Maintenance charges to builder in absence of housing society

I had purchased ready built flat on 26.11.2012 in a building consisting of 10 flats from Shri T.K. Joshi, doing Real Estate business in the name and style of "Lakshmi Developers". As per agreement, Maintenance Charges @ Rs.1686.00 per month was paid to the builder in a lump for three years period ending 25.11.2015. After completion of said three years, the builder continued levying maintenance charges in the absence of Co-operative Housing Society. Now maintenance charges are increased from Rs.1686.00 to Rs.2248.00 per month + GST @ 18%. Though the builder is doing his real state business in the name and style of "Lakshmi Developers" but he is claiming maintenance charges by cheque in the name of "Lakshmi Developers Vrindavan". The property is within jurisdiction of Gram Panchayat in Thane District of Maharashtra State. The Gram Panchayat is not providing any civil amenities to the residents because the builder has not cleared old outstanding dues of Gram Panchayat. The civil amenities being provided by the builder is sub-standard. Now my points for clarification from expert are as below:

(1) Whether GST @18% can be paid :

(i) to "Lakshmi Developers Vrindavan" which is not registered under GST;

(ii) the monthly maintenance charges are below threshold limit of Rs.7500/-;

(iii) the annual turnover of "Lakshmi Developers Vrindavan" is below 20.00 lakh;

(2) Whether higher rate of Maintenance Charge is payable to the builder, who is not initiating for formation of a Co-op. Housing Society, and providing only sub-standard Civil amenities.

(3) Whether the builder can delay the payments of old outstanding dues of Gram Panchayat and thereby deprive the residents to avail standard amenities from local authorities.


Note: Civil amenities, wherever mentioned in the above query means "Services and Maintenance".

Pan no not available during sale of property

A flat in Mumbai is jointly held by the mother and 2 adult daughters. The mother and elder daughter are NRIs holding PAN cards. The younger daughter has given up her Indian citizenship and is now a foreign passport holder.
The family is interested in selling the property. Since 1% TDS is applicable for sale of property valued above 50L how does one go about when there is no PAN card with one of the owners.

Right of new tax deductor.

Sir,
One employee has been posted in my department and the TDS amount to be deducted from his salary as shown in his Last Pay Certificate issued and signed by his previous employer is NIL.
I doubt on the TDS amount shown in his LPC, so I asked him to furnish the other document if any so as to establish how your TDS amount arrived at 'NIL'.
The employee has denied to furnish any documentary evidence but rather told me to go with the amount shown in his LPC. He further said "under which provision of IT Act you have the right to deny the amount shown in my LPC and under which provision you are asking for the document.
So my question to the learned members are :-
1. Should I go with the TDS figure shown in LPC or re-assess his TDS amount and deduct the calculated amount. ?
2. If I should re-assess and start deduction accordingly then under which provision I as a Deductor have the right to do so legally.

Power of attorney to sell a house.

Me and my sister have inherited a house (Karnataka) from my father's side. The property is still under the name of my father. We have not changed the joint ownership (khata) to our names. We intend to sell the house now.

Since I will be going abroad very soon, I cannot be present during the entire process of changing the khata and selling the house. For this reason, I intend to give a power of attorney to my sister to do the entire transaction on my behalf too.

My questions are:
1. Is it possible to give such a power of attorney?
2. What are the documents required?
3. What is the format of such a power of attorney?
