Thanks for sharing that perspective. I w...Hi Ravi,<br /> Thanks for sharing that perspective. I would really like to know the age ranges and kind of professions these people come from if you do not mind. Simply because I doubt if their incomes fall in the range suggested by NCAER.<br />Now coming to the report. Even if we take the household with the highest income of 17 lacs and consider, as per the report, that he will spend 50% on his own expenses, then it comes out that he can afford an EMI of around 70K per month. I am considering that the incomes quoted are after tax. Now that is an amount that could make anyone nervous especially when one thinks that he will have to pay that amount over and over for the next 180 months at least. And if the interest rates go up, it will become worse. And yes it will also mean that the concerned household will have very little by way of savings for any other future needs like retirement, child education, health emergencies etc. Does this mean that the so called middle class people are actually going out on a limb and taking such big risks to buy homes that cost around a crore ? <br />Finally, though I am sceptical about the middle class purchasing power claim, I really appreciate that you share these things. It gives an idea of how there are buyers for these obscenely expensive houses (middle class or not).AB archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563963127746208830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-90822746750901270292012-06-18T15:34:53.753+05:302012-06-18T15:34:53.753+05:30Wondeful post , thanksWondeful post , thanksTilak Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147661600339818928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-78672593886693253192012-06-18T12:48:36.102+05:302012-06-18T12:48:36.102+05:30Dear AB Archives,

Because if they do afford,as you claim, then they are anything but middle class. Foxbat is totally correct when he says that only people purchasing these flats are the ones with black money which includes small to big businessmen and government employees( of all grades). Mind you, none of these people are middle class. Unless some one has changed the definition of middle class to include people who have black money stashed away in their bathrooms !AB archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563963127746208830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-61333027260966011272012-06-17T07:38:15.634+05:302012-06-17T07:38:15.634+05:30Daer Shashibhushan,

You become part of an accountable and controlled neighbourhood <br />2. Your rights are not affected. You can still lease, mortgage or transfer property <br />3. You can avail of a loan on your apartment"<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amanora.com/privately_managed" rel="nofollow">Amanora Park Town at Hadapsar Pune is Privately Managed</a><br /><br />Our ideas of "ownership" are outdated!<br />One has to always remember that in Indian Republic, "Right to Property" is not a "fundamental right".<br /><br />In Indian Republic, Right to Property is only a "Constitution Right". <br /><br />Right to property<br />The Constitution originally provided for the right to property under Articles 19 and 31. Article 19 guaranteed to all citizens the right to acquire, hold and dispose of property. Article 31 provided that "no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law." It also provided that compensation would be paid to a person whose property has been taken for public purposes.<br />The provisions relating to the right to property were changed a number of times. The Forty-Forth Amendment of 1978 deleted the right to property from the list of fundamental rights[45] A new provision, Article 300-A, was added to the constitution which provided that "no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law". Thus if a legislature makes a law depriving a person of his property, there would be no obligation on the part of the State to pay anything as compensation. The aggrieved person shall have no right to move the court under Article 32. Thus, the right to property is no longer a fundamental right, though it is still a constitutional right. If the government appears to have acted unfairly, the action can be challenged in a court of law by citizens.[39]<br />The liberalisation of the economy and the government's initiative to set up special economic zones has led to many protests by farmers and have led to calls for the reinstatement of the fundamental right to private property.[46] The Supreme Court has sent a notice to the government questioning why the right should not be brought back but in 2010 the court rejected the PIL [47]<br />As in 2007 the supreme court unanimously said that the fundamental rights are a basic structure of the constitution and cannot be removed or diluted<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_Rights_in_India#Right_to_property" rel="nofollow">Fundamental Rights in India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a>Ravi Karandeekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681035021606018101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-34514780661089988812012-06-17T07:20:53.881+05:302012-06-17T07:20:53.881+05:30Of course, since I am citizen of Pune and associat...Of course, since I am citizen of Pune and associated with Pune real estate market for so long, I am also responsible for the present state of Pune.<br /><br />However, I don't agree with your statement:<br /><br />I feel that people like you are responsible for ordinary Maharashtrians not getting homes in Pune. Only 92 lacs? Forget about an ordinary Maharashtraian, where is even an IT guy who earns Rs. 1 Lac PM going to get all that money with 90K EMI? This leaves only people who earn in black to purchase those appartments.<br /><br />Don't under estimate the purchasing capacity of middle class Maharashtrians & Punekar. Today, you can earn enough "white money" to buy a 1 - 3 crore home without committing crime. <br /><br />Besides IT, there are other industries and professions in which you can earn well. <br /><br />You know? The Public Relations consultant, who had organized this press conference, has recently booked a 3 BHK Flat with 2 car parks for Rs. 1.75 Crore. He is not a criminal.

The supposed "owner" could be asked to vacate then. It is another point that I understand that current buildings are built to last around 30 years. Also, it is fine to say that I would sell it before that, but the question is what would happen as the end is approached. Obviously the price would depreciate over time.<br /><br />Is this "lease" thing part of Government of Maharashtra's Township act? I don't see it in other townships?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />ShashiShashibhushan Gokhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871344175567641007noreply@blogger.com
