Legal Charges to be paid in cash at the time of registration of property agreement at Pune:
Sub-registrar office, Hinjewadi |
Look what I found in "Pittara" !
While going through the property price lists collected in PROFEST 2013, organized by Credai Pune Metro, I realized that construction service providers - works contractors - in Pune expect us to pay "Legal Charges". Some call it 'Miscellaneous expenses". But, at the time of registration of agreement of your flat, you are supposed to pay this amount in cash.
Don't ask why in cash! Corruption and black money is the life line of those who are in power.
However, we all know that Choron ki bhi neeyat hoti hai.
May be because of that the biggest builder in Pune real estate market, which registers highest number of property agreements - gets a bulk discount. So, "Legal Charges" for a flat in Kumar Properties' any project are only Rs. 3,500.
Whereas, majority of the builders expect you to pay Rs. 5,000 - in cash.
So, if you are booking a flat in UrbanGram Kirkatwadi, UrbanGram Pirangut, UrbanGram Chakan, Nirman Viva - Sai Mystique - Lake Vista at Ambegaon, D' Wisteria Park at Vadgaon, Splendid Square Lohegaon, Kushal Nivriti Kondhwa, Supreme Estado Baner - you have to pay Rs. 5,000 in cash. Irrespective of the price of property!
A 3 BHK Flat in Supreme Estado Baner goes for Rs. 1.01 to 1.07 Crore and a 2 BHK Flat at UrbanGram Kirkatwadi costs between Rs. 32.74 and 35.66 Lakhs - but Legal Charges for both are the same. Rs. 5,000 - in cash. Why? May be, because, all are equal before the law!
Some builders are given special concessions by these "men in power". That's why legal charges of Dwarka at Chakan are Rs. 2,300 & Lakeshore Residency at Talegaon - Rs. 2.500. KUL Nation at Manjri Rs. 4,000.
I have understood 'Modus Operandi' of these "Men in Power'. I was almost convinced. But when I saw that Aapla Ghar at Ranjangaon & Sanaswadi were asking Rs. 8,000 legal charges for a 1 BHK Flat of Rs. 11.35 / 11.88 Lakh and for a 2 BHK Flat between Rs. 16.81 and 17.98 Lakh - I got confused.
What is this? Rs. 8000 for a common-man's home and Rs. 10,000 for IT Professionals' home - this is not fair. Mr. Men in Power, apne baap ka na samjho maal.
You can take Rs. 10,000 legal charges in cash from an IT professional who wants to register his flat in Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar Mundhwa, BA Vermont Wagholi, 43 Privet Drive Balewadi, Yash Wisteria & Latitude at Wakad. But don't demand Rs. 8,000 legal charges from a common man who is buying a home in Aapla Ghar Housing Colony at Ranjangaon & Sanaswadi or a 2 BHK Flat costing between Rs. 27.82 to 29.56 Lakh in Savali Homes at Uruli Devachi, near Hadapsar.
Never forget that Choron ki bhi neeyat hoti hai.
Mr. men in power, please, be fair to honest & hard working construction service providers - works contractors in Pune. They are not like other builders in this country. They feel shy to ask legal charges in cash from their paymasters - home buyers in Pune. You know what? Most of the time, builders in Pune - pay you from their own pockets.
Point is, Mr. men in power, legal charges in cash is not aapke baap ka maal.
Dear readers, how am I doing? I am not blaming and bashing the builders. Because, builders are innocent. 'System' is the evil. What say you? Please, let me know in the comments.
