Building plan approval

I'm a retired school teacher and with my savings I bought a price of land in a gated layout (for security reasons) in Kotagiri Nilgiris. All the necessary NOCs have been submitted. But after 2¹/² years, my application has been rejected. The reason cited is that the gated layout is illegal and all development has been done illegally. This was also not informed to us by the developer not by the sub registrar at the time if registration. I'm not financially in a condition to bribe and get my approval. There are already 15 houses in this layout, some of whom have received their approval recently. I understand that the DTCP have filed a case against the developer, but that can hoon for years.
Is there a way out for me? Or is this the end of my dream for which I saved for over 50 years just so that I can retire and live peacefully?

Regd will and succession law

Hello sir I have a query. we have a joint property in Delhi. Three floors villa distributed to three sons one floor to each son, (BY WAY OF PARTITION) who have been living here since construction by our father(SELF ACQUIRED) 40 years back. We also have one sister who is living in Himachal after her marriage. As per REGD.WILL of our father+mother(both expired) QUOTE" we exclude our daughter from getting any share in this property under this will. In case three sons want to construct further floors as permissible under law, three sons are entitled to the same in equal shares".UNQUOTE. However in the last para of REGD WILL it is written QUOTE" In case my three sons decide to sell or transfer or in any way alienate the said property then in that case the 10% of sale consideration shall be given to the sister or her legal rep.UNQUOTE.
(1) How to legally enforce the will in case sister refuses to sign NOC/REL. DEED and what will be court fee in that case.
(2) Does sister have any share in this property as per interpretation of WILL....... if we demolish and make new 4 floors thru a builder (one floor given to builder)

What is the meaning of possession (legally) of apartment

Dear Experts,

Pranam🙏

The term possession is bit confusing among the owners of our Apartments.

A1. Actually what is exactly the definition or meaning of "Possession" in the case of Apartments?
A2. Whether in Apartments property related issues (legal or not) the interpretation of the word 'possession' is different than the word/terminology used as "legal possession" OR "possession in legal terms" ?
A3. I guess possession is exactly associated with a date. Whether this date is the Registration date of that particular flat? OR the ownership transferred date (from the builder/developer to owner)?
A4. In case of a legal dispute, which date will be considered as the date of possession?
NB: Please note, that our builder is not fixed a date for the possession, he just handed over the keys on different dates to each owner - I mean there was not a possession hand over date in our case.

A5. RERA norms or any other State LSGD property Rules specifying a five year terms of guarantee by the builders to the owners as I understand? From which date, the five year terms of guarantee will commence? From this date of possession or registration?

We have some issues with our builder related to the RERA/PMC property norms, in that case how can we consider a particular "date of possession/hand over of flat" which has not been carried out officially?

Anticipating your valuable opinions /advice please.
(The Apartment/property is in Kerala)

Yours faithfully
kvg

Signing on sale deed by pvt ltd company and documents etc

I purchased a plot of Land in gated plotted colony being developed by a Private Limited company in Ludhiana (Punjab). The promoters have for the first time formed this company. While signing the sale deed for registration, the company passed a resolution authorizing one of the directors to execute the sale deeds. So the said authorized director has simply put his signatures on all the pages of the sale deed without putting the company's stamp of authorized signatory. Even a copy of the resolution is not attached. Map of the colony with the marking of that particular plot also not attached with the registered sale deed delivered to me. Although that is licensed colony of GLADA and RERA, Punjab approved project. But true copies of these documents are not forming part of registered sale deed. The authorized director told me simply that resolution is already with Sub-Registrar. Kindly guide me if my sale deed is legally valid ?

Seller protection clauses in sale deed

Dear All, I am re-selling a BBMP A Khata flat in Bangalore, Karnataka.
No legal issues on the property, all taxes paid - EC/ ESwasthu obtained, BESCOM, BWSSB, Kaveri available.

I am looking for clauses that I must have to protect myself from future/ unknown legalities/issues/government new regulations etc.

For example, indemnity clauses to protect from:
1. This is a "no OC/CC" property constructed in 2007, no legal issues since then until date (until 2012/2013 none of small builders were even applying for it, including my apartment)
2. "Deviations" against approved plan in terms of setback, floor area ratio (unsure of deviation percentage), minor/medium layout deviations, constructed individual flat deviation to "achieve FAR", but only on paper.
3. Maybe "non critical couple of missing land history documents" (most of the documents are available), like 98% clean title properties but not 100% due to lack of old 1/2 originals or even unclarity; in future any litigations occur ?
4. Any other obligations

Buyer is expected to be well aware of these but what clauses seller should add in the sale deed to protect herself from above - future litigations, future changes in government regulations such as Sakrama scheme related to deviations, NOC from several other departments that may be enforced in future with additional payments required, anything else to consider ?

Please advise.

Accepting difference in sale vs registration value amount

Dear experts
Any inputs will be helpful
Queries are - I am a seller, selling an old flat (BBMP A Khata, Bangalore, Karnataka) for 55 lakhs, while guidance value is approximately 35 lakhs.
Buyer wants to register at guidance value of 35 lakhs, and pay balance amount of 20 lakhs by any means (cash, account transfer),
As per indexation, property is under loss ,even if sold for 60-62 lakhs.
1. Do I need agreement to sale (signed by buyer/seller), where actual amount of 55 lakhs is mentioned and where it is also mentioned how and when 20 lakhs would be transferred/given by buyer to seller ? or when preparing agreement to sale, it should already contain transaction details on how 20 lakhs was "already transferred" to seller - completed transactions?
Additionally, on how much stamp agreement to sale be prepared then ?
2. Can I directly enter into sale deed without doing agreement to sell - is it necessary from legal or taxation perspective? Do I need agreement to sell to be available as evidence/supporting document for additional income of 20 lakhs to me (though no tax liability as the property is under loss) ? or just producing income details from property sale (35 lakhs sale deed copy, 20 lakhs credit in account statement = 55 lakhs total income on house property)
3. The buyer has to provide amount in sale deed (35 lakhs) by "DD only" before signing the sale deed at SRO ?
Of course, the buyer should, by any means, provide the balance 20 lakhs before signing sale deed, right ?
4. Should the sale deed contain "exactly same clauses" from previous sale deed + additional new transaction that is being done on first page; or buyer can add more clauses in the new sale deed ? In essence, will it be a copy of previous sale deed with just new transaction being added ?

I do not want to accept cash or do any grey transactions
How do I safe guard my interest to take full amount of 55lakhs, safe guard any future issues in property, before singing sale deed and transferring property to buyer ?
Do I need to have a lawyer accompany me to SRO to see through the process and handovers ?
