Buy back schemes are a good option for end users as well as for investors, as they remain assured of the return on investment after the lock-in period. Besides, if investors find that the prevailing market price at the time of exit is much higher than that promised by the developer, they can also sell the property in the open market.
As the real estate sector is currently without a regulator, buyers must check the genuineness of such offers before investing.The reliability of buy-back schemes remains the key concern. Lack of regulation often allows unscrupulous players to enter the market with piles of unrealistic promises, which sometimes remain only on paper.

I think you should have huge stash of money with you and can afford to look for legal help, stay away from such offers of assured return projects. Even if you still wish to put your money in such other schemes, do calculate the net profit that you will get after all the expenses and taxes on the assured returns or look for a residential project offering assured return with buy-back guarantee. :)
Hey guys first of all you would find that the developer is offering you 12 per cent assured returns at Rs 6,250 per sq ft for 2 years, while in the same project a non-assured return unit is available for Rs 5,000 per sq ft. So, the developer has taken an upfront Rs 1,250 per sq ft extra for the same property. Ideally, this extra money which is paid by you is given back to you over the next two years. So I think before you do investment you should check everything properly.
