Introduction
A Software/IT company had a land parcel at SEZ(Special Economic Zone) with specific benefits of consumption of FSI (Floor Space Index) within a speculated course of time.
The Situation
- The company has consumed very less FSI in comparison to the potential/ benefits of FSI approved by SEZ.
- Timelines for consuming the benefits of FSI approved by SEZ have lapsed.
- There are many other land parcels available at SEZ with the benefits of FSI.
- Allotted land should be used for Software/IT exports only.
- Developed Valuation of a Property cannot be rented/sold if not developed allotment of land stands canceled by SEZ.
The Burning Question
How do we arrive at the value of existing developed property (Land & Building)?
Answers we wrote down
After several discussions held internally, we managed to conduct the exercise & provide the value of the assets. We also ensured that the assets are correctly valued. Our response to the question that arose was as follows:
- We have arrived at the value of land based on FSI-based valuation considering total available/potential FSI over its less lapsed FSI area which gives us an exact value of land with its consumed FSI.
- The value of the building was arrived at by cost approach as developed property cannot be rented/sold.
