The concept of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) has been seen across the world since a lot of years. However, it is a new concept in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) recently framed the SEBI (REITs) Regulations, 2014 (REIT Regulations) for the regulation of REITs in India.

REITs basically pool money from investors and invest them in income-generating assets offering investors a way to diversify their portfolios by investing in property. This gives an opportunity to those people to invest in the real estate who cannot otherwise afford to invest in the expensive real estate sector. REITs will be registered and listed on the stock exchange. The units issued in return of investor's investment (i.e. unit holders) will be trade on the stock exchange like securities.
