Q: Has anybody got the latest update on the project. I don't think the Project is in good state. Everytime I visited the site, new story has been narated to me by the officials for the delays and the new schdule. I think it is time that the owners should have a word with the DB officials. As it seems we all owners have taken things for granted. No doubt today the DB Relaty share price would go down, on fridays news of Etisalte want to proceed with legal action aganist Swan Telecome. Why we owners has to take all these issue on our property, have we thought these things at the time of purchase. I strongly suggest we should come together and meet the officials with deadlines. If we don't do this, I don't think project will complete even by 2015.

Q: What happens when you start staying in a flat for which the builder has not yet got the Occupancy certificate ?

My replies to this discussion
There may be certain legal issues. For ex- it may be revealed that the land or some portion of the land in which the project is built does not belong to the owner/builder. Then the actual land owner may file a case against this builder and you may lose the land on which your apartment is there. It is builder's duty to get you OC from the concerned dept and give it to flat owners. Only after this buyers should take possession.There may be certain legal issues.

My comments to replies
Right Jerome!!!! OC is an essential legal document that has to be obtained by the builder once the construction is complete. This ensures that the building has been constructed in a completely legal way adhering to the approved plan.
It's true and i mostly seen that buyers ignore it. Because, it doesn't require during property registration. As a result, buyers sometimes believe that this document is pointless. However, without a proper OC, an apartment owner may sometimes be relieve of essential amenities such as electricity and water. You may also face a threat of eviction if you don't possess an OC.

Hi Devika and Sankalp, I am working in a real estate company but don't want to disclose the company name here. I just wanted to know the key requirements for a builder to obtain Occupancy Certificate?
Ur most welcome Abhijit....... Key requirements for obtaining an OC: 1) A builder has to built as per the sanctioned plan including plinth, setback, height, FAR. 2) Facilities like club house, party hall, etc. need to be in the sanctioned plan. 3) Only, 5% difference in building is allowed, 4) They will have to get the approval from Fire Department, 5) Electrical Inspectorate Certificate, including lifts, waste management area and on-site composting facility is also required at the same, 6) Rain water harvesting , 7) Airports Authority clearance (if within the range of an airport), 8) Sewage Treatment Plant should be certified by the Pollution Control Board, 9) A builder cannot make external changes in his unit without the authorization from the local civic body, 10) Footpath facing the building should be in good condition, 11) Sufficient safety measures should be provided for basement car parking,
18th August 2015
Well Abhijit, Usually, the builder provides the OC once the building is ready for occupying. A developer must send an application along with other documents such as building plan, commencement certificate, completion certificate and photographs of the completed building, for obtaining the OC to the local civic body within 30 days of completing the construction.

Q: 100 Above Neptune project they launch 1 and 1/2 year before but still work is not sarted, Is this project is going to happen or not?100 above Bhandup Neptune project when the work will be starting?

My comments to replies
Hi all, His projects are delayed since long time. There is also severe water shortage in the project. Those who are looking for investment can go for some other similar projects in same locality. Here, i am giving you some good similar project details:- HDIL Dheeraj Dreams by HDIL offers 1/2/3 BHK from 625-950 sq-ft, price- 87.50L to 1.33Cr , possession- ready to move property available in resale option. Nirmal Olympia Heights by Nirmal Lifestyle offers 1/2/3 BHK from 666-1170 sq-ft, price-83.25L to 1.46Cr , possession by December-2017.
@Rajesh, Which projects are you talking about. I don't think it's SRA project. If you are talking about Neptune 100 above then certainly not otherwise they must mentioned the name as it is required for approvals and registration process. Project is delayed and possession of apartments is likely to take place now by Dec 2016.

@Deepankar, I visited Nirmal Lifestyle & Raunak City projects last month. Raunak City looks promising, the rate is reasonable if not cheaper and location seems to be in a city environment .. more hustle n bustle and is kinda located in main kalyan which is beneficial for me as i will be renting the flat as compared to Nirmal Lifestyle which is at Ambivali actually although they claim that a flyover will be built which will reduce the distance to Kalyan Station to 2.5 kms. Renting property here seems a distant dream, the rate quoted at Nirmal lifestyle was 6000/- with a spot offer booking for 5600/-

Hi, I would like to know your opinion about investing in Kalyan (West). The projects which I am looking for are Raunak City, Rutu Riverside. Both these projects are like mini townships and away from Railway station and old Kalyan. Can you please give your valuable feed back on these projects and pros and cons in investing in mini townships?? Is it worth investing in such mini township projects or other projects like Vasant Valley, Triveni or projects of 2 to 3 buildings?
Hi Lalit, As per my knowledge, in this area builders r quoting around 6000-7000 depending upon the location in khadakpada & it's distance from Kalyan station is around 4-5 km & charges to reach station is around 80 rs, for sharing rickshaw in evening queue of around 100- 150 passenger. Considering above factor it's not advisable to invest in that area even that locality is posh. I think it's better to invest in thane GB Road near Hiranandi Medows.....Last time I visited Acme project they agreed for 8300 psf & I can assure you their location, connectivity & construction quality & technology much superior than all kalyan projects, Even Loading is quiet less.

Q: Shocked to receive a demand of Rs.5 Lakhs (Approx) towards VAT and Service Tax. This includes interest of Rs.1.5 Lakhs (Approx) for delayed payment of VAT. Questions; 1) How the builders have calculated the demand of VAT & Service Tax? 2) Have the Input Credits available to the builder for the materials bought by them with VAT and used in the construction of the building been set off against the demand of VAT? 3) Delay in giving the possession of the flats by the builder should not penalize the owners on account of interest and penalties? 4) Delay in giving the possession of the flats by the builders is already causing lot of interest burden on the owners who have taken the loans. Builders should be responsible for compensation of the interest loss and consequential losses arising out of delayed possession. -- T. L. Jain, Flat No.1403, "B" Wing.

Hi Ravi, there is no legal basis upon which a builder can charge so called transfer charges as he has no role to play in the transfer of a flat from a flat owner to someone else. Also, the selling price includes everything and a builder/owner can not charge for the parking space. It has to be given with the flat.

Q: its totally blunder project, still higher floor construction is going, while we booked it was said that possession will be in 2010, and all slums will be cleared but i don t think it will happen till 2016..2017. it is covered from all sides by slums and sra building is just 8 feet adjacent to evershine cosmic. sra building people will be viewer for swimming pool users. hope all slums will clear, as its very difficult to get through entrance which is covered by all slum tapori over there, its really difficult to stay there till slums are cleared. we have decided to give the flat on rent whenever we get the possession.

Q: How was the real estate market in Mumbai in Quarter April-June 2013?

My comments to replies
The number of residential units launched in Mumbai in the quarter April-June 2013, shows an increase of almost 50% compared to last quarter. One major contributor to this is a large township project in Panvel. Of the 11,000 units launched this quarter, 68% cater to the mid-end segment while 31% cater to higher end segment. No units in the affordable segment were launched this quarter.
Approximately 38% launches were concentrated in Navi Mumbai while 22% were in western suburbs. The rental values of properties remained stable in this quarter with stable demand for rental housing.
1st August 2013
The commercial office sector saw a net absorption of approximately 1.62 million sq-ft in this quarter, which is twice of that of previous quarter. Take-ups were majorly in Thane-Belapur Road (42%), Malad/Goregaon (16%), Andheri (15%) and Thane (15%). The growth was driven by pharmaceuticals, IT/ITeS and media sectors.

Q: What is the status of the project? It was suppose to get to commence its services in September this year?
My comments to replies
India's first monorail, which was supposed to commence its services in September this year, is facing hiccups. This may push its date of commencing by few months. The monorail is facing roadblock in relation with traffic dispersal system.
The Mumbai monorail is a monorail project in India as a part of its expansion of public transport system. Earlier monorail projects were closed in 1920s. This is the first monorail project in the country since then. The project is implemented by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in collaboration with a consortium of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Scomi Engineering, a Malaysian infrastructure firm

Q: Is it a smart idea to invest in Mumbai western stretch?
My comments to replies
When it comes to long term investing prospects in a city, major highways are the best bet as they provide good connectivity to various localities within the city and areas in other cities. Due to this connectivity, the infrastructure of a particular area grows and with growth in infrastructure, the growth in demand for that area grows. Consequentially, prices in the locality too appreciate.
All these factors put the western suburbs beyond the affordable band. Typical property values in these suburbs range between Rs. 20,000 – 45,000 per sq.ft. For example, property value in Andheri West is between Rs. 20,100 - 25,050 per sq.ft. It is between Rs. 39,600 – 42,400 per sq.ft in Bandra West. Though these values are lesser than those of South Mumbai (approx Rs. 55,000 – 70,000 per sq.ft), they are still high from a common man's perspective.

There are many contemporary housing complexes in Govandi (South). Some are the Mumbai Port Trust Colony, Navadurga Apartments, Orchid Residency and Patwardhan Colony. There are also several private builders who have ongoing projects here. Govandi (North) has colonies such as Teacher's Colony, New Deonar Municipal Colony, Lumbini Baug, Kamla Raman Nagar and Shivaji Nagar. There are also few MHADA transit tenements here.
Govandi (South) has an excellent infrastructure. It is less than 3 km from the Sion-Trombay Highway which connects it to other localities of Mumbai. Govandi (North) has a BEST bus depot. Govandi is also just about 3.6 km from National Highway 3 (NH 3) that passes through Chembur. The Govandi railway station lies on the harbour-line of Mumbai suburban railway. The nearest metro station would be the proposed Mankhurd station.

How is the rent of properties in Govandi?
Govandi has seen a steady increase in property prices in the last quarter. The average price per sq-ft for a multistorey apartment went up from Rs. 13,300 to 13,500 in the last quarter. While apartments saw a steady rise in property rates, independent houses have shown little growth in demand over the last few quarters. This shows that Govandi sees more demand for apartments than independent houses.

Q: What is the reason for the falling nature of the housing industry?

My comments to replies
As the rupee has depreciated, the real estate developers should reduce the property price but they refuse to reduce the property price. Why so?
Industry experts say that there may be a sharp correction by March owing to market sentiment. However, most developers are refusing to offer discounts fearing a market rout. Dropping real estate prices will create panic and will lead to further decline in prices. With developers refusing to provide price discounts, prospective buyers are losing interest. This has created further market slump. There are also very few people who are willing to buy property from the point of investment. Most potential customers are found to be actual users.

Q: I read some where that the Mumbai High Court has implemented new rule for considering redevelopment. What is the rule?

My comments to replies
The Bombay High Court has given an important ruling that only the decision of the majority members of a housing society must be taken into account while considering redevelopment. It said that the minority percent of the non-cooperating members cannot halt a redevelopment project.
The ruling came in light of the opposition a mega-redevelopment project faced in Vile Parle. About 27 families were opposing the plans of redevelopment of the flats. The court directed that this found to be a minority and could be evicted if necessary. It said that the decision taken by the majority percent of the members of the housing society will be final and binding on the non-cooperating members.

Will the redevelopment of old flats affect the Mumbai real estate?
Redevelopment of flats means a new construction of the existing flats. The redeveloped flats also involve new amenities and some shop spaces. This boosts up the value of the properties, capital value of the locality and contributes to the overall price appreciation of a total area. With capital values in Vile Parle around Rs. 23,850 per sq.ft, it can be expected to go up in the future as an effect of redevelopment.

True, outer fringes of Mumbai lacking in infrastructural development. Before the developers comes up with new big projects, they should come up with good roads and flyovers to cut down th traffic. These are very congested areas....Hence luxury buyers are not coming in to invest in here.
I think they are located near about 60 to 100 km from Mumbai. Although they say that they are registered brisk sales of smaller flats in places like Boisar, Virar, Panvel, Kalyan, Shahpur, Ambivali and Karjat.

My comments to replies
The year 2013 has been all about clearing the existing inventory for developers in Mumbai. The city has seen a fall of new project launches this year. The year has been challenging to both developers and buyers.
The current slow market sentiment is expected to continue for a short to medium term, the year 2014 is expected to see more investment opportunities in Mumbai.
26th December 2013

Developers are more focused on clearing inventory this year due to the subdued market sentiment, which has been the result of global and domestic economic, slowdown. The positive side of this market sentiment is that it has kept the prices stable and more realistic as the demand is low. Though the market sentiment is subdued, Mumbai will see a number of projects launches next year.
Apart from these scheduled project launches, the Central government as well as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are taking steps to bring stability to the market. This is expected to help improve customer sentiments. The down market in 2013 also brought some stability in property prices in several areas. Stable prices coupled with an array of new launches will help many buyers negotiate prices and make informed decisions in 2014.
26th December 2013

Will it be a good idea to buy a property at this point of time? Need experts advice.
Aiding new project launches will be the rational prices of projects. The situation of oversupply and low demand has made Mumbai's real estate market a buyer's market at the present moment. With a good number of ready-to-move-in projects coming up in 2014, buyers will be in a position to assess and select properties to invest. They will also be in a position to negotiate good deals

Hi Mahal, You have not specified whether are you looking property for rent or outright purchase.
Hey Guys, Since the locking period is already over ie it has exceeded over 3 year time frame, what I suggest is that approach the builder and ask him when finally he is going to complete the project or else ask him to repay the deposit amount. In case if he still resists, then take up the matter with consumer grievance cell/ court.

Arrange for a meeting along with the builder and get the registration done at sub-registrars office.Hi Sachin, It is a serious offence by not registering the property since you have booked the flat in 2011.

Namaste Mr Das, Came to know that you are looking to invest in a property within a budget 30-35 lakhs in Maharashtra. Are you looking for 1, 2 or 3 BHK flats since you have not disclosed about your specifications.Namaste Mr Das, Came to know that you are looking to invest in a property within a budget 30-35 lakhs in Maharashtra.

No doubt that Pune is one of the best locality to invest in a property apart from Mumbai due to strategic location, connectivity, weather and presence of several IT and ITES giants. Since you are looking for flats around 40 lakhs budget, you may not get it in heart of the city but you will find it in the suburbs. The rates for the flats also differ from locality to locality and from builder to builder.No doubt that Pune is one of the best locality to invest in a property apart from Mumbai due to strategic location, connectivity, weather and presence of several IT and ITES giants.

Right Ketal, If possible, you can even visit a sample flat constructed by the builder. If the flat is furnished, check out the quality of the paint, carpeting and cabinetry. Check the size of the room and their placements. Collect information about all the facilities and amenities offered by the builder. Also, keep an eye on the hidden charges.

Hi Abhijit, Finally, something to cheer about for the Mumbaikars as the Govt has sanctioned mega infrastructure project worth Rs. 66,000 crores. " Cheers". The long wait is over finally as MMRDA is coming up with good transport systems like metro rail, flyovers, monorail etc.
Oh!!! Mumbai gets a breather as far the transport is concerned. Heard that they are shortly going to commence the operation of monorail between Chembur and Wadala. This helps me saving time in reaching the office as presently it takes over 1 hour for me to reach my workplace to cover a distance of 8 kms.

Q: Heard that Navi Mumbai is emerging as one of the fast investment destination due to its good infrastructure.
My comments to replies
Hi Kishore, You heard it right !!!. Navi Mumbai is turning out to be the hot investment destination in recent times due to many residential and commercial developments taking place and providing better infrastructure. People who cannot afford a roof over their head in Mumbai can very well afford a shelter in Navi Mumbai as the property rates are affordable and one has plenty of options to choose. Experts believe that as far as infrastructure is concerned, Navi Mumbai has developed fast over the years. It has the advantage of being well connected to Mumbai, Goa, Pune and other cities via Expressway.
Hello Sandeep, Thanks to the improving social infrastructure, Navi Mumbai, which was first emerging as a second-homes destination, is now seen as a first-home destination. Navi Mumbai has gradually transformed itself to garner the interest of end users. There are several shopping malls, colleges and hospitals that have come up in the area.

Hi Sadiq, Came to know that there are some vacant plots situated in Ambooj wadi in Malwani in Malad west which are being sold illegally. What I suggest is that visit the nearest BMC office and find out the details whether the vacant plots are legal or illegal.
Hello Rakshit, If the plots are registered with BMC then it can be sold as it is legal binding. On the other hand if the plots are not registered with BMC, then it becomes illegal to possess such flats because there are chances of litigation issues arising in future.

Hi Lalit, But since November and December are the most active months for real estate transactions in the city because the government introduces the new ready reckoner rate from January and people tend to close transactions during this period. If we go by the data then it’s a clear sign that the market is hitting a rock bottom and prices need to correct by another 10 per cent or so.”Hi Lalit, But since November and December are the most active months for real estate transactions in the city because the government introduces the new ready reckoner rate from January and people tend to close transactions during this period.

My replies to this discussion
Hmmm. I agree with this point. The locality boasts of all amenities required by an end-user such as hospitals, schools, restaurants and entertainment zones. Hence, the locality continues to rule the roost for rental accommodation as well. This is also indicated by a five per cent increase in the rental values in the last quarter.Hmmm.

My comments to replies
Hi all, i am planning to buy a 2BHK flats in Orchid Ozone but i heard some chemical issue in the ground or structure of db ozone that makes the building very weak. May be thats the reason why these are available at such lower rates compared to others in the same area. Is the work stopped? What is the current completion status of the project?
Seeing the present scenario it seems to me that possession should happen in 3 years I guess for all towers. Rates are not so low as we have to compare with Mira Road and not Dahisar rates.

If the board passes the resolution, then it will be forwarded to the state government as it would require change in the development control rules."Hi, Looks like it will take some time to implement the same.

Hi Abhishke, This project is on the corner-junction of EE Highway & Mankhurd by-pass near Cheddha Nagar. Rate should be about 11000/sq-ft or so...now the construction work is in full pace - if you are looking in Eastern suburbs - this project could be considered.
10th June 2014
Okey Abhishke, The loading is fine.. all builders are looting public with this level of loading. This level is obviously unjustified, however it is a prevalent practice. The builder also charges development charges on amenities, so in a way, he is double charging you...

Hi Subash, With regard to your issues I think you need to take the issue with court and settle the matter. You can also solve the matter amicably with the builder if he is willing to.

The court will take legal action against such builders.Hi Subash, With regard to your issues I think you need to take the issue with court and settle the matter.

Q: Looks like property rates in Khar west and Dahisar west are on a roll in recent times.

My comments to replies
Hi Padma, Khar west and Dahisar west, both, enjoy proximity to areas such as Andheri, Borivali and Malad through the Western Express Highway. Areas such as Bandra, Santacruz, Worli and Parel, are closer to Khar west. "Dahisar is situated at a distance of 6 kms from Ghodbunder Road, which connects it to Thane
Hey Lalit, The affluent classes look for properties in Khar west whereas, people who cannot afford properties in premium areas such as Khar, Bandra, Santacruz, move towards Dahisar west for properties at lesser values. "Since both these localities offer properties in crores, investors usually stay away from investing in these localities. Rather than investing a huge sum of money and blocking it, they prefer to invest in affordable properties. In terms of social infrastructure, Khar west and Dahisar west, both, are well-fabricated. "There are several reputed schools, colleges, banks, hospitals and retail options in these localities.

Dear Shantanu, Looking at the current scenario Panvel is the new developing hub for potential investors as well as promoters. Panvel is emerging as one of the best localities to buy/invest in a property in Navi Mumbai with prices of the properties soaring in recent times due to many commercial and infrastructural developments taking place in this locality. Lying at corridor of Mumbai-Pune Expressway is also one of the major factors for the boom in the real estate sector.

Hats Off to Mumbai police for doing such wonderful act. Kudos.

Q: How much does the 1 BHK flat cost in NRDL Viviana? Planning for investment purpose. Any idea anybody?

My comments to replies
Hi Padma, I spoke to one of the sales executive and he told me that this project was launched in the year Nov 2013 and most likely the possession will be around Dec 2016. I think this is a good project to invest as the location is excellent with sublime climatic conditions. One can rightly expect a good appreciation value in future since the demand is more for flats, row houses and cottages in this place.
Hi Lalit, As far the transport and connectivity is concerned the project is well connected by road and rail modes of transport. The project is located in the stretch between Pune-Mumbai Expressway. Buses, cabs and taxis are also available from this place. Several long distance trains also do have a brief halt at Neral station which is near to NRDL Viviana. Local EMU's also run from Karjat to Neral station.

Q: Hey, did you come across that more than 900 ready to occupy houses are lying vacant for almost a year. Very Sad!!!!!

My comments to replies
Hello Padma, But I heard that after the collapse of the illegal Adarsh Tower building at Shil near Mumbra in April 2013, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had announced that the survivors would be provided temporary accommodation in these rental buildings. Subsequently, the TMC also handed over keys to such residents who were forcefully evacuated from buildings which were dangerously dilapidated.
Hey Lalit, More than 400 families were given temporary possession of these tenements. However, a reality check will reveal that though people have accepted the keys they are not residing in these match-box tenements. The rental housing scheme, however, has turned out to be a failure with only 3,000 odd houses being constructed so far. Dosti Vihar, the first of the two projects under the scheme based in Thane was allotted last year.

Q: Hi, Looks like Ghodbunder Road is going to be next most preferred destination due to availability of affordable houses.

My comments to replies
Hello, With the improvement of infrastructure, the area started becoming attractive by the middle of the last decade. The increased population in the centre of Thane city and the corresponding increased pricing of real estate, Ghodbunder Road started drawing more and more home buyers due to the affordability of the location.
Yeah Lalit, Ghodbunder Road still remained a preferred destination for price-sensitive home seekers due to its comparatively lower rates when viewed against core Thane city, Mulund and other areas. The area offers property at the average range of Rs 8,000-9,000 per sq ft. It seems that capital values of multi-storeyed apartments in the area have steadily increased almost 10 per cent in the last couple of years.

As far my knowledge is concerned you can invest in property in Ghodbunder Road, Manpada, Majiwada, Pokhran Road which are all located in Thane. Also you can look for properties in Kharghar, Ulwe, Vashi, CBD Belapur, Uran and Nerul which are situated in Navi Mumbai. The prospect in these localities look bright and good as one can definitely expect good appreciation value in about 4-5 years.Hi Abhi, Nice to know that you are looking for new residential properties in Mumbai.

However, as a real estate buyer, one needs to know when you are bound to pay these charges and when you should not:- Under two circumstances the developer has the right to charge escalation cost from the buyer. Firstly, if the developer improves the specifications of the unit or adds better amenities during the course of construction he can charge the additional cost with proper notice to the buyer. And secondly, if during the course of construction, the cost of construction increases by more than 10-15%, the developers can charge an additional cost provided this clause is mentioned in the agreement. Thus, it is imperative for the buyer to read the document carefully before buying.However, as a real estate buyer, one needs to know when you are bound to pay these charges and when you should not:- Under two circumstances the developer has the right to charge escalation cost from the buyer.

I am a co-owner of a flat in this project as well, and did receive similar calls from them. Lets organize ourselves on whatsapp or Facebook to face the builder as a group. I agree, these demands are unsubstantiated and have no base or standing.
If the project is in a good location and the developer has a good reputation and is facing issues that will be resolved in the foreseeable future, it is advisable to stay invested as long as one has the financial holding power.

Q: Industrial development in Maharashtra is slow but steady. In coming next 2-3 years investment in commercial property will be in boom. this is the best time to invest and get high returns on your investment.

My comments to replies
Hi Rocky, Mumbai is known as the financial capital of India now ranks as the most demanding destination for investing in properties. With the world’s second largest population and rich industrial growth, India has emerged as the region’s chief economic power. One of the greatest contributors to the booming Indian economy has been the Indian IT sector, the development of which is perceptible in all business sectors in India not least the India property market.
Hi Rakshit, You are absolutely right, India’s slowing economy has left its big cities with a abundance of office space, pushing up vacancy rates, freezing development and boosting some builders to convert commercial projects into housing one.
6th June 2014
@Rakshit, But Now the IT Revolution, BPO, IT Parks, Software Technology Parks, IT offices with requirements of large floor office spaces etc. and Companies would take up either a Building or a Floor. A good example of this is Mind Space - Malad, Hiranandani – Powai, Mind Space - Airoli, Nirlon Complex - Goregaon East and the Chandivali, Saki Naka and Andheri East belt.

Hi Abhishek, Right now the best location to invest is Ghodbunder Road, Thane as it is the fastest developing area and the rates are affordable. It is one of the fastest developing areas in entire Asia and will give you the best returns on the money invested. This area has witnessed a rapid growth in real estate development. Due to its connectivity and reachability, the road has attract the attention of many well-known developers.
Hi Abhishek, Nobody can commit you for 100% capital appreciation. It depends on locality, budget, connectivity, civic facilities, infrastructural development and employment oppertunity of that locality. As per the data, the capital values in Ghodbunder have increased by about 27% to Rs 8100/sq ft in 2013 compared to Rs 6,300/sqft in the last year. Currently the price move in the same locality is Rs. 8700-10300/sqft.

Hello sir, it comes under the MMRDA rental housing scheme. Problem for IB Greens is not FSI, it is due to the fact that it comes under the MMRDA rental housing scheme. Whereby they have to build out the rental scheme flats before they get permission to build the structures they sell to us. A month after the amended township policy for Pune was approved by the state government, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has cleared the decks for implementing the policy in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) on 24th june'2014. While the policy is not applicable to Mumbai itself due to the lack of large rolls of land, a total of 13 township projects have been cleared by the state government in areas in the MMR that are outside the BMC limits . These include projects at Ambivli, Khalapur, Bhiwandi, Karjat, Panvel, Devgad, Pen, Ambarnath and Alibaug. Some of these are by major realtors such as Indiabulls real estate and Lodha developers.Hello sir, it comes under the MMRDA rental housing scheme.

My replies to this discussion
Hello Nitin, For your knowledge i would like to tell you that whenever you have to pay any property tax then keep it in your knowledge that Stamp duty about 5%, Registration charge 1%, Vat & service tax at 1% and 3.09 % respectively only for under-construction flats, otherwise nil.Hello Nitin, For your knowledge i would like to tell you that whenever you have to pay any property tax then keep it in your knowledge that Stamp duty about 5%, Registration charge 1%, Vat & service tax at 1% and 3.09 % respectively only for under-construction flats, otherwise nil.
Hi, A builder or developer is also now liable to pay service tax if any payments are made by buyers, before the completion certificate is given. If payments are made after the completion certificate is given, then no service tax is payable. Hence if a property is under construction and you as a buyer pay a booking amount, this is considered payment towards sale consideration before completion certificate is given, and hence you will be liable to pay service tax at the rate of 10.30% of 25% of the sale value i.e. 2.575% of sale value.Hi, A builder or developer is also now liable to pay service tax if any payments are made by buyers, before the completion certificate is given.

My comments to replies
Hey Nitin, You must know about the taxes on under construction flats. VAT and service tax will push up the final cost of property. So, make your investment with care. You must also budget for service tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) in addition to the purchase price and stamp duty.
Right Miran, With a recent Supreme Court order on sale of under-construction flats, there is possibility of demand of VAT where it was earlier not collected for flats sold years back.

Q: Hi I had purchased a flat in taloja in sep, 2013. Builder has already got occupation certificate from CIDCO in oct,2012. Now he is demanding vat tax 1% from me. Without that he will not give possession to me.. I have already paid other dues. Pls suggest do I need to pay vat tax 1% to builder.
My comments to replies
At the time of registration, I have already paid stamp duty and registration fee then why i need to pay vat. Kindly clarify.
HI, Before making any decisions about paying VAT to the builder, flat owners should review details about the owner of the land, the builder's registration date, and the contract between flat owners and builders. The owners should also seek details of the works that were completed at the time the contract was signed. Flats sold since July 1, 2006 will be liable for payment of the tax, unless the building was issued an Occupancy Certificate before the sale agreement.

Q: I have booking in Patel colosus - 2BHK . Total area is 1150. They gave me allotment letter which has carpet are of 683. They told me open area like Balcony , dry area not part of carpet area. Can any one help me in understanding if it is correct? Total area 1150 and carpet area 683 how it is possible?
My replies to this discussion
Hi, Lets take your example, if carpet area is 600 sq ft. What would be super built up area? Lets assume the ratio is 75:25. Means carpet area is 75% of super built up area. SUPER BUILT UP AREA = 600 + 25% of 600 = 600 + 150 = 750 SQ FT So the payment will be made on 750 sqft not 600 sq ft. So, calculating on the above basis your total carpet area would be 854 sq-ft and your payment would be made on 854 sq-ft not 683.Hi, Lets take your example, if carpet area is 600 sq ft.

Hi, It is important to have your agreement checked by a lawyer or a knowledgeable person, so that the builder does not include clauses that are to his advantage and your disadvantage. If it contains any such unacceptable clauses, please have them struck out or suitably modified before you sign the agreement.

Please talk it over with the housing society and get a NOC.

As far as capital appreciation is concern Kandivali East real estate market is slow but steady. This area reported appreciation of 6% in 2013. The average prices in the area is Rs 14200/sq-ft. So, your investment horizon should be 3-5 years for a good capital appreciation.

Dear Shobhit, You raised a question of cash flow. I want to tell you that builders are not illiterate, they raised 80% of the project fund from the market before start of the construction work. So, no sense whether they have cash flow or not. Secondly, if you asked anything on phone regarding the project like, construction quality, CC, approvals, locality etc. they will only provide you the positive aspects of all these. It is you who can judge whether all the approvals are in place or not, how is the locality, whether they get the completion certificate of not. So, my advice to you before investment, visit the site, ask for all the legal approval, verify it from the local municipal corporation, look at the connectivity of the project etc.

Q: Want to understand about buying flat in leased property will y There be any legal concern or will it create issue in redevelopment - fateh baug

My comments to replies
HI, Property that is owned by a landlord and rented to a tenant who receives rights of use and possession in accordance with the terms of a lease agreement. Or, A written agreement under which a property owner allows a tenant to use the property for a specified period of time and rent. Often the tenant is responsible for general repairs and maintenance. However, try to exclude structural repairs and capital items from the tenant’s obligations. Be specific about which items you require the landlord to be responsible for.
@Deepankar, Leasehold means that you have the right to occupy a property a property for a set period of time (the length of the lease), but do not own the building itself. The advantage of owning property freehold, or having a share in the freehold of a property is that you are either totally in control, or have a say of what happens with the building, and in the latter case any repairs or service charges.

Virar has seen an upsurge in demand for residential real estate in the last few years. Infrastructure development and affordability have fueled this demand in the area. It currently attracts end-users who prefer ready-to-move-in options or ones that are nearing completion.Virar has seen an upsurge in demand for residential real estate in the last few years.

He cited the following deductions.Rs 10,200 for car parking, Rs 3500/- for AC repairing, 2665/- rent towards additional days. and the rest towards gas and electricity bill. While we agree for expenses towards rental, light, the contract doesnt mention the expenses to be paid for parking. The AC which was repaired while we moved in broke down within a month as it was already an old one. Also the breakdown is due to internal technical issues and not external. We have not used the pipeline gas connnection and hence we are not eligible for the payment. The contract also has not mentioned anything on the same. The owner have been totally harrowing us since the time we have shifted to his house as that house was full of leakage and he never bothered to rectify the issue. In addition he is now refusing to return our money which we believe is our due. Request your help.

Hi, If there's a dispute about the return of the deposit and you're unable to reach agreement with your landlord, the tenant can file a case against the landlord for return of the security deposit. A landlord must return your entire security deposit immediately upon your demand in the following situations: If the landlord fails to put your money in a bank account separate from the landlord's money; If the landlord does not give you a receipt within 30 days of receiving your security deposit that has: the name and address of the bank where your money is, the amount you gave the landlord as a security deposit, and the bank account number; or If the landlord does not allow you to inspect the records she is required to keep under the security deposit law.Hi, If there's a dispute about the return of the deposit and you're unable to reach agreement with your landlord, the tenant can file a case against the landlord for return of the security deposit.

Q: While hunting for homes, they came across some builders offering us the no EMI till possession scheme.

My replies to this discussion
Uncertain of the benefits of such a scheme, we must look into what this need. The real estate community is often at the receiving end of unpredictability in prices. Accuse it on the markets that influence buying power. This is nothing but a task that falls on builders to come up with innovative ways in which to promote their projects and get potential buyers to invest.

Hi Sandeep, It means till the time of possession, EMIs are paid by the developer to the bank, instead of the home owner doing so. But we will have to do our research on the kind of No EMI scheme being proposed. In one, the builder pays a part of interest and principal on your EMI to the bank in a reducing format for a fixed period of time. In another, they pay only the interest and the principal amount is deducted from your loan account.

Another advantages of this scheme is paying 20% of the down payment at the time of booking and then holding onto the EMIs till the construction is complete allows the buyer to reap better benefits from appreciation. A project may take approximately 3 years to complete. At the end of 3 years, there is a natural appreciation in price, one that the buyer will be able to benefit from more considering he has only made a down payment based on a lower price rate for the property.Another advantages of this scheme is paying 20% of the down payment at the time of booking and then holding onto the EMIs till the construction is complete allows the buyer to reap better benefits from appreciation.

In my point of view, check to see if there is a time limit on the number of years that the developer will pay the EMI. Many builders cap the number of years at 2, irrespective of whether the construction is complete or not. This may not work in your favor. Always keep in mind that if the developer fail to pay on the EMI payment, then you will be responsible to pay the same and the bank will hold you explainable.In my point of view, check to see if there is a time limit on the number of years that the developer will pay the EMI.

Hi Shantanu, Yes, the number of units have decreased by almost 27% from 2013-2014. The 1st qtr. of 2015 has seen only about 100 units launched by Lodha Group. There is also a slight demand-supply mismatch is Andheri East as most of the units launched serve to the luxury and ultra luxury. Whereas demand is higher for mid-segment properties.

Hi folks, Did you all hear the news. Piramal Fund Management to exit from Omkar's Worli residential project for Rs. 500 crore. The company plans to exit from two more projects, worth Rs 150 crore, in the coming quarters.
It's true..........the company had invested around Rs 200 crore in Omkar's luxury project Omkar 1973 in Worli in 2011. Though there is a slowdown in the realty market, they have managed to exit their investment at an internal rate of return of 24% which is around Rs 500 crore.
20th August 2015

Of these, 2 investments were made in self-development projects being implemented under the brand "Address Makers" in Whitefield and Electronic City, Bengaluru. The 3rd partial exit was made through interest payments received from an investment with the Marvel Group in Pune.
With the exit from Omkar 1973, the fund will make its first full exit thus, resulting in 4 of the 8 transactions having generated a return at this stage. This is also one of the first major exits for any private equity fund from a super-luxury project. The company has managed to sell more than half the project so far and around 5 lakh sq-ft under the 20:80 payment scheme alone,

Q: Which are the key factors giving boost to the Panvels realty growth?
My comments to replies
According to me the area is becoming popular particularly among the lower and middle income class home buyers due to its affordable property prices. Keeping in mind the upcoming airport and a number of planned infrastructure plan, one can expect the area to be one of the most demanding real estate destinations in MMR.
@Arup, Buying an apartment in Mumbai in an affordable range is now a difficult job, with property prices touching the sky high day-by-day. But at the same time, there are few localities in MMR, which offer affordable homes. Panvel in Navi Mumbai, is one such locality. Not only does it offer housing in the affordable budget, yet it is also very well connected to key areas in MMR such as Sion, Mankhurd, Vashi and CBD Belapur.

Right Arup, Some of the major highways providing connectivity to Panvel include NH-4, NH-4B, NH-17, Mumbai- Pune Expressway and Sion-Panvel Expressway. Sion-Panvel Expressway connects the area to the Mumbai International Airport.

Hey Rajesh, What i think is that the ministry is planning to develop a Model Concession Agreement in Urban water supply based on tariff indexation to inflation to reduce risks.

Q: The Maharashtra Government appears to be in a suspense over appointment of a regulatory body.

My comments to replies
A month back, it is come to hear that Congress is not supporting the bill as well as they are deferred the assembly. Recently, the union cabinet has approved amendments to the Real Estate Regulation and Development Bill 2013 pending in the Rajya Sabha. They are now awaiting the state government's clearance on whether they should go ahead with their state law or wait for the central act to be adopted.
Hi Praneetha, The Central government's bill is pending in the Rajya Sabha. Maharashtra Govt. has explained to the Parliamentary Standing Committee that Mumbai's housing needs are different from the rest of the country and there was urgent need for a housing regulator. It is expected that the Mumbai's provisions were better than the proposed central law.

My comments to replies
Hi folks, What is Form no. 15 & 16?When do we need it?
Hello Rituraj, The encumbrance certificate is issued in Form No. 15 and 16. If the property does not have any encumbrance during the said period, Form 16 will be issued i.e., certificate of Nil Encumbrance. If the property has any encumbrance registered during the said period, then form No. 15 will be issued. The certificate in form 15 reveals the documents registered with respect to the property, nature of the encumbrance such as gift, partition, lease and mortgage, the parties involved, the registered number of the document and other details in a date-wise manner.

But the bidders for the civil work are yet to be finalized. But it does not mean that the work cannot begin on other equally important components of the project.

My comments to replies
Good evening Sankalp, It is heard that the 32.5km-long Metro-III corridor is expected to ready by 2019 as per the original deadline set by the government. MMRC has invited bids for shortlisting the bidders for design, manufacture, supply, installation and commission of rolling stock.
Yes, it is true and plan to have 35 rakes of 6-coaches on the system. As per their estimated, the cost of getting the rolling stock will be around Rs 1700 crore to Rs 2000 crore.
3rd December 2015
It is true and any delay in the tendering process can also have an implication on the cost of the project due to inflation and foreign exchange fluctuations. Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation had estimated the cost of the project at Rs 23136 crore, including Rs 10500 crore on civil work and stations. The estimates of the project were based on the foreign exchange rates prevalent in 2011 and inflation and taxation policy of that era.
3rd December 2015

And if there is delay in bid process, there has been change on all these indices because of which civil work cost itself is likely to increase by Rs 5000 crore. As per the planning, the work is always given priority at the end where the car depot is planned. Since, the depot is going to shift to Kanjurmarg from Aarey, it is but obvious that work on Kanjurmar-Seepz will begin and conclude first.
I hear in a print media that The 32.5-km stretch will be opened in phases with the first being Seepz to BKC, expected to open by June 2019. The phase-2, which will be between BKC-Science museum. it will open in December 2019 and final stretch upto Cuffe Parade by April 2020.

Q: There may be separate RR rates for major cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad and others, which would give some relief to home buyers.

My comments to replies
It is true that there will be no blanket increase in the ready reckoner rate of Mumbai city for the next calendar year as the revenue minister Eknath Khadse assured in the legislative assembly yesterday.
Because of an issue raised by BJP MLA, Ashish Shelar in the assembly and demanded not to increase ready reckoner of the Mumbai city. As per him, the government increases ready reckoner rate every year by 15-20% that leads to increase in the cost of houses and property tax as well.
23rd December 2015

@sankalp, And in a reply to BJP MLA's statement, The revenue minister Eknath Khadse announced that the government will study the effect of the ready reckoner on the housing and property tax. But there will not be blanket increase in RR rate.
Yes, and later they decided that there may be separate RR rates for major cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad and others, which would give some relief to home buyers.

Hi Aarav, How to deduct the tax, is it on the entire amount at one go on the payment of each installment?

You are right Bikram. Ravi Group has not executed any conveyance in favor of any society of hundreds of buildings constructed by him in Mira Road & Mumbai.

Who is maintaining the amenities, builder or the Apartment Association. Better, you mail the members of the society and ask for attending the meeting and keep your points that you are facing.
Hi Vinay... I think before the formation of apartment owners association, it is the duty of the builder to maintain the apartment and its amenities. So, she should try to talk with any of them with all members.

Hi, Affordable housing refers to housing units that are affordable by that section of society whose income is below the median household income. Affordable housing becomes a key issue especially in developing nations where a majority of the population isn't able to buy houses at the market price. Disposable income of the people remains the primary factor in determining the affordability.
Hi Pranab, I am agree with you. And to meet the demand of a middle class people the Government of India has taken various measures to meet the increased demand for affordable housing along with some developers and stressing on public-private partnerships (PPP) for development of these units.

Once demand letter is received for wing-B up to plinth level will be updated. After this demand builder will straight for 2nd floor. And also Kishore has mentioned that instead of 3-level of basement parking, the building will have 4-level of basement parking which is very good as this should help apartments on lower floors.

Q: According to rera, if all flats are sold on purely carpet area basis, how will balcony or pocket terrace be sold to owner? How will that be calculated legally?
My replies to this discussion
As stated in the circular, the terrace, veranda, external wall and the balcony will not come under the carpet area even it is exclusively dedicated to the flat owner whereas the internal partition wall will be included in the carpet area. This move by the Maharashtra RERA will bring consistency in the real estate sector and will bar developers from selling flats on the basis of the built up area.As stated in the circular, the terrace, veranda, external wall and the balcony will not come under the carpet area even it is exclusively dedicated to the flat owner whereas the internal partition wall will be included in the carpet area.

Well, when you have multiple builders to choose from and with each builder having several projects, shortlisting and comparing real estate projects can get difficult and overwhelming. These are the few points which you have to keep in your mind - 1) Location, 2) Appreciation, 3) Budget, 4) Builder Reputation, 5) compare master & floor plan, 6) compare amenities with nearby projects, 7) compare authorised banks and payment Schemes, 8) necessary clearances, 9) completion date, 10) cancellation policy etc.Well, when you have multiple builders to choose from and with each builder having several projects, shortlisting and comparing real estate projects can get difficult and overwhelming.

The deputy registrar is appointed by the administrator when the differences between the members are grown enough to make the society suffer due to the behaviour of the members. The powers of an administrator are quite restricted. Legally, the administrator replaces the managing committee and therefore the powers of an administrator, under no circumstances, can exceed the powers of the managing committee. Administrator is appointed for the purpose of holding elections and to constitute a proper managing committee. The Administrator is not ordinarily required nor expected to take policy decisions. Administrator has no power to enrol the new members, he has only power to organise elections in accordance with the law and the bye-laws of the society
Yes, the powers enabling the Registrar to expel a committee are to be worked only delicately and to bring improper societies and their committees to book. The spirit of the law is that the administrator should set the things right and hold the elections at the earliest. The administrator is like a guest to manage the affairs of the society on adhoc basis till new committee is constituted by due process of law. The law provides for appointment inter alia of the administrator for a maximum period of 6 months which may be extended for a further maximum of 3 months.

Q: The original buyer Mr.ABC booked flat by paying booking amount 12,30,000/-(cash + cheque) and 22,20,000/- in cash in between 2011 and 2013 and got allotment letter. The total agreement value mentioned in the allotment letter is 48,75,000/-. In 2013, because of financial difficulties decided to sell the flat.He offered me to purchase it.We have executed a MOU on 100/- stamp paper in presence of 2 witnesses. I paid all the amount which Mr.ABC has paid to builder (34,55,000/-). The builder issued NOC to original buyer Mr.ABC and transferred the flat in my Name in 2013 after receiving additional 12,30,000/- in cheque mode from my account..But Agreement for sale was not executed between original buyer Mr.ABC and the builder. Nor did the builder was ready to execute agreement with me. I kept on writing emails and letters, but builder was not ready. Now the builder received Commencement certificate on 26 April 2019.He sent me notices to pay additional 13 lakhs (which he says is as per the RERA Payment schedule) and complete the agreement and Registration process but not for the allotted flat but for some other flat for which he was asking me to pay 4 lakhs extra as floor rise. As per him the allotted flat due to technical reasons does not exist and he by his choice selected a flat on some other floor.I was adamant for any change in the flat. i also paid the stamp duty of 4,65,000/- as per the market value of flat.Now again the builder has sent me notice that since i did not comply with the rules and did not pay 13 lakhs he has cancelled my allotment. Also he has said that he has refunded the booking amount of 12,30,000/- to the original buyer Mr.ABC in cheque mode in 2013 itself, keeping me in dark till date. Builder is not ready to speak anything about the rest cash amount which he has received in cash from original buyer Mr.ABC. As per builder whatever he has received from original buyer Mr.ABC he has refunded back. Further he will refund only the amount paid by me through cheque (12,30,000/-) that to after deducting 10%. The original buyer Mr.ABC has taken money both from me and also from the builder thus reducing my part payment consideration.Even after paying 46,80,000/- as well as the stamp duty of 4,65,000/- builder has cancelled my allotment. The original buyer Mr.ABC has not yet handed over the payment receipts of the amount he has paid to the builder inspite of several requests. Shall i approach RERA or file a consumer case against builder. Also a civil and criminal case against The original buyer Mr.ABC.
