A REIT earns Rs 50 crore of net distributable cash flows (NDCF) at the REIT level in a year. SEBI rules require at least 90% of NDCF to be distributed to unitholders. What is the minimum amount the REIT must distribute?

The minimum distribution is Rs 45 crore, being 90% of Rs 50 crore NDCF, as the REIT must distribute at least 90% of its net distributable cash flows. Rs 5 crore is only the maximum retainable portion, and 80% would breach the requirement.

  1. ARs 40.0 crore
  2. BRs 45.0 croreCorrect
  3. CRs 5.0 crore
  4. DRs 47.5 crore

Explanation

Minimum distribution = 90% x Rs 50 crore = Rs 45 crore. Rs 5 crore is the maximum that can be retained (the 10% balance), not the distribution. Rs 40 crore uses 80%, which is wrong.
