Indian Tycoons

Buying a new flat often comes with an attractive list of amenities — a swimming pool, gym, clubhouse, landscaped gardens, internal roads and recreational spaces. For many buyers, these facilities are an important part of the decision to purchase a particular home. But what happens when residents of another housing project also have the right to use those facilities? A recent Karnataka High Court ruling has highlighted an important issue that homebuyers should understand before signing a property deal. The court dealt with a dispute between residents of two neighbouring Bengaluru projects developed by the same builder. The residents of the first project objected to people from the second project using shared facilities. The court ultimately upheld the importance of the registered Sale Deed and the rights recorded in it . The message for homebuyers is simple: never assume that an amenity belongs exclusively to your society just because it is located there or was shown to you as part of t...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in India. Rising petrol and diesel prices, lower running costs and growing concern about pollution are encouraging more people to switch to electric cars and two-wheelers. But before buying an EV, apartment residents often have one major concern: Can I install an EV charger in my society parking space? The answer is generally yes, if you have an allotted parking space and follow the required safety and electricity procedures . However, housing societies can impose reasonable conditions, especially when electrical capacity, fire safety or building infrastructure is involved. Here is what EV owners and prospective buyers should know. Can an EV Charger Be Installed in Society Parking? For residents with an allotted parking space, installing an EV charging point is possible. The Ministry of Power has issued guidelines encouraging EV charging infrastructure and providing a framework for charging facilities in residential areas. A soc...

हाउसिंग सोसायटी में रहने वाले हर व्यक्ति को कुछ नियमों और जिम्मेदारियों का पालन करना होता है। पार्किंग, कचरा प्रबंधन, शोर, सुरक्षा और कॉमन एरिया के इस्तेमाल से जुड़े नियमों का उद्देश्य सोसायटी में शांतिपूर्ण और व्यवस्थित माहौल बनाए रखना है। लेकिन सवाल यह है कि अगर सोसायटी में रहने वाला किरायेदार इन नियमों में से किसी का उल्लंघन करता है, तो जुर्माना कौन भरेगा—किरायेदार या फ्लैट का मालिक? इसका जवाब हर मामले में एक जैसा नहीं होता। यह सोसायटी के लागू उपनियमों (Bye-laws), उल्लंघन की प्रकृति, सोसायटी और फ्लैट मालिक के बीच संबंध और मकान मालिक-किरायेदार के बीच हुए समझौते की शर्तों पर निर्भर कर सकता है। सोसायटी फ्लैट मालिक को जिम्मेदार क्यों ठहरा सकती है? कई हाउसिंग सोसायटियों में सोसायटी का औपचारिक संबंध मुख्य रूप से फ्लैट के रजिस्टर्ड सदस्य या मालिक के साथ होता है। किरायेदार को फ्लैट में रहने की अनुमति होती है, लेकिन मालिक की जिम्मेदारी यह सुनिश्चित करने की हो सकती है कि उसके फ्लैट का इस्तेमाल सोसायटी के लागू नियमों और उपनियमों के अनुसार हो। इसलिए, अगर कोई किरायेदार सोसायटी के नियमों का उल्लं...

For many Indian homeowners, selling an old property and moving into a new one is not simply a real-estate decision. It can also create an important tax liability. When a property is sold for a profit, the gain may be taxable under the Capital Gains provisions of the Income Tax Act. However, taxpayers who reinvest in another residential property may be eligible for relief under Section 54 , provided the legal conditions are satisfied. The Income Tax Department’s tax-return documentation specifically requires taxpayers claiming Section 54 relief to report details such as the original property’s transfer date, the cost of the new residential house and its purchase or construction date. A recent Delhi ITAT case has brought renewed attention to one question that could matter to thousands of homeowners: What happens if you start constructing or buy your new home before selling the old one? The answer may be more favourable than many taxpayers expect. Why the Order of Transactions Matters A ...

भारत के रियल एस्टेट सेक्टर में जमीन की कीमतें लगातार बढ़ रही हैं। खासकर बड़े शहरों में किसी प्रोजेक्ट के लिए जमीन खरीदना डेवलपर्स के लिए बेहद महंगा हो सकता है। ऐसे में Joint Development Agreement यानी JDA रियल एस्टेट की दुनिया में एक महत्वपूर्ण मॉडल बनकर उभर रहा है। JDA के तहत जमीन का मालिक अपनी जमीन देता है, जबकि डेवलपर उस जमीन पर प्रोजेक्ट विकसित करने की जिम्मेदारी लेता है। इसमें डेवलपर निर्माण, जरूरी मंजूरियों, मार्केटिंग और बिक्री जैसे काम संभाल सकता है। इसके बदले जमीन मालिक और डेवलपर के बीच पहले से तय शर्तों के अनुसार फ्लैट, दुकान, क्षेत्रफल या बिक्री से होने वाली आय का हिस्सा बांटा जाता है। इस मॉडल का सबसे बड़ा फायदा यह है कि जमीन मालिक को अपनी जमीन तुरंत बेचनी नहीं पड़ती और डेवलपर को जमीन खरीदने के लिए भारी रकम खर्च करने की जरूरत कम हो सकती है। लेकिन JDA पूरी तरह जोखिम-मुक्त भी नहीं है। इसलिए समझौते की हर शर्त को अच्छी तरह समझना बेहद जरूरी है। Joint Development Agreement क्या होता है? Joint Development Agreement जमीन मालिक और डेवलपर के बीच एक कानूनी समझौता होता है, जिसके तहत दो...

YouTube’s monetization system can look complicated, especially when the platform uses terms such as “Net Revenue,” “Premium Pool,” “Individual Share Calculation” and “Pooled Ad Revenue.” However, the basic idea is easier to understand. The latest monetization terms separate creator earnings into different categories, including regular YouTube videos, YouTube Premium, Premium Lite and YouTube Shorts. For creators, one of the biggest differences is clear: eligible regular video revenue carries a 55% creator share, while Shorts revenue carries a 45% creator share under the Shorts Monetization Module. But these percentages do not mean creators simply receive 55% or 45% of every dollar YouTube earns. The actual calculation happens through different revenue pools and eligibility rules. Regular YouTube Videos: A 55% Creator Share For regular YouTube content, the agreement refers to a Content Watch Page . This is essentially the page mainly dedicated to playing and presenting a creator’s conte...
