गृहकर्ज, त्रिपक्षीय करार आणि रेरा तक्रार

मालमत्तांचे आणि जागांचे वाढते भाव लक्षात घेता, बहुतांश मालमत्तांच्या व्यवहारात कर्ज घेतले जाते. मालमत्ता खरेदीचे बांधकामाच्या स्थितीनुसार दोन मुख्य प्रकार आहेत. एक- बांधकाम पूर्ण होऊन ताबा मिळण्यास तयार असलेले. आणि दुसरे, बांधकाम चालू असलेले. ताबा तयार असलेली जागा घ्यायची झाल्यास त्याबाबतीत कर्जाचा व्यवहारात तुलनेने सोपा आणि सरळ असतो. जागेचा मोबदला ठरतो, व्यवहार आणि करार होतो, बाकी औपचारिकता पूर्ण केल्या की कर्ज देणारी संस्था विकणाऱ्याच्या नावे पैसे देते आणि मग खरेदीदाराचे मासिक हप्ते (ई.एम.आय.) सुरू होतात. बांधकाम सुरू असलेल्या आणि ताबा मिळायला अवकाश असलेल्या जागांच्या कर्जाचे व्यवहार हे काहीसे किचकट असतात. या व्यवहारांमध्ये व्यवहार आणि करार होऊन औपचारिकता पूर्ण झाली की लगेच सगळी कर्जरक्कम दिली जात नाही. सर्वसाधारणत: बांधकामाच्या प्रगतीच्या प्रमाणात कर्जाची रक्कम विकासकास देण्यात येते (डिस्बर्समेंट). जेवढे बांधकाम झाले तेवढय़ाच प्रमाणात कर्जरक्कम दिली गेल्याने, साहजिकच ग्राहक किंवा खरेदीदारास मासिक हप्तासुद्धा दिल्या गेलेल्या रकमेच्या प्रमाणातच भरावा लागतो. ग्राहकांच्या दृष्टीने ...

Hsg societies to face strict action if they overcharge any member

As  complaints  rise, stringent order issued on legal action to be taken on cooperative committees that charge over Rs 25,000 as transfer fees While cooperative housing societies are notorious for imposing some of the strictest rules for residency, they have now received a rap on the knuckles themselves from the government for exploiting new members that come to them. After receiving several complaints that such societies are illegally levying extra transfer charges and transfer premiums from flat owners, the state commissioner for cooperation and registrar of cooperative societies has cracked down on these inconsistencies, issuing a stringent order to all deputy district registrars (DDR) of co-operative societies to initiate legal action against offending office-bearers, if found guilty of such actions. The order, issued on August 10, has further stated that any managing committee discovered perpetrating such acts will be disqualified from contesting intra-society elections ...

RAINWATER HARVESTING – THE SOLUTION TO OUR WATER CRISIS

Image
WATER CRISIS TROUBLING YOUR HOUSING SOCIETY? Has your housing society been facing constant water cuts due to shortage in water supply? Is investing in water tankers and booster pumps the permanent solution? RAINWATER HARVESTING – THE SOLUTION TO OUR WATER CRISIS If implemented properly, the cost of a water harvesting or recycling system, would be minimal compared to its gains. Rainwater Harvesting involves the process of diverting rainwater from surfaces to tanks or into the ground, for use at a later stage. Underground tanks can be used, to store the rainwater and it can be used for flushing or gardening. However, the amount of water that can be stored, is limited by the size of tank. Hence, an alternative method, is to dig bore-wells in the ground and divert the rainwater into it, to recharge the ground water. From bore-wells, this potable water can be pumped for daily use. By using harvested rainwater, housing complexes and individual households can reduce their dependence on munic...
