Stock market correction is generally perceived to be the time for fresh entry or buying more stocks. Right? It is not only seasonerd investors but even the immatures ones also try best to time the market.

Union Budget has been a hit in terms of the PR & headlines management. But it has largely failed to address the concerns of the Indian middle class reeling under hyper-inflation, lower wage growth, rising property prices, depleting domestic savings and increasing household debt.

It’s not that I don’t stand with the builders where the support is due on principled ground. I can easily recall how in the year 2017 I had to stand by a builder who was being harassed by the powerful CEO of a powerful development body. The bureaucrat had demanded one apartment, and denial led to bulldozing over the project boundary walls much after grant of OC & CC. As a journalist, I was with the builder for a sting operation and also sent him to a couple of TV news channels to air his grievances. The officer’s troll army had a field day against me, but I stood my ground till the bureaucrat was transferred. Will an anti-builder journalist do that?
In a landmark judgment the Supreme Court has said that the builders can now only deduct up to 10% of the base price for cancellations. A bench of Justice B R Gavai and S V N Bhatt said that the contractual terms which are one-sided, unfair and unreasonable can not be enforced and would constitute unfair trade practice. Unfortunately, the judgment has not been delivered against any small-time builder, but the corporate conglomerate Godrej Properties, which argued that it should be allowed to forfeit 20% of the amount as per agreement with the buyer. Track2Realty finds there are even larger questions that remained unanswered about builders’ arbitrary cancellations, forfeit of money and unfair contract.
