It is a matter of personal choice of the buyers. A residential complex could offer more amenities, larger no of families to socialize, a set no of agencies to ensure daily housekeeping on a timely basis and even better security sometimes. On the other hand, a stand alone building has fewer members, hence decisions related to the society can be made faster, amenities are used by far fewer people and stress on the infrastructure is lower. Standalone buildings can be at prominent locations in the city as compared to large residential complexes that would normally be located at a distance. |

The scheme of reverse mortgage has been introduced recently for the benefit of senior citizens owning a house but having inadequate income to meet their needs. Some important features of reverse mortgage are:A homeowner who is above 60 years of age is eligible for reverse mortgage loan. It allows him to turn the equity in his home into one lump sum or periodic payments mutually agreed by the borrower and the banker. The property should be clear from encumbrances and should have clear title of the borrower. NO REPAYMENT is required as long as the borrower lives, Borrower should pay all taxes relating to the house and maintain the property as his primary residence. The amount of loan is based on several factors: borrower’s age, value of the property, current interest rates and the specific plan chosen. Generally speaking, the higher the age, higher the value of the home, the more money is available. The valuation of the residential property is done at periodic intervals and it shall be clearly specified to the borrowers upfront. The banks shall have the option to revise the periodic / lump sum amount at such frequency or intervals based on revaluation of property. Married couples will be eligible as joint borrowers for financial assistance. In such a case, the age criteria for the couple would be at the discretion of the lending institution, subject to at least one of them being above 60 years of age. The loan shall become due and payable only when the last surviving borrower dies or would like to sell the home, or permanently moves out. On death of the home owner, the legal heirs have the choice of keeping or selling the house. If they decide to sell the house, the proceeds of the sale would be used to repay the mortgage, with the remainder going to the heirs. As per the scheme formulated by National Housing Bank (NHB), the maximum period of the loan period is 15 years. The residual life of the property should be at least 20 years. Where the borrower lives longer than 15 years, periodic payments will not be made by lender. However, the borrower can continue to occupy. (Source : RBI Website) |

Subsequently you can approach Society with necessary forms to add their names in Share certificate. |
| 395 |
Your parents both expired intestated, i. e. without leaving a will then in such a case, ownership of the flat would devolve upon heirs of your parents.

This is a very subjective question. Does the buyer intend to stay in Mumbai and make it his home or is from outside the city for a couple of years. There is room in the city for the prices to escalate even further, especially because we are a developing economy. GDP of the country is still in the growth mode, maximum of the population is in under the age of 25. FSI in mumbai ranges from 0.5-4 depending upon the type of construction/zone/redevelopment scheme unlike foregin counterparts, where it can even go to as high as 20. This further restricts supply. All these are reasons for the price to rise further. Mumbai pricing is still cheaper than the developer counterparts such as London, Hongkong etc where GDP is now flat. Plus mumbai is an island city, where the supply is at one point going to be limited, unlike other cities, where they can easily be expanded. Hence if one intends to stay here, buying is a good option. |
| 418 |
Comparison should be on following facts: 1. Type of building (e.g. Complex / stand alone / High or low rise); 2. Amenities and specifiactions; 3. Completion time and 4. On carpet area basis 5. Developer reputation and projects completed by him in the recent past |
| 419 |
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016' makes it mandatory for all under construction projects as well as completed but Occupation / Completion certificate is yet to be received to register under the said Act and upload full information about the project whereby anyone can check all approvals, titles etc. online. |
| 420 |
One can give public notice in the news paper if it is not registered, although it is not a full proof way to find out. But if the builder has sold the flat which is not registered then it may not stand chance in court of law if the matter goes to the court. Only registered flats can be traced by way of search in the office of the sub registrar or by accessing it's portal online. |
| 421 |
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016' makes it mandatory for all under construction projects as well as completed but Occupation / Completion certificate is yet to be received to register under the said Act and upload full information about the project whereby anyone can check all approvals, titles etc. online. |
| 422 |
Commerical market had been at an all time low since the last couple of years. Because of this, commercial supply went down drastically except in select areas such as BKC, Lower Parel. Over time, people have been experiencing a dearth in supply in places in northern suburbs of mumbai and demand for commercial real estate is now on the rise, especially for compact units in the range of 400-1000 sq. ft with built in pantry and bathrooms. There has been a major demand for these units, mainly keeping in mind the budgets, buyers have in mind while making the purchases. |
| 423 |
Ready reckoner has the single most important impact on the pricing of any property. Most of the premiums of the statutory authorities are tied to the ready reckoner. Hence an increase in the ready reckoner price has a direct increase on the cost, which shall ultimately affect the price. A classic example of the same can be seen in Mumbai, where ready reckoner prices have increased multi-fold in the last 5-6 years, which has seen a very steep increase in the property prices conseqentially. |
| 424 |
It is a very subjective call, dependent on the builder. In many cases, builders are ready to offer some rebates for providing a shell flat. |
| 425 |
As per RERA, all builders will need to broadly adhere to the payment schedule as mentioned in the RERA sample agreement, which could change from one state to the other as per certain amendments brought about by the individual state. |
| 426 |
There are a couple of reasons behind this. All MCGM costs, are dependent on a ready reckoner rate, that is reviewed and set by the government annually. Over the last couple of years, there have been exponential increases in the prices of the ready reckoner rates. All MCGM related costs are directly proportional to these rates and hence have gone up many times over the last couple of years. Besides this mumbai is an island city, with a very limited supply that cannot be increased by expanding the city on all sides. Also demands of the land owners is a big contributer to the pricing. All societies expect a certain extra area, hardship allowance, rent which has a significant increase in the price. Over the years, these components have only increased. This coupled with the government taxes such as stamp duty, VAT and service tax, and newly introduced GST will further increase the prices in the city. |
| 427 |
a) Not till the outskirts of Mumbai city is fully developed like in advanced countries; b) Poor logistics and infrastructure developement is also one of the key reasons for No Reduction in property prices. |
| 428 |
It may, if, a) smart cities offer better quality life in terms of Education, Health, Fairly priced Accommodation and Job/Business opportunities; b) there is a good connectivity with Mumbai city. |
| 429 |
Mumbai has been the major attraction for immigrants from rest of the country because of its fast overall developement and high employment opportunities. Few reasons influencing no reduction in property prices : a) The constant need of migrators to Mumbai encourages landlords to hold on to high prices. b) There has been constant increase in premiums payable to MCGM ; c) Cost of construction has been constantly increasing and Finally, d) Till the outskirts of Mumbai city are fully developed there is no reason for Reduction in property prices |
| 430 |
It is not always practically possible to obtain full CC at one go. There are huge premiums that need to be paid. If they are paid in one go, developer will incur heavy finance charges on the same, which ultimately will be passed to the consumer. |
| 431 |
Areas such as Mulund, Vikhroli on the central side and Dahisar, Borivali on the western sides are good places of investments. The price differentials between these places and their southern counterparts is almost 100%. With connectivity improving with metro and eastern freeway, commute time across the city is improving. This will eventually result in price appreciation in these areas over the next couple of years, when infrastructure is well developed within the city |
| 432 |
As per the newly launched RERA, developers shall give a defect guarantee of 5 years to the flat allottes against workmanship defects, provided no changes have been made by the allotees/society/purchaser/occupant for the same. |
| 433 |
Price of any commodity depends upon supply and demand. When prices of steel and cement are lower it implies that there is no sustainable demand from the real estate as well as infrastructure. As such combined cost of cement and steel forms a very small percentage of price of a real estate in mumbai so even the substantial decrease in rates of these commodities will not have any measurable impact on the price of a real estate even in a distant suburb of mumbai. |
| 434 |
One can sell flat in the building that falls under CRZ. |
| 435 |
It depends upon the location and condition of a building. Although one can not utilise TDR on the land falling under CRZ but because of the same reason building may have more open space for the recereation activities and parking facility density of that compared to other buildings. |
| 436 |
Depends on individual, generally, any property under going redevelopement fetches compensation towards rental expenditure for temporary accommodation, corpus fund to take care of maintenance charges for the new apartment, and additional area. Hence, one can calculate and evaluate to offer price to buy an old apartment after checking the on going price for the new apartment offered in that vicinity. |
| 437 |
One should not purchase a flat merely because it is cheaply available and that too in a dilapidated building, unlesss he is very sure that the property is going for a redevelopment in a very near future. |
| 438 |
Date of purchase is the date of agreement for sale but for the capital gain tax purpose it is the date of possession of the flat. |
| 439 |
It is possible to define the proportion in the sale agreement |
| 440 |
Buying a flat In under construction building will attract payment of GST whereas it is not applicale for a completed building having Occupation/Completion Certificate issued by approval authority |
| 441 |
After introduction of Maharashtra Real Estate regulation Act, 2016, it is mandatory for the developer to register new and ongoing project withReal Estate regulatory Authority (RERA) after obtaining approvals from the local authority. All details such as nature of the proposed building, title of the property, completion time of the project, draft of Agreement for sale etc. are uploaded on RERA website. Interested buyer can log in to this website to get necessary information about the project. |
| 442 |
This depends on the conditions in the agreeement. If the payment is not made in time, and there is a termination clause which states that agreement can be terminated due to delayed payment, seller can return your payment and sell it to some other buyer. However, it is very subjective and shall largely depend on the conditions in the agreement |
| 443 |
You need to file a police complaint, inform your housing society, issue news paper notice and make application for duplicate copy of your registered document before the registration office citing your document registration number |
| 444 |
It will all depend on the terms and conditions mentioned in the letter of allotment and/or agreement |
| 445 |
It depends on the size of the flat. We need more details in terms of locality, amentiy, flat carpet area to determine the right price. Is this in a building with or without OC? |
| 446 |
Registration charges of 1% of agreement value shall need to be paid again, plus in case of a gift from one brother to another, it will be treated as a gift deed and 3% stamp duty of agreement value shall also need to be paid |
| 447 |
It will all depend on the terms and conditions mentioned in the letter of allotment and/or agreement |
| 448 |
Areas such as borivali,kandivali, malad, mulund, dahisar, where the property prices are still low compared to other places south, are good places to invest. Being smaller apartments, chances of them going on a lease are also very high. |
| 449 |
One should buy a flat/unit which is reflecting in the plans, approved by the authority. |
| 450 |
It is always advisable to conduct own due diligence prior to buying any property. However, as of now when RERA is applicable for all new or ongoing projects it will be easier for you to browse through RERA website to understand nature of title of the property. |
| 451 |
Only the owner of the property needs to sign as a seller, independent of the marital status of the seller |
| 452 |
Mumbai real estate prices historically have increased at the rate of 15-18% annually over the last 50 odd years. Reasons for the same have already been answered in another question in the same category. |
| 453 |
It is always recommended to hire a lawyer for the same. Proper title search of the property for the last 30 years should be done to ensure the right owners. Also, check whether lien exists on the property by contacting the respective governing body of the building. You should obtain the chain of documents from the seller, once the full price has been paid. You should also check whether there are any pending outstanding due on the flat in consideration and whether proper stamp duty has been paid while registration of all previous agreements |
| 454 |
An agreement for sale can be prepared between you and your mother. However, for this your mother shall need to come to Mumbai for the registration process. In case, someone holds a registered power of attorney for your mother, he/ she can sign on your mothers behalf. In case no monetary transaction needs to be performed, a gift deed can simply be executed between the two of you by paying the applicable stamp duty on the gift deed. As on today, Rs 200 stamp duty is payable if mother gifts to her children |
| 455 |
It is absolutely required to prove title to a property, also acts as a proof of ownership in a property in court of law and is used by banks while giving out home loans |
| 456 |
This can be done only if your brother agrees to transfer the same in your name. If he does, he can gift you the same using gift deed. |
| 457 |
One has to inquire with real estate brokers in his area to know prevailing rent and can also be ascertained by visiting few flats avavilable on rent in the near by area. Amount of the corpus will depend upon feasibility of the project and it is usually created to cover cost of maintenance of the new premises offered to the existing member. |
| 458 |
It's not mandatory to offer extra area to Society, however as per the provisions of prevailing D. C. regulation, fungible compensatory floor Space Index (FSI) of the existing building shall not be used for free sale, depending upon the feasibility of the project extra area is offered. In suburbs builder get admissible FSI of the plot, TDR ( depending upon the road on which the plot of the society situated) and fungible compensatory FSI not exceeding 35% for residential development and 20% for the Industrial/commercial development. |
| 459 |
Without knowing the size of the proposed building, its difficult to assess completion time for the building. It all depends on the size of the plot, plan whether there is a basement or a podium or both or none. However, If all the permissions are in place and plans are sanctioned then a standalone building with basement or car parking floor/podium should take around 30/36 months for the completion. |
| 460 |
Government of Maharashtra has issued directive under section 79(A) of Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act,1960 which is termed as "directive for Redevelopment of building of Co-operative Housing Society". It explains in detail entire process of redevelopment. |
| 461 |
There is nothing like proper OC (Occupation certificate), building is either with OC or without it. If the building is without OC then fungible Compensatory FSI available on rehabilitation component shall not be granted without charging premium. |
| 462 |
It depends upon the size and shape of the land & also the encroached area. One should always try to remove encroachment for the better planning however If it's not possible to remove it then encroached area is deducted from the plot area. in that case TDR and fungible compensatory FSI of encroach area will not be available for the construction. |
| 463 |
Normally on a top floor or on the first floor of the building a terrace is formed out of compulsion and its used by the adjoining flat owner. As such its not counted in the built up area of the building. Its a point of negotiation between the developer and a owner of such terrace to settle it. |
| 464 |
It is always preferable to have unanimous decision on redevelopment otherwise atleast 70% member should give consent for the redevelopment. It is necessary for the society to follow directive laid out by the State Goverment under section 79(A) of Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. After following a due process of redevelopment as per the directive one can take a legal route to resolve the issues related to non consenting members. |
| 465 |
Its always better to remove such encroachment for a better planning and to fetch better value of the property. However, if it is difficult, then that area should be earmarked and deducted from the plot area but it should be done in consultation with the Architect. |
| 466 |
A PMC refers to a Project Management Consultant and is generally associated with architects, engineers and quantity surveyors. Project management involves integrating the entire project team including the developer and the society, and creating synergies that lead to achievement of the project objectives which revolves around four elements: performance, cost, time and scope.
Keep in mind the following factors while choosing a PMC
- The PMC should have the liasoning experience with the BMC and should be very well versed with any changes/circulars from the authorities.
- He should have a professional team to provide all the services to the society and his approach should be of the most transparent one without any vested interest.
- The PMC needs to have a thorough knowledge of the DCR and the Bye laws of the Government.
- The PMC should have the entire know how of the Redevelopment including the processes involved.
- He should act as a mentor to the society where in he should look into the society's interest as a priority.
- He should be a guiding force for the members with a holistic approach till the end.
- He should adopt proactive methods in solving all the problems of the members
- He should provide the society with a realistic feasible report which will help the society to know their expectation and the demand from the developer.
- He should resolve all the issues in the most amicable way and also plan the processes in the right and a fool proof manner.
- He should be at the disposal of the society during the entire period of construction and should advice them towards the quality/speed and efficiency of the developer.
- He should be a neutral person in the society and should not favor any of the party in Redevelopment.
- The PMC is basically the Society's consultant and should act as the most professional person well equipped with all the requirements of the society with respect to the Redevelopment.
You can choose PMC by inviting tenders or by reference. |
| 467 |
It is not mandatory to give shifting charges but normal practice is to give one time brokerage and shifting charge. |
| 468 |
It is safe to vacate to shift only after plans are sanctioned for the buildings. At this point, the IOD must be issued by the planning authority. IOD which stands for Intimation of Disapproval, is the first permit considered for construction. |
| 469 |
As this is illegal, we do not entertain such encroachers. However, if they are adamant and they try disrupt the redevelopment, a developer may offer them some area or other consideration on account of the society. It is advisable to tackle this situation internally before going for redevelopment. |
| 470 |
It is pre-requisite to obtain NOC's from the department of Chief Fire Officer (CFO) and Traffic and coordination department of the Municipal corporation of greter mumbai ( assuming area falls in the jurisdiction of MCGM), this usually takes about 30 days. Post issue of NOC's plans are submitted for the concession approvals from the Municipal Commissioner and subsequently it is submitted to the Building Proposal department of MCGM, which after thorough scrutiny sanctions plans and issue IOD. Whole process takes about 4/5 months in the current scenario. |
| 471 |
Normally builders do not load entire FSI initially. It requires huge cash flow depending upon the location of the redevelopment property as premium charges payable to the MCGM are in direct proportion to the Ready Reckoner rates of the zone in which property is located & TDR rates are influenced by demand and supply. so by loading entire FSI finance cost of the project is going to increase and if it is financially viable, builder may agree to load entire FSI. However if its unviable then the next best option is to ensure that Owners/members new premises are identified in the initially sanctioned plans before they vacate existing place. Although after introduction of MAHARERA it is safe to vacate if the agreement is providing sufficient safety. |
| 472 |
Yes, if the plot on which the building is situated is falling under CRZ then the development can take place with the floor space index (FSI) of the plot as TDR and fugible compensatory FSI are not permitted to be utilised in CRZ. |
| 473 |
You have to check the lease document, whether any such conditions are mentioned requiring consent of the owner in case of the redevelopment. sometimes the lease is executed in favour of the society for 99 or 999 years with complete right of the redevelopment. |
| 474 |
If the building is in dilapidated condition and cessed property declared by mhada then minimum size of the tenament in case of residential flat should be 300 sq feet carpet area and same carpet area as the existing in case of the commercial premises.
In other cases, each flat is given an incentive area in terms of percentage of the existing carpet area of each tenant. If your flat is larger, you will receive more incentive area. |
| 475 |
If the builder has promised free flat, you have to ensure that builder has onbtained development rights of the properrty from the owner and executed agreement for the permanent alternate accommodation in your favour. You have to ensure before vacating existing place that plans are sanctioned by the planning authority for the proposed redevelopment. |
| 476 |
Please contact Practising Architect in your area. We can try and find names if we get exact details for the area in which you operate |
| 477 |
Your bank guarantee should be sufficient to cover the construction cost of the area of the existing owners/members in the proposed building. If it meets this value, then you may consider it as sufficient/adequate. |

DDP 2034 proposes Fsi on Gross Plot Area and hence the FSI has to Increase. Also the Fsi of Reservations is proposed to be granted over and above FSI and Aditional Fsi/TDR. However after the DDP was published in May 2016, In November 2016 the Govt came up with the Policy of TDR Permissible as per Road Width + 0.50addl FSI + Road setback + Base FSi. Hence for Larger Roads the FSi is Road setback + 2.2 / 2.4/2.5 which is more than Cap of 2.0 Proposed in DDp 2034 hence in DDP 2034 the FSI Increase due to Gross Plot Area will be subject to Road width and Road setback as compared to today's FSI. |
| 497 |

Ideally, the center of the television should be at eye level of the viewer. However there other factors like distance from the television and
the Screen Size of the televison that also play a role in deciding the height.
That being said, the optimum height of the Television (measured from the center of the TV) is calculated like:
Most sofa seating heights = 18 inches approximately
Eye level for an average adult seated in a relaxed manner = 24 inches approximately
Optimum Height of TV (measured from center) = Sofa Seating Heights + Eye level for an average adult seating in relaxed manner
Optimum Height of TV (measured from center) = 18 + 24 inches
Optimum Height of TV (measured from center) = 42 inches

Tempered Glass is stronger and more durable than regular annealed glass. Also upon breaking, it will shatter into dull,
rounded cubes as opposed to sharp, jaggered pieces.
On the other hand, Laminated glass is another type of safety glass that protects against wind, heat and impact. As an added benefit, Laminated Glass also reduces glare and controls UV radition. |

In the recent years, Indian real estate market has had several ultra-luxury projects. India’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals have shown a keen interest for expensive and luxurious housing. A house in a coveted locality is not enough. The house should have the perfect balance of high standard of living and premium quality of amenities.
There is over a 100% rise in ultra-luxury projects. During the year 2007-11, there were 5,870 units that were launched. Post 2012 it has been noticed that about 11,819 ultra-luxury projects have been already launched. Gurgaon, Mumbai and Bengaluru have witnessed the maximum number of ultra-luxury projects. Key luxury housing markets have witnessed steady appreciation in prices over the last few quarters.
As per a report by Ernst & Young and Kotak Wealth Management, the number of ultra high net worth individuals in India, which was 1,17,000 in 2013-14, is projected to nearly triple to 3,43,000 by 2018-19. Industry reports estimate that close to 40% of the Indian luxury consumers are living outside of metros. Increase in income, lifestyle standards and accessibility and availability of luxury brands in the country have changed the face of the luxury in India. Apart from the metros, cities like Bangalore, Chandigarh, Gurgaon plus tourist destinations like Goa, parts of Himachal, Kerala etc. especially from the point of view of the second home market are witnessing gradual increase in luxury housing market. We estimate that over the next 15 years, there will be a need for 1.5 million luxury homes in India. The Indian millionaires and billionaires look to invest in luxury homes, both for themselves and for their children thereby increasing the numbers.
Outside of metros, the cost of living is low, while income might be high. This means that their disposable income is higher than in the metros, such individuals will be looking to purchase luxury properties within their city. With the growth of such individuals, we see the demand increasing more outside the metros. |

Typically, light fixture wall switches in standard applications are set so that a standard 4-inch wall box is somewhere between 48 and 52 inches from the floor. There are a couple of advantages to this. First, this puts the switch at a comfortable height for most people in a standing position. Second, it makes for easy installation of wallboard during home construction. Standard sheets of 4-ft. wide wallboard are installed horizontally in most new home construction, and if switch boxes are set at about 48 inches from the floor, it allows for easy measuring, marking, and cutting of the wallboard panels to fit. The switch box can installed so either its top or bottom is at the 48-inch mark, or it may be centered on the mark.
Execptions to this rule are for switch boards mounted above countertops, next to the bed, or for handicap people. |

Most houses with wooden doors and door frames experience Jamming during the monsoons.
This happens mainly because wooden doors and door frames get swollen up by absorbing the moisture in the atmosphere. Bathroom Doors and Door Frames are more susceptible to absorb moisture compared to all others.

People buying new appartments keep this in mind and install Granite Door Frames and FRP doors for bathrooms.

The following taxes apply on a reslate flat:
1) 5% Stamp Duty (Consideration Amount or Market Value of the flat, whichever is higher)
2) Registration (1% of consideration or 30000/- whichever is lower)
3) Capital Gains Tax -
(a) Short Term - If you sell the flat within 3 years of possession, a 35% short term capital gain tax is applicable on the gain. Gain is calculated as the profit earned at sale.
(b) Long Term - If you sell the flat after 3 years of possession, a 20% long term capital gain tax is applicable on the gain.
Gain = (Sale Price - (Cost Inflation Index in the year of sale / Cost Inflation Index in the year of purchase) * purchase price).
eg.
You purchased a flat in FY 2013/14 and sold it in FY 2016/17
Purchase Value = Rs 1,00,000 in 2013-14
Cost Inflation Index value in 2013/14 = 939
Cost Inflation Index value in 2016/17 = 1125
Sale Price = Rs 4,00,000
Gain = 4,00,000 - 1125/939* 1,00,000 = Rs 280191.69
Tax = 20% * 280191.69 = Rs 56038.34
(c) No Long Term Capital Gains is applicable if you invest your capital gain (as calcualated in (b) above) in another flat 1 year before date of transfer/sale or 2 years after date of sale/transfer. If you purchase in an under construction flat, you must ensure that the possession of this flat must be within 3 years from date of transfer/sale. |

While everyone has a different opinion on this topic, the distance of the seating from the television is heavily dependant on the size of the Television.
The thumb rule is :
For HDTV
Optimal viewing distance = 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen diagonal
Thus for a 42" HDTV,
Optimal viewing distance = (1.5x42) to (2.5x42) = (63") to (105") = 5.4 feet to 8.9 or 9 feet
and
For 4K HDTV
Optimal viewing distance = 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen diagonal (to see extra detail)
Thus for a 42" 4K HDTV,
Optimal viewing distance = (1x42) to (1.5x42) = (42") to (63") = 3.6 feet to 5.4 feet |

Floor Space Index (FSI) is an important parameter in any developing urban area. It provides one of the important bases for planning and development control. When correctly determined, FSI dictates the allowable built-up area on a given plot. On the other hand, it has also to be determined by way of translating land use policy, transportation management and matters governing urban density etc. Past reports show many policies related to FSI are neither methodically determined nor based upon any definitive weighting technique.
The assessment techniques, if any, are based upon land economics and not upon the ‘demand / need’. The available literature on the subject is linked with the impact of constructed space upon the urban fabric. This justification is advantageous, but may not give a directive principle in urban development strategy.
The Floor Space Index (FSI) is one of the important factors as it encourages the use of vertical space, rather than the horizontal. The evolution of philosophy of FSI concept is simple. In village planning, it is considered sustainability and availability of water and resources as a major factor.
The township planning gives more importance to residential housing considering the earning capacity of the individual through local body tax. The relevant acts are related to the suitable use of space. In one act, it considers the social and health perspective. In another act, it is recommended the mixed-use in villages considering non-polluting industry, hospitals, educational institutions, playgrounds, gardens, schools, with residential. In city planning, it considers the available amenities, approach to the roads, business activities, tax collection etc.(more)

The commercial real estate sector plays a crucial role in the functioning and economy of any metropolis, with its significance being even more pronounced in a city like Mumbai. Comprising properties such as office spaces, retail establishments like shopping centers and high-street shops, and industrial, technology, and warehousing properties, the commercial real estate sector is valued at an estimated ?2 trillion.
Furthermore, Mumbai is home to India’s largest office space market, which is spurred by the presence of a plethora of domestic and multinational companies engaged in banking and finance, pharmaceuticals, shipping and importing, information technology, healthcare, and media, to name a few.
Apart from income demand, Mumbai’s working population is estimated to increase from five million in 2019, with 20 million registered migrants annually, to nine million by 2030, thereby significantly increasing demand in the commercial real estate sector, which has the third-highest international passenger traffic in the world.
Most of India’s commercial real estate stock is situated in Mumbai, home to master-planned central business districts and special economic zones that cater to different sectors.
Most market development has occurred in 1920s Mumbai, while smaller infill developments have taken place in the suburbs and towns of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Bandra-Kurla Complex, Lower Parel, Andheri, and Goregaon, with new business districts more recently emerging in mill districts such as Parel and Elphinstone, and the erstwhile textile towns of Thane, along with integrated townships featuring IT parks and SEZs in Navi Mumbai.
The primary stakeholders in the Indian commercial property market typically include three different entities: developers, institutional investors, and quasi-governmental institutions. The construction and selling prices of real estate in Mumbai have increased by 16.17% and 15.23% annually from 2015 to 2019, respectively. Other transaction costs include cess and surcharges, stamp duties, and local body taxes. The accelerated price appreciation has made current and new investors, including some marginal developers, more willing to offer purchased and leased properties for outright or joint venture redevelopment.(more)

Legal and Regulatory Framework for Running Tuition Classes in Residential Flats in Mumbai
Laws and regulations play a big role in the starting and closing of any business. This guideline must be adhered to. Similarly, when it comes to running Tuition Classes in Residential Flats in Mumbai or any commercial activity in residential properties, one has to bear in mind the various laws. To understand the current scenario, let us delve into the existing laws.
The Maharashtra Rent Control Act is one of the important laws where Section 158 deals with numerous restrictions on the majority of residential premises in Mumbai. Various municipal regulations elaborated under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act and other legal acts are also responsible for distinguishing between the regulations for sale, lease, rent, or usage of residential and commercial premises.
The main reasonable difference between commercial and residential flats, as per the law, is that a tenant cannot be evicted from a residential property exempted from the restrictions under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, and in turn, the owner of the property has to pay a concessional cess tax.
There are also various guidelines that do not allow non-residential activities in residential premises. There are huge penalties for deviations initiated, during, or completed from the legal restrictions, including non-compliance with the conditions.
The society has the right to seal any non-licensed activities being carried out in a residential property. Many judgments have not distinguished between various commercial activities, including educational activities, when it comes to renting or subleasing, subject to the special conditions.(more)

Registration fees and stamp duty are inevitable costs that need to be met by every individual purchasing a flat. A deed of sale of immoveable property for the value of over a prescribed amount must compulsorily be presented either for adjudication or for registration. On failure to present the documents, such a document is made to lose legal efficacy and is not enforceable in any court. The main object of registration at the registration office is to give authenticity to the registered document regarding its execution, the identity of parties, justness to title and right, due execution, and consideration where a document is impounded for want of correct stamp duty, or where the defect is pointed out.
The system of registration of documents was first introduced in the Indian subcontinent by the British. They used 'paper' including the rule of law, administration of justice, sanctity of contract, and engagement for delivery and peaceful enjoyment of property. The registration fee was also intended to be a source of revenue.
The Indian Registration Act, 1908, is modeled upon English law, but there were very stringent and rigid formalities and compliance with the Indian Registration Act, 1871, which was unsatisfactory. The Indian Registration Act, 1908, has added many innovative features relating to registration, removal of defilement, prevention of fraud and forgery, and the validity of and checking the prima facie proof of execution and title.
The Indian Registration Act, 1908, authorizes the State Government to fix registration fees that shall be levied on the registration of documents. The object and purpose of the registration fee or the stamp duty under the Indian Registration Act, 1908, are both identification facilities as well as taxing property since registration is prima facie proof of title.
The consent, approval, or payment of fees is recorded in the index maintained in the registration office. The stamps impounded for non-acceptance due to the lack of payment of regular fees or fraud do not prevent the latter for want of correct and regular payment of proper registration fees or vice versa.(more)

I am buying a property from a lady. Her husband has passed away. They have the only daughter residing in USA for a decade now. In order to purchase the property by taking GPA from the daughter in favour of the mother, there is implication of TDS under section 195 of the income tax act at 20% on the portion of 50% share of the daughter. Hence, the lawyer from the seller side has adviced to take a GPA in the name of mother from daughter. The mother will execute a release deed in her own favour and become 100% owner of the property. Then she would transfer the property to me as a resident in India. This will have the impact of 1% TDS. The query is "Can the mother execute a release deed from her only daughter in her own favour and then sell the property to me" is this legally right? Further, they do not want to execute the GPA in anyone else favour to save the Stamp duty if GPA is made in favour of a person outside the blood relation? |

Hello, I'm basically from Chennai, purchased a property in Thirumazhisai(near Poonamalle) area some 20 years back, which was a corner plot joining a 40 ft and 30ft road. As per the layout drawing and the patta, the total land area is around 2492 sqft. But recently only we just decided to construct a compound wall, in order to protect the property. But to our surprise, when we do the actual measurements in the land area, we area finding it that there is shortage of around 200 sqft area. The plot is surrounded by empty plots, with different survey numbers on its two sides and by the roads on its other 2 sides. So in this case, what is the solution? In case, in the future if we want to sell this property, then, how this can be corrected? Thanks in advance for the answers. |

I have a flat in mumbai , but reside in another city . I have been trying to rent out the flat but have not been able to because of how the society is harassing us . First of all they have a broker of their own and would not allow anyone else to rent a flat there , everything has to be done through this guy . Second they are not allowing people of certain profession to reside eg- lawyers , tv/film people , media , ngo etc . i understand them not allowing bachelors but how can they stop us from giving it on rent to a certain family with a particular profession . I wanted to know what i could do here |

A brother sold a property and purchased a flat. Since he was not in India at the time of registration, the flat was registered in his sister's name, and the amount was transferred to her bank account and paid from there. He claimed reinvestment benefit under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, he is not listed as a co-owner in the sale deed. Does the property fall under the category of benami? |
