Cheklist of Important Documents before buying the Property.

Vastu generally refers to a shelter or building that is meant as adwelling or place for habitation by human beings. Vastu includemany kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to high-rise apartment buildings. There are so

many things to consider when buying a Vastu and often the mostimportant documents are forgotten. Ensure you check therelevant list of documents by taking our handy viewing checklistwith you on your viewing.

Sale agreement :

It's a paper world all over again. Every transaction, every deal hasto be verified by papers that are duly signed and registered. Thisdocument is one of them, and hands over ownership rights fromthe seller to you and binds you two together.

Registration :

The final step for you to be the legal owner of your property isregistration where the stamped document needs to be registeredwith the Registrar of Properties.

Approved plans :

Construction sites and their projects need to be approved by themunicipal corporation so that banks are sure that the project islegal and sticks to all governmental requisites and safety

regulations. These are known as the plans, drawings or layouts of the property.

Layout :

No one blindly gets into anything. Sometimes you can visualize withthe help of words but the work is so much simpler with a properpicture in front of you. This is where layouts come in. Thisdocument is available with the builder and shows us the site of the

3 4



construction and how it will look when completed. It is only requiredby the HFI (Housing Finance Institute) if the project you areinvesting n s not part of the pre-approved ist of projects.

Commencement certificate :

It is also provided by the municipal corporation and indicates the

exact location of the project. It is also a permit for the developerto start construction on the project.

Completion certificate / Occupation certificate :

It is a crucial document given by the municipal corporations to thedeveloper after the completion of formalities ike

a) Getting water and electricity connection

b) Completing the construction as per given permissions, etc.

Conveyance Deed :

After the project is complete, the developer must form a society inwhose favor he must transfer the property and convey its title.This deed is proof of the transfer. The land owner and propertyowner can be different and this deed is used more often in suchcases.

Possession etter :

The completion of the property is official when you receive thisletter from the developer. It states that the property can be

occupied and also displays the payments still to be made by youbefore you can be given the keys. Based on this letter, the HFInormally release the final disbursement.

Allotment etter :

When you are given a property, an allotment letter is issued by thedevelopment authority to authenticate the transaction.

7 / 12 extract :

7/12 extract is a document, which shows the names of the ownersof the property. It contains details such as the Survey numbers,area, date from which the current owner's names were registeredas owners. The 7/12 extract is issued by the Tehsildar or theconcerned land authorities.

Survey nos:

Names are oft repeated and therefore, numbers serve as a moreuseful and helpful form of identification. Like employeeidentification codes, plots of land also have their ownidentification numbers so that it is easy to understand which plotof land is being discussed. This is a number given to every plot of land and is usually used when properties do not fall under theurban development plans of the Town Planning Authority.

City survey nos :This is the same as survey numbers except that it is used forproperties that fall under the urban development plans of the TownPlanning Authority.

Load bearing construction :

All constructions require slabs and columns in their constructionfor balance and distribution of weight and pressure. The larger theconstruction and the more the number of floors, the more thenumber of slabs and columns used in its construction andtherefore the more the load. In a construction having only 1-2floors, the load is borne by the walls not slabs/columns and so thecost here is far lower than that in a framed construction.

Listed below are some of the things that have to be kept in mindwhile purchasing a residential property:

1. Locality: Proximity to transport hubs, schools, hospitals,

5 6



market, central business district, entertainment centers,hotels, restaurants, pollution levels, safety records of theneighborhood.

2. Total area of the property i.e. Carpet + Built Up Area +Super Built Up Area.

3. Adequate car parking space.4. Construction should be of a high quality.

5. Reputation of the builder or seller. Check around with localsources to find out more of the builders reputation.

6. Adequate water, electricity and other utilities should be animportant factor.

7. Get a good idea of the costs of various components likeprice, stamp duty, registration charges, transfer fees,

monthly outgoings, society charges & costs of utilities.

8. Assess the potential resale value or the potential rentalincome of the property.

9. List out any other advantages and disadvantages of theproperty to help make a better decision.

ULC [Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act] –

The ULC Act is a social legislation vide which the Government hasset a limit on the maximum permissible vacant land holding by a

single entity in an urban agglomeration. Depending on the locationand zone classification, this maximum limit varies from 500 sq.Mts. to 1500 sq. Mts. This excess vacant land is liable foracquisition by the respective State Government. Any vacant landholding beyond this limit would require an exemption under varioussections from the ULC authorities, which is governed by the UrbanDevelopment (U.D) department. The land may be exempted if the

concerned authorities are convinced that by the acquisition of thisvacant land there would be undue hardship caused to the owner or if the owner manages to convince the concerned authorities that thisvacant land needs to be held in public interest. Other than thesereasons, there may be various other reasons, which the authoritiesmay consider to provide exemption to this land.

When such vacant land is sought to be developed for housingschemes, the schemes have to be developed as per the norms andguidelines lie down by the concerned authorities and need to benecessarily sold to beneficiaries who fall under certain specifiedsections/categories mentioned in the permission.

Plinth:

The ground floor level is normally about 3 feet above the level of theground level. This portion of the structure is formed by a network of beams and filled in with stones, gravel, etc. This portion is called the

plinth.

Stamp Duty & Registration:

Payments of Stamp duty followed by the registration of theagreement are two important acts when one enters into anagreement with a developer/seller. Both, the developer/seller and thepurchaser need to be present at the sub-registrars office forregistering the agreement.

Stamp Duty:

Stamp duty is a State subject and hence would vary from state tostate. The stamp duty in many states is paid as per the Truemarket value as assessed by the Stamp Office. When an agreementis to be stamped, it needs to be unsigned and undated and after theStamp Office affixes stamps on the agreement, one may executethe agreement. The Stamp Duty payable in various states could beascertained from the Stamp Duty Calculator provided.

Registration of an agreement:

The agreement should be registered with the Sub-registrar of assurances under the provisions of the Indian Registration Act.Stamp duty should be paid prior to the Registration.

Non Agricultural (N.A) permission –

If the land under consideration is agricultural land and if oneintends to develop the said land for residential/ commercial/industrial use, then such agricultural land has to be converted tonon-agricultural land and an N.A order has to be obtained from theCollector of the District where the property is located. Along withthis, one needs to take the latest receipts evidencing the paymentof N.A. tax. In cases where the conversion from agricultural use toNA use is not done within the stipulated period then, there should bean order from the concerned authority extending the period.Development Agreement is entered into by the builder with the

landowner. It contains details regarding the terms and conditionson which the landowner has permitted development of his property.This is where the landowner engages a third party (i.e. the developer)to develop and build on their plot of land. This agreement is generallyaccompanied by a Power of Attorney in favor of the developer.

Approved building plans need to be checked necessarily. The plansmust be approved by the Municipal Corporation/ Town Planningauthority or other concerned authorities like CIDCO, MHADA,HUDCO, Gram Panchayat, etc. as applicable depending on the

location of the project.

Commencement certificate is given by the Municipal Corporationpermitting the developer to begin construction. This is done once theplans have been approved.

Completion/occupation certificate is given by the concernedauthorities to the developer once the said building is complete in allrespects and fit for occupation.

Foundation:

This is the portion of the building, which is below the ground level.Base of foundation spreads the load of the building on thesoil/rocks below, on which the structure would rest.

RCC:

This acronym stands for Reinforced Cement Concrete. Normallymost of the buildings being constructed these days would be RCC.The RCC framework would comprise of the columns, beams, slabs,staircase all of which would be reinforced with steel. The frames areessentially formed of columns and beams, the columns arebounded by beams which are connected to each other by crossbeams. A framed structure is better resistant toearthquakes/vibrations. Columns are vertical pillars made of RCC,which are connected horizontally by beams also of RCC. If anyinternal modifications have to be carried out in a flat one needs

take the services of an architect, which would then ascertain thecolumn and beam positions. The columns and beams have toremain untouched during subsequent internal modifications if any,because they form and hold the entire structure of the building inplace.

Slabs are horizontal RCC platforms, which form the ceiling/floor of the flat. The payment schedules of the developers are usuallyconnected to the casting of slabs. Each slab is cast with RCC andthe casting of the next slab would usually follow in a period of 45 to

60 days.Plumbing & Wiring:

Plumbing and electrical wiring these days is usually concealed i.e. itis covered by the internal plaster and hence the pipes and wires arenot visible from outside except for the electric points and plumbingoutlets. Concealed plumbing and wiring would normally precedeinternal plastering. If the plumbing and wiring is not concealed it

9 10



would succeed the nternal plastering.

Walls:

Walls are either made of bricks or concrete blocks. In an RCC framedstructure the outer walls would normally be 9 inches or more andinner walls would be four and a half inches or more. The walls arenormally constructed over the beams, which transmit the load ofthese walls to the foundation through the columns. The walls wouldbe plastered externally and nternally.

Flooring:

The flooring is usually done subsequent to internal plastering.Flooring would include lining up the internal side of the walls with 4to 6 inch tiles and this process is called skirting. The water closet(W/C) similarly would usually be lined upto 3 to 4 feet on the sideswith ceramic tiles apart from the flooring.

Property card :

This is available where the place forms a part of the urbandevelopment plans as per the Town Planning Authority. Everythingelse s similar to the 7/12 extract.

Carpet Area:

Carpet area may be defined as the net useable area. Until twodecades back flats were sold on this basis. Carpet area is the areafrom the inner sides of wall to wall. However this concept is rarely

used today and as a result, flats today are generally sold on thebasis of Built up area and super built up area.

Built up Area (BUA):

BUA, over and above the carpet area, would include the spacecovered by the thickness of the inner and outer walls of the flat. TheBUA thus would generally be around 15% more than the carpet area

of the flat. Thus for a carpet area of 1000 Sq.ft. the BUA couldwork out to be 1150 Sq.ft approximately.

Super Built up Area:

Super BUA, apart from the BUA, is said to include theproportionate common areas on the floor like the passage,

staircase, etc. This would usually be around 25 to 35% of theCarpet area. However, there is a tendency of loading even thecommon areas of the building / project like the garden, open area,clubhouse and other recreational facilities. It is to be noted thatthe above mentioned concepts are for the sake of information onlyand does not in anyway convey our concurrence to the practice ofselling at the super built up area. Hence it would be incorrect toassume the above mentioned mark ups as a rule, since theinformation provided is solely with the purpose of educating peopleabout these terms. At this point it would also be imperative to

mention that there appears to be no regulatory control over the %loading of area over the carpet area for the purposes of sale on thebasis of BUA/SBUA.

VASTU SHASTRA

Vastu Shastra is a very old Indian science of Architecture. AncientIndian sages and rishis created Vastu Shastra for the welfare ofthe entire humanity. Its knowledge enables us to get benefits ofmental peace, health, wealth etc. and make our life happy. This

science, after propounding the rules of construction, goes to provethat by constructing properly our buildings, villages, towns, cities,shops, offices, factories and industries we can make ourselves

prosperous. believes in his client's well being

and thus provides them the optimal vastu remedies for all theirproblems. We are expertise in providing "Remedies withoutDemolition.

In ancient times the human habitats were generally constructedaccording to the rules of Vastu Shastra and people lived happily. In

those days the members of a joint family used to be content,prosperous and happy. The Vastu Shastra is founded upon thelaws of nature. The equilibrium, we observe in the nature is easilyperceivable by us in all moving bodies, but unfortunately we areunable to note this equilibrium in static bodies. This is the eternalrule of nature and t has no place for any ogic, doubt or debate.

ENERGY FLOW

The directions of East and West are important as far as obtainingthe energy from the sun is concerned. The importance of the

directions of the North and the South lies in the flow of magneticwaves which flows from North Pole to South Pole. Thereforesouthward portion of every building should be higher than thenorthward portion.

Shifting the focus of designThe answer requires a shift in focus—and this shift occurs onevery level.First, we need to shift the way that we think about design—andunderstand why we must design not only to please the eye but thebody.

Second, we need to shift the focus of our design goal when we setout to design or organize the nterior of any room.Picture perfect? Not alwaysWe all know what happens when we take a picture of a perfecthair-cut to the salon and ask the stylist to give us this cut.The good stylist will explain that the hair-do works on the head

of that model with the specific needs of her hair, but it won'tnecessarily work on our own head with the needs of our ownhair. But many other “stylists” will gamily snip away—and toooften when we look in the mirror, the results prove that whatworks for one doesn't work for everyone else.This same principle is true with design. So many of us snippictures from magazines of rooms that illustrate what we likewhen we are about to design a room in our home. But when we tryto replicate these chosen images in our home, we blame the failureor qualified results on our own ack of skill.

Why picture perfect is not good enoughBut our own needs—meaning, in this instance, the way we live inour home, and the architectural realities of our own home aredifferent. The rooms that we see in magazines are often stagedand don't reflect real living… and even if we are just choosingcolors for our walls based on these images, these pictures canlead us astray.We need to remember that what works for one room doesn't workfor every room. Always test your choices before you make theplunge. Slap huge squares of colors on the wall. Then feel what

that color does to you at different times of the day. Does it makeyou feel warm? Cool? Calm? Does it draw you into the room? Ordoes t stop you n your tracks, ike a stop sign?It's not just what we see—but what we feel. It's not about thevisual but the visceral. Not about pleasing the eye but the entirebody. And this s true about everything associated with design

Improving Health

We hope you find this informative and are encouraged to learn more

about the Vastu.

We live in a stress-filled time where rapidly changing technology israpidly changing our lives. Many of today's so-called “creaturecomforts” rob us of a deeper comfort that once accompanied amore manageable lifestyle. Far too many of us are frazzled,overwhelmed, and battling with stress.

helps eliminate the stress that is attached tothese environments. Vastu, the Vedic science of design andarchitecture, recognizes that harmony within and without comesfrom observing our proper relationship with every space we inhabit.In a nutshell, before we can achieve internal peace, we need to findexternal peace—we need to make positive use of the power of

space. shows us how to do this by designing

according to vastu's philosophy of holism. We create interiors thatconsciously show respect for all creation. This respect naturallyextends to the self. We design spaces that honor our needs and

protect us from harm, including the harm that comes from stress.

Again, every design decision has a predictable impact on the

human body. takes them all into account.
