Be a smart property buyer.. ask your builder for the CIDC-CQRA Certificate before booking a flat

  1. Do not get fooled by this. Pune realty is on the way to a deep bottom. The Quality site you are talking about now carries only a broken link. Buyers beware. The only reason the link can be broken is that there are heavy political interests at play, that can even override the planning commission / govt. of india safeguards for citizens.
