certain regulations to us, the Units, or debt and other securities
or instruments issued by us may be unclear, which may increase compliance and legal costs and lead to business
interruptions, thus impacting our ability to compete effectively or make distributions to Unitholders. Changes in
regulation, interpretation and enforcement may make it more onerous for us to comply with the REIT Regulations.
2428. The reporting requirements and other obligations of real estate investment trusts post-listing are still evolving.
Accordingly, the level of disclosures made to, and the protections granted to Unitholders may be more limited that
those made to or available to the shareholders of a company that has listed its equity shares upon a recognised
stock exchange in India.
The disclosures made to Unitholders in relation to the Trust and our Schemes are as per the REIT Regulations, REIT
Master Circular, and the SEBI Guidelines, which may differ from those made to the shareholders of a company that
has listed its equity shared on a recognised stock exchange in India, in accordance with the SEBI Listing Regulations.
Further, the applicability of certain SEBI regulations to us is unclear, as real estate investment trusts are not
“companies” or “body corporate” within the meaning of various regulations issued by the SEBI. Additionally,
applicability of few provisions under the REIT Master Circular to SM REITs are also not clear, as a few provisions
which are completely applicable to REITs may not be applicable to SM REITs.
The Trust Deed and various provisions of Indian law govern our operations. Legal principles relating to these matters
and the validity of corporate procedures, fiduciary duties and liabilities, and the rights of the Unitholders may not be
as extensive as the rights of the shareholders of a company that has listed its equity shares upon a recognised stock
exchange in India or a trust in another jurisdiction, and accordingly, the protection available to Unitholders may be
more limited than those available to such shareholders. For instance, shareholders of listed companies are entitled to
an exit in case of any variation in the objects of a public issue. Unitholders of a REIT do not have such a right for a
public issue of Units. Unitholders’ rights and disclosure standards under Indian law may also differ from the laws of
other countries or jurisdictions.
Risks Related to our Relationships with the Investment Manager
29. We and parties associated with us are required to maintain the eligibility conditions specified under REIT
Regulations as well as the Certificate of Registration on an ongoing basis. We may not be able to ensure such
ongoing compliance by the Investment Manager and the Trustee, which could result in the cancellation of our
registration.
We are required to maintain the eligibility conditions specified under the REIT Regulations on an ongoing basis.
These eligibility conditions include, among other things, that (a) Investment Manager and the Trustee are separate
entities, (b) the Investment Manager has a net worth of not less than as prescribed under the REIT Regulations (c) the
Trustee is registered with the SEBI under Securities and Exchange Board of India (Debenture Trustees) Regulations,
1993 and is not an associate of the Investment Manager, and (d) each of the Investment Manager and the Trustee are
“fit and proper persons” as defined under Schedule II of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Intermediaries)
Regulations 2008 on an ongoing basis. We may not be able to ensure such ongoing compliance or any additional
critical new compliance requirements by the Investment Manager and the Trustee, which could result in the
cancellation of our registration.
30. We depend on the Investment Manager and its personnel for our success and our results of operations, financial
condition, cash flows and ability to make distributions may be harmed if the Investment Manager fails to perform
satisfactorily, for which our recourse may be limited. We may not find a suitable replacement for the Investment
Manager if the Investment Management Agreement is terminated or if key personnel cease to be employed by the
Investment Manager or otherwise become unavailable to us.
We are externally managed and advised by the Investment Manager, in accordance with the REIT Regulations and
pursuant to the terms of the Investment Management Agreement. The Investment Manager is required to make
investment decisions in respect of our underlying assets and Schemes, including any further investment or divestment
of assets, and our Schemes.
There is no assurance that the Investment Manager will be able to implement its investment decisions successfully or
that it will be able to expand our portfolio at any specified rate or to any specified size or to maintain distributions at
projected levels. The Investment Manager may not be able to make acquisitions or investments on favourable terms
or within a desired time frame, and it may not be able to manage the operations of its underlying assets in a profitable
manner. Factors that may affect this risk may include, but are not limited to, changes in the regulatory framework in
India, competition for assets, changes in the Indian regulatory or legal environment or macroeconomic conditions.
Even if the Investment Manager is able to successfully grow the operating business of the underlying assets and to
acquire further assets as desired, there can be no assurance that the Investment Manager will achieve its intended
return on such acquisitions or capital investments. Additionally, there exists the risk that the SM REIT management
fees payable to the Investment Manager may not create proper incentives or may induce the Investment Manager and
its affiliates to make certain investments, that increase the risk of our Schemes. The SM REIT management fees
(which includes all type of fees charged by the Investment Manager, such as scheme management fee, property
management fee, property acquisition fee, and divestment fee) are also not a product of an arm’s length negotiation
with any third party. Further, the Investment Manager will also undertake property management for assets under our
Schemes and any change in our relationship with the Investment Manager will also affect the services provided by
the SPVs under our Schemes to their tenants. For details, please see “The Investment Manager” from page 33 to 37.
25We rely on certain key personnel to carry out our business and investment strategies, and the loss of the services of
any of our key personnel, or our inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse
effect on our business and financial results. In addition, the implementation of our business plan may require that we
employ additional qualified personnel. competition for highly skilled investment managerial, investment, financial
and operational personnel is intense. We cannot assure our Unitholders that we will be successful in attracting and
retaining such skilled personnel. If we are unable to hire and retain qualified personnel as required, our growth and
operating results could be adversely affected.
The Investment Manager may delegate certain of its functions to third parties. Should the Investment Manager, or any
third party to whom the Investment Manager has delegated its functions, fail to perform its services effectively and in
time, the value of our assets might be adversely affected and this may result in a loss of tenants, which will adversely
affect distributions to Unitholders. Further, as the Investment Manager will be based in Bangalore, the diverse
geographical locations of our employees, including our senior management, may reduce our operational efficiency.
In addition, we can offer no assurance that the Investment Manager will remain our Investment Manager or that we
will continue to have access to the Investment Manager’s officers and key personnel. If the Investment Management
Agreement is terminated or if the Investment Manager defaults in the performance of its obligations thereunder, we
may be unable to contract with a substitute service provider on similar terms or at all, and the costs of substituting
service providers may be substantial. For further details, see “The Investment Manager—Key Terms of the Investment
Management Agreement” from page 34 to 37.
31. The Investment Manager may not be able to receive future funding to comply with its minimum unitholding
requirements, which may impede the Trust’s ability to acquire future assets
The REIT Regulations require us to ensure compliance with certain requirements, including conditions on minimum
unitholding of the Investment Manager and debt financing limits in the various Schemes of the Trust. The Investment
Manager will need to make available funds for fulfilling this obligation on a continuing basis. However, with multiple
Schemes, the present funding sources of the Investment Manager may prove insufficient, and failure to raise adequate
funding in the future, may make it difficult for the Investment Manager to comply with the statutory requirement in
respect of the Trust and its Schemes. Further, non-compliances of these requirements and other applicable laws may
present additional risks to us and lead to adverse consequences, including divestment of certain assets, delisting, other
penalties and statutory actions which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows. The Investment Manager’s financial ability may further impede the Trust’s ability to
acquire further assets under the Schemes in the future, thereby negatively impacting the value which we can create
for our Unitholders.
Risks Related to India
32. Political, macroeconomic, demographic and other changes and natural disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts
of war, civil unrest and other events could adversely affect economic conditions in India.
The Investment Manager is incorporated in India and the Property Share Investment Trust is registered in India, and
our assets and the SPVs under our Schemes are located in India. Consequently, our performance and the market price
of the Units may be affected by interest rates, government policies, taxation, and other social, political and economic
developments affecting India.
Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and hence our results of operations and cash flows, may
include:
• the macroeconomic climate, including any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation;
• any exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of currency controls and restrictions on the right to convert or
repatriate currency or export assets;
• any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, resulting in an adverse effect on economic conditions in
India and scarcity of financing for our expansions;
• prevailing income conditions among Indian consumers and Indian corporations;
• epidemic, pandemic or any other public health in India or in countries in the region or globally, including in
India’s various neighbouring countries, such as the highly pathogenic H7N9, H5N1 and H1N1 strains of
influenza in birds and swine and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic;
• volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on, India’s principal stock exchanges;
• political instability, terrorism or military conflict in India or in countries in the region or globally, including
in India’s various neighbouring countries;
26• occurrence of force majeure events such as but not limited to natural or man-made disasters (such as
typhoons, flooding, earthquakes and fires) which may cause us to suspend our operations;
• prevailing regional or global economic conditions, including in India’s principal export markets;
• balance of trade movements, including export demand and movements in key imports, including oil and oil
products;
• other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India or its real estate or consumption
sector;
• international business practices that may conflict with other customs or legal requirements to which we are
subject, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws;
• protectionist and other adverse public policies, including local content requirements, import/export tariffs,
increased regulations or capital investment requirements;
• logistical and communications challenges;
• downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by rating agencies;
• difficulty in developing any necessary partnerships with local businesses on commercially acceptable terms
or on a timely basis; and
• being subject to the jurisdiction of foreign courts, including uncertainty of judicial processes and difficulty
enforcing contractual agreements or judgments in foreign legal systems or incurring additional costs to do
so.
Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy, could
adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and the price of the Units.
33. Financial instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries,
including conditions in the United States, Europe, China and certain emerging economies in Asia. Although economic
conditions vary across markets, loss of investor confidence in one emerging economy may cause increased volatility
across other economies, including India. Financial instability in other parts of the world could have a global influence
and thereby negatively affect the Indian economy. Financial disruptions could materially and adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Further, economic developments globally can have a significant impact on India. Concerns related to a trade war
between large economies may lead to increased risk aversion and volatility in global capital markets and consequently
have an impact on the Indian economy. Significant political, regulatory and economic uncertainty remains about how
the precise terms of the relationship between the parties will differ from the terms before withdrawal, and more
generally, as to the impact of Brexit on the general economic conditions in the United Kingdom and the European
economies and any consequential impact on global financial markets. For example, Brexit could give rise to increased
volatility in foreign exchange rate movements and the value of equity and debt investments. In addition, China is one
of India’s major trading partners and there are rising concerns of a strained relationship with India, which could have
an adverse impact on the trade relations between the two countries. Risks resulting from a relapse in the Eurozone
crisis or any future debt crisis in Europe or any similar crisis could have a detrimental impact on consumer confidence
levels and global economic recovery. The sovereign rating downgrades for Brazil and Russia (and the imposition of
sanctions on Russia) have also added to the growth risks for these markets. These factors may also result in a
slowdown in India’s export growth.
Recent changes in Bangladesh regime due to political crisis leading to escalating protests and financial instability
could jeopardize its trade relations with India and led to instability in certain regional areas which might impact India’s
economic growth.
These developments, or the perception that any related developments could occur, have had and may continue to have
a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and financial markets, and may significantly reduce global
market liquidity, restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets or restrict our
access to capital. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows and reduce the price of the Units.
34. A downgrade in ratings of India, may affect the trading price of the Units.
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India.
India’s sovereign rating is Baa3 with a “stable” outlook (Moody’s), BBB– with a “stable” outlook (S&P) and BBB–
27with a “negative” outlook (Fitch). Any further adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international
debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and the interest
rates and other commercial terms at which such financing is available, including raising any overseas additional
financing. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may occur, for example, upon a change of government tax or fiscal
policy, which are outside our control. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable
terms or at all, and consequently adversely affect our business, cash flows and financial performance and the price of
the Units.
35. It may not be possible for Unitholders to enforce foreign judgments.
The Trust is settled and registered in India. The Trustee and the Investment Manager are incorporated in India. All of
the assets under the Schemes are located in India. Where investors wish to enforce foreign judgments in India, where
our assets are or will be located, they may face difficulties in enforcing such judgments. India is not a party to any
international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. India exercises reciprocal
recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with a limited number of jurisdictions,
including Singapore.
In order to be enforceable, a judgment obtained in a jurisdiction which India recognizes as a reciprocating territory
must meet certain requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (“Civil Code”). Furthermore, the Civil Code
only permits enforcement of monetary decrees not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes, or
other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty and does not provide for the enforcement of
arbitration awards even if such awards are enforceable as a decree or judgment. Judgments or decrees from
jurisdictions not recognized as a reciprocating territory by India cannot be enforced or executed in India except
through a fresh suit upon judgment. Even if we or a Unitholder were to obtain a judgment in such a jurisdiction, we
or it would be required to institute a fresh suit upon the judgment and would not be able to enforce such judgment by
proceedings in execution. In addition, the party which has obtained such judgment must institute the new proceedings
within three years of obtaining the judgment. It is unlikely that an Indian court would award damages on the same
basis or to the same extent as was awarded in a judgment rendered by a foreign court if the Indian court believed that
the amount of damages awarded was excessive or inconsistent with public policy in India. In addition, any person
seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain prior approval of the RBI to repatriate outside
India any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of the judgment.
Consequently, it may not be possible to enforce in an Indian court any judgment obtained in a foreign court, or effect
service of process outside of India, against Indian companies, their directors and executive officers, and any other
parties resident in India. Additionally, there is no assurance that a suit brought in an Indian court in relation to a
foreign judgment will be disposed of in a timely manner.
36. We are subject to taxes and other levies imposed by the central and state governments in India, as well as other
financial policies and regulations. Tax laws are subject to changes and differing interpretations, which may
materially and adversely affect our operations and growth prospects.
We are subject to a number of taxes and other levies imposed by the central and state governments in India, particularly
Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), on lease and maintenance of properties, as well as certain other taxes, duties or
surcharges introduced on a permanent or temporary basis. The central and state tax scheme in India is extensive and
subject to change from time to time. Any adverse changes in any of the taxes levied by the central or state governments
in India may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The current tax laws and regulations in India provide certain exemptions to interest/dividend income earned by
business trusts from a special purpose vehicle. These exemptions could be modified or removed at any time or clarified
in a manner adverse to Unitholders, which could adversely affect our profitability and the amount available for
distribution to Unitholders. Further, the government of India has introduced the Income-tax Bill, 2025 (“IT Bill”)
before the parliament on February 13, 2025, which, if approved by the parliament, may replace the current Income-
tax Act, 1961 with effect from April 1, 2026. Once enacted, the IT Bill may modify or remove the exemptions
mentioned above or clarify in a manner adverse to Unitholders, which could adversely affect their taxability.
Tax laws and regulations are subject to differing interpretations by tax authorities. Differing interpretations of tax and
other fiscal laws and regulations may exist within governmental ministries, including tax administrations and appellate
authorities, thus creating uncertainty and potential unexpected results. The degree of uncertainty in tax laws and
regulations, combined with significant penalties for default and a risk of aggressive action, including by retrospective
legislation, by the governmental or tax authorities, may result in tax risks in the jurisdictions in which we operate
being significantly higher than expected. For instance, while the Investment Manager intends to take measures to
ensure that it is in compliance with all relevant tax laws, there is no assurance that the tax authorities will not take a
position that differs from the position taken by us with regard to our tax treatment of various items. Any of the above
events may result in a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows
and/or prospects and our ability to make distributions to the Unitholders. Tax authorities in India may also introduce
additional or new regulations applicable to our business which could adversely affect our business and profitability.
28We may incur increases costs relating to compliance with any new requirements, which may also require management
time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash
flows and prospects. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change
in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or
judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of the current
business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
37. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of Units.
Any gain exceeding ₹0.125 million realized on the sale of Units held for more than 12 months will be subject to
capital gains tax in India at 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) if STT has been paid on the transaction.
Further, gains realized on the sale of Units held for 12 months or less will be subject to capital gains tax in India at
20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) if STT is paid on the transaction. Such gains shall be computed on sale of
units after reducing from their cost of acquisition any amount distributed to the Unitholders by the REIT which is not
in the nature of dividends, interest or any other income.
STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Units are sold. Any gain realized on
the sale of the Units held for more than 12 months to an Indian resident, on which no STT has been paid, will be
subject to long-term capital gains tax in India at 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). Further, any gain realized
on the sale of Units held for a period of 12 months or less and on which STT is not paid will be subject to short-term
capital gains tax in India at normal rates at which the unitholder would be subject to tax on his other incomes. Capital
gains arising from the sale of the Units will be taxable in India in accordance with applicable laws, subject to a treaty
between India and the country of which the seller is resident. The above statements are based on the current tax laws
and subject to change as a result of the introduction of new laws or amendments to existing laws.
38. Our business and activities may be regulated by the Competition Act, 2002 and any breach thereof may invite
sanctions.
The Competition Act, 2002, as amended (“Competition Act”), prohibits any anti-competition agreement or
arrangement, understanding or action in concert between enterprises, whether formal or informal, which causes or is
likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a
dominant position by any enterprise. The combination regulation (merger control) provisions under the Competition
Act require acquisitions of shares, voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the
prescribed asset and turnover based thresholds to be mandatorily notified to, and pre-approved by, the Competition
Commission of India (“CCI”). Any breach of the provisions of Competition Act, may attract monetary penalties.
The Competition Act aims to, among other things, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an
appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India. Consequently, all agreements entered into
by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can
investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or
combination has an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. In the event that any of the assets proposed to
be acquired by us cross the prescribed thresholds, we cannot assure you that we will receive the necessary approvals
from the CCI to consummate such transactions. Any prohibition or substantial penalties levied under the Competition
Act could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any adverse impact on
our financial condition or operations due to the Competition Act may have a material adverse impact on our business,
financial condition, results of operations, prospects and our ability to make distributions to the Unitholders.
39. Compliance with the European Union Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Investment Managers and the
United Kingdom Regulation on Alternative Investment Fund Investment Managers may increase administrative
and regulatory burdens on the Investment Manager and us.
As used herein, the “AIFMD” refers to Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of June
8, 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Investment Managers, together with EU Commission delegated Regulation
(EU) No. 231/2013 of December 19, 2012, supplementary Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of
the Council, and the national laws transposing Directive 2011/61/EU in any EEA Member State in which the Units
are marketed. The “UK AIFMR” refers to the United Kingdom’s (the “UK”) Alternative Investment Fund Investment
Managers Regulations 2013.
Among other things, the AIFMD regulates and imposes regulatory obligations in respect of the active marketing in
the EEA by AIFMs (irrespective of whether they have their registered office in an EEA Member State or elsewhere)
of AIFs (whether established in an EEA Member State or elsewhere). The Investment Manager is a non-EEA AIFM
for the purposes of the AIFMD. Non-EEA AIFMs are currently not able to become authorized under the AIFMD. In
order to market to investors domiciled or with a registered office in the EEA, non-EEA AIFMs must market AIFs in
accordance with the applicable national private placement regimes of the EEA member states in which they wish to
market and comply with a sub-set of requirements under the AIFMD (which are much more limited in scope than
those applicable to AIFMs that are established in the EEA). These requirements are: (i) “point-of-sale” disclosures
(as to which, please see Annex D), (ii) ongoing investor disclosures required pursuant to Articles 23(4) and (5) of the
AIFMD (as to which, please see below), (iii) provision of information relating to the Property Share Investment
29Trust’s investments and its assets under management to the regulators of any EEA Member State into which Units in
the Property Share Investment Trust are actively marketed, and (iv) the “asset-stripping” rules (in the event that the
Property Share Investment Trust acquires control of an EEA based portfolio company).
The information in respect of the Property Share Investment Trust required to be disclosed pursuant to Articles 23(4)
and (5) of the AIFMD will be made available to each Unitholder, as follows: (a) the percentage of the Property Share
Investment Trust’s assets which are subject to special arrangements arising from their illiquid nature will be notified
to the Unitholders; (b) any new arrangements for managing the liquidity of the Property Share Investment Trust will
be provided without undue delay in a disclosure notice delivered to each Unitholder; (c) the current risk profile of the
Property Share Investment Trust and the risk management systems employed by the Investment Manager to manage
those risks may be provided in each annual report of the Property Share Investment Trust; (d) any changes to the
maximum level of leverage which the Investment Manager may employ on behalf of the Property Share Investment
Trust, as well as any right of the reuse of collateral or any guarantee granted under the leveraging arrangement, will
be provided without undue delay in a disclosure notice delivered to each Unitholder; and (e) the total amount of
leverage employed by the Property Share Investment Trust may be provided in each annual report of the Property
Share Investment Trust.
In addition, it is possible that some EEA member states will elect in the future to restrict or prohibit the marketing of
non-EEA AIFs to investors based in those jurisdictions. Any such restrictions or prohibitions may make it more
difficult for the Property Share Investment Trust to raise its targeted amount of commitments.
In light of the foregoing, the AIFMD could have an adverse effect on the Investment Manager or the Property Share
Investment Trust by, among other things, increasing the regulatory burden and costs of doing business in the EEA
members states, imposing extensive disclosure obligations on companies located in EEA member states, if any, in
which the Property Share Investment Trust invests, and potentially disadvantaging the Property Share Investment
Trust as an investor in portfolio companies located in EEA member states as compared to competitors (e.g., those not
in the alternative investment space) that may not be in scope of the AIFMD. The European Securities and Markets
Authority (“ESMA”) has recently also consulted on the possible extension of the passport for marketing and managing
under AIFMD to non-EEA based Investment Managers (the marketing and managing passports under AIFMD are
currently only available to certain types of EEA based Investment Managers).
ESMA provided advice to the European Commission in July 2015 and July 2016 on whether, amongst other things,
the passporting regime should be extended to the management and/or marketing of AIFs by non-EEA AIFMs. The
European Commission is currently considering whether the passport should be extended. It is currently not clear what
the impact would be for the Investment Manager or the Property Share Investment Trust of any decision by the
European Commission to extend the passporting regime. If the AIFMD national private placement regimes (where
implemented) continue to exist in parallel with an extension of the passporting regime, then the Investment Manager
may continue to market under AIFMD national private placement regimes or choose to “opt-in” to rely on the
passporting regime (which would likely mean an increase in regulatory and compliance costs to comply with the
conditions of the passporting regime). If the AIFMD national private placement regimes are removed, then the
Investment Manager would likely need to “opt-in” to the passporting regime for any AIFMD marketing of the
Property Share Investment Trust (which would likely mean an increase in regulatory and compliance costs for the
Property Share Investment Trust).
Following the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union and subject to compliance with the UK AIFMR, AIFMs
may market AIFs to professional investors who are domiciled or have a registered office within the UK pursuant to
the UK national private placement regime. The UK AIFMR currently imposes compliance obligations that are broadly
similar to those detailed in the above paragraphs in connection with a non-EEA AIFM marketing an AIF pursuant to
the national private placement regimes of certain EEA member states. If within scope of the UK AIFMR, these
compliance obligations on an AIFM include, among other things, rules relating to the remuneration of certain
personnel, minimum regulatory capital requirements, restrictions on use of leverage, restrictions on early distributions
(“asset stripping” rules), the appointment of a depositary, disclosure and reporting requirements to both investors and
home state regulators, and independent valuation of the assets of an AIF. Where information is provided in response
to an own-initiative request by a prospective UK investor, such investor will not benefit from any protections or rights
under the UK AIFMR in respect of any resulting subscription for limited partner interests.

Further, the board of the Investment Manager has adopted the following general principles related to valuation of assets of the
Schemes of the Property Share Investment Trust by way of its resolution dated May 5, 2025.
General principles of valuation of assets of the Schemes of the Trust
The purpose of the valuation exercise is to estimate the market value of the respective assets of the Schemes of the Trust.
Market value of real estate assets can be estimated using different approaches and methodologies.
1. Income Approach: Under this valuation approach, the income generating potential of the real estate asset is estimated
while opining on its market value. This approach is typically adopted for real properties that are income-generating
(completed and operational with multiple tenancies, multiple strata units that can be sold with phased/milestone-based
revenue collections, among others). For income-generating properties, with single/multiple tenancies, the discounted
cash flow entailing term and reversion method is most commonly adopted.
2. Market Approach: Under this valuation approach, the price that an asset could fetch in an open market is estimated.
This approach is typically adopted for homogeneous assets in their micro-market and are typically traded on a unit
basis. The most commonly adopted valuation method under this valuation approach is the Comparable Transaction /
Listed Instances Method, also commonly known as the Direct Comparison or the Comparable Sales/ Quoted Instances
Method.
3. Cost Approach: Under this valuation approach, the cost required to create an asset of similar or equal utility is
estimated. This valuation approach is typically adopted for real estate assets that can be clearly broken down into
constituent elements, namely land and built structures. The most commonly adopted valuation method under this
valuation approach is the Physical Method, also commonly known as Land and Building Method, which typically
entails estimation of the underlying land value (while normally adopting the Market Approach) and the built structures
(while adopting the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method) separately.
The market practice for commercial real estate assets involves contracting tenants / occupiers in the form of pre-commitments
at sub-market rent to increase attractiveness of the property to prospective tenants - typically extended to anchor tenants.
Additionally, there are instances of tenants paying above-market rent for certain properties as well (primarily owing to market
conditions at the time of contracting the lease). In order to arrive at a unit value for these tenancies, the Valuer shall consider
the impact of such sub/above market rents on the opinion on market value of the assets of the Schemes of the Property Share
Investment Trust.

valuation report annexed with the key information of the Schemes issued by the Trust. Any valuation report included as part
of the key information of the Schemes issued by the Property Share Investment Trust is based on certain projections and

Introduction
India's office market has witnessed significant growth over the past two and half decades, establishing itself as a prominent
player in the global commercial real estate industry. The top seven markets* in India have experienced a tremendous surge in
Grade A office stock, growing nearly 14.3 times, from ~59.5 mn sq ft in 2004 to around 853.7 mn sq ft as of December 2024.
The rise of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in the early 2000s played a pivotal role in attracting major
multinational companies to set up operations in the country, subsequently kickstarting the transformation of the office market.
What was once a landscape of unorganised standalone buildings has now evolved into Grade A commercial developments
owned by reputed developers and institutional investors.
Today, India's office market presents a wide array of opportunities for companies seeking to expand their operations. With its
robust economy, abundant cost-effective talent pool, and favourable business environment, India has become an attractive
destination for both domestic and international companies looking to establish their presence in the country.
*Top 7 cities include Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR (Delhi City, Gurugram and Noida), Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai (included Mumbai City, Navi Mumbai
and Thane) and Pune.
Trends in Supply, Net Absorption and Vacancy
The office market in India has shown considerable vibrancy over the past few years, setting new benchmarks in 2019. Net
absorption across the top seven cities in India grew at a robust 52% year-on-year, reaching a historic high of ~48.3 mn sq ft.
At the same time, new completions grew at 49% year-on-year, crossing the 50 mn sq ft mark. The market was expected to
continue its upward trajectory in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent containment measures brought
about unprecedented challenges for the office sector in 2020. On a year-on-year basis, net absorption, and new completions in
2020 dipped by 51% and 32% respectively.
In 2021, net absorption witnessed a marginal uptick, driven by an impressive Q4 leasing performance. The following year,
India’s office market made a full recovery as net absorption surpassed the four-year pre-pandemic average (2016-2019). 2023
was another historic year for India’s office market as net absorption in India’s top seven markets breached the 40 mn sq ft mark
and stood at ~42.0 mn sq ft. This not only marked a new post-COVID milestone but also the second highest annual absorption,
trailing only the levels recorded in 2019. The resilient expansion-driven occupier activity is a testament to the country’s quality
talent pool and competitive costs.
India office market has built on the gains through the 2022-23 period as it remains the focal point of headcount addition and
RE growth for global occupiers. It was reiterated by the net absorption for 2024 hitting historic peak levels of 49.95 mn sq ft.
Over the next three years, we anticipate that the market activity of 2024 will become the new norm, with net absorption through
2025-2027 expected to be higher for each year compared to 2024.

Trends in Gross Leasing Activity
Gross leasing in India’s top seven markets exceeded the 60 mn sq ft milestone for the very first time in 2023, reaching an
impressive 62.98 mn sq ft, a significant 26.4% y-o-y increase. In a year marked by global headwinds, these achievements were
a testament to the market’s strong underlying fundamentals and growth prospects. Leasing activity in India continues to see a
sustained period of intense activity, underpinned by demand from both global and domestic occupiers. The annual gross leasing
of 77.2 mn sq ft across the top seven cities is the best-ever for the India office market, outshining the previous peak recorded
in 2023 by a significant 22.6% y-o-y.

SM REIT Market Opportunity in India Office Sector
Around 40.0% of the overall Grade A office stock in the top seven cities of India, currently valued at ~USD 44 billion (~INR
3,800 billion) is SM REIT-worthy. This illuminates the promise and potential of this sector’s burgeoning future. Markets like
Mumbai and Delhi NCR offer the biggest opportunities for asset acquisition under the SM REIT umbrella, given the
proliferation of smaller and mid-sized projects. Even the tech markets of Bengaluru and Hyderabad offer sizeable growth
opportunities where well-leased but mid-sized assets are potential investment opportunities under SM REITs.

SM REITs are expected to pave the way for a thriving REITs market in India. The regulatory aspects will allow investors to
approach this segment with greater confidence, given higher levels of disclosures and accountability. Additionally,
technological advancements, improved transparency, smaller capital outlay requirements and growing investor interest for
participation in a rapidly appreciating real estate market are expected to drive growth. There are likely to be evolving
compliances and regulatory oversight challenges that the industry is expected to face as the regulations mature and
implementation progresses forward. Despite these teething issues, this market is poised to grow and potentially surpass USD
5.0 billion (~INR 430 billion) of AUM by 2030. The REIT market in India grew from around USD 3.6 bn (~INR 310 bn) in
2019 to USD 15.6 bn (~INR 1,350 bn) in 2024 in Gross Asset Value. As the sector evolves on the regulatory framework
backbone, we expect the SM REIT market to experience even faster growth.

B. Tax provisions applicable to the unitholders of the Scheme of the Trust
3. Income arising from Scheme of the Trust
As per provisions of section 115UA (1) of the ITA, any income distributed by the Scheme of the Trust is taxable in
the hands of the unitholders in the same manner and proportion as the underlying income stream received by or
accrued to the Scheme of the Trust
We have discussed below the taxability of the income in the hands of unitholders:
Residential status of unitholders Nature of income Tax Rates
Resident unitholders Interest income At applicable rates^
Qualified dividend income Tax exempt (Refer Note below)
Disqualified dividend income At applicable rates^ (Refer Note below).
Any other income taxable in the hands Tax exempt
of the Scheme of the Trust
Any distributions other than the above Taxable once such distributions exceed
(specified sum as per section 56(2)(xii) the issue price of unit#
of the ITA)
Non-resident unitholders Interest income 5%*^
Qualified dividend income Tax exempt (Refer Note below)
Disqualified dividend income At applicable rates^@
(Refer Note below)
Any other income taxable in the hands Tax exempt
of Scheme of the Trust
Any distributions other than the above Taxable once such distributions exceed
(specified sum as per section 56(2)(xii) the issue price of unit#
of the ITA)
* Excluding applicable surcharge and cess
^ The income shall be subject to deduction of tax at source (for details see paragraph 7 below)
# Any amount distributed by us to a unitholder which is not in the nature of dividends or interest, or any other income shall be reduced from
the cost of acquisition of such unitholder, till such time that the aggregate of such distributions does not exceed the original issue price of
our units. Distributions in excess of the original issue price of our units shall be taxed in the hands of the unitholder at applicable tax rate
per section 56(2)(xii) of the ITA, i.e., Specified sum received by a unitholder from a Business Trust/Scheme of the trust shall be charged to
tax as:
A (-) B (-) C;
A = Aggregate of sum distributed by the Business Trust/Scheme of the trust other than interest, dividend, rental and exempt income to any
investor on every unit
B = Issue price of a unit of the Business Trust/Scheme of the trust
C = Amount charged to tax under these provisions in earlier years
Further, specified sum shall be deemed to be zero, if sum of B and C is greater than A
@ Under the provisions of section 90(2) of the ITA, non-resident unitholders may seek to avail beneficial provisions under the applicable Double
Taxation Avoidance Agreement (‘DTAA’) that India may have entered into with their respective country of residence
Note: As per section 10(23FD) of ITA, taxability of income in the nature of dividend distributed by Scheme of the Trust to unitholders is dependent
on the taxation regime adopted by the SPV(s), which distributes the dividend to Scheme of the Trust. If the SPV(s) has not opted for a concessional
corporate tax rate under section 115BAA of the ITA (‘Qualifying SPV’), dividend received from such Qualifying SPV (‘Qualified Dividend’) and
distributed by Scheme of the Trust is exempt in the hands of the unitholders. Any dividend other than Qualified Dividend distributed by Scheme of
the Trust (‘Disqualified Dividend’) is taxable in the hands of the unitholders.

the Designated Stock Exchange. If sufficient funds are available in the ASBA Account, the SCSB will block an
amount equivalent to the Bid Amount mentioned in the ASBA Form and will enter each Bid option into the electronic

this. Accordingly, Bidders should carefully fill in their depository account details in the Bid cum Application Form.

on request, the required Demographic Details as available in their records.
Bids with no corresponding record available with the Depositories matching the three parameters (namely, Bidders PAN (in

Payment mechanism for ASBA Bidders
The ASBA Bidders will specify the ASBA Account in the Bid cum Application Form and the SCSB will block an amount
equivalent to the Bid Amount in the ASBA Account so specified. The SCSB will keep the Bid Amount in the relevant ASBA
Account blocked until finalization of the Basis of Allotment and consequent transfer of the Bid Amount to the Public Issue
Account, or until withdrawal/ failure of the Offer or until rejection of the Bid, as the case may be.

the last Working Day of the Bidding, which may lead to some Bids received on the last Working Day, which may
lead to some Bids received on the last Working Day not being uploaded due to lack of sufficient uploading time. Such

Designated Intermediaries will not accept incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms.

Bidders to note that the following example is solely for illustrative purposes and is not specific to the Issue.
Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assume a price band of ₹20 to ₹24 per unit, issue size of 3,000
units and receipt of five bids from Bidders, details of which are shown in the table below. The illustrative book given below
shows the demand for the units of the issuer real estate investment trust at various prices and is collated from bids received
from various investors.
Bid Quantity Bid Price (₹) Cumulative Quantity Subscription
500 24 500 16.70%
1,000 23 1,500 50.00%

2,000 21 5,000 166.70%
2,500 20 7,500 250.00%
The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is able to issue the desired
number of units is the price at which the book cuts off, i.e, ₹22.00 in the above example. The issuer, in consultation with the
book running lead manager, will finalise the issue price at or below such Cut-off price, i.e., at or below ₹22.00. All bids at or
