Yamuna Expressway Residential Plot Scheme Extended till 15th May,2009
The notice says that the Scheme has been extended till 15th May,2009 due to demand from Public. however the real reason behind extendind the date seems :
1.With the current downtrend in Real estate prices, investors are worried about the returns from the Scheme
2.The Rate of Rs. 4,750 per Sq. Mtr. is considered to be aggressive given that the Scheme may take at least 8-10 years to develop.
3.Investors have doubts about the progress on the proposed Noida - Agra Expressway itself and any dealy on this project would also delay development under the Scheme.
4.The Agra Noida area is more prone to petty crimes and hence reduce the attractiveness of the scheme from Safety point of view.
TATA LAUNCHES "NANO HOMES"
The company said the model, offering apartments of 283 sq ft, 360 sq ft and 465 sq ft, in the price band of Rs 3.9 lakh-6.7 lakh, would be replicated across tier I and II cities.
Booking starts from May11,2009 and forms would be available for Rs. 200. Allotment would be made on basis of Lottery draw.
Shubh Griha project
Announcing the launch of the project, Shubh Griha, of about 1,200 units, Brotin Banerjee, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tata Housing, said, "We observed that since most of the people in the low-income bracket live away from their families to earn a livelihood in the big cities, there is a large percentage of migrant population living in either rented or company provided accommodation.
"Our study shows that around 48 per cent in the lower segment are currently staying in rented accommodation. As a real estate company, we are sensitive to the need of providing this segment with their own home along with a community life. We believe in empowering them and giving them the pride of owning a house."
Community concept
He said though it was priced at an entry level, the 'neighbourhood and community' concept would change the conventional residential choice available for this segment of consumers today.
With a balanced mix of buildings and open spaces, the projects would be constructed under the guidance of Indian Green Building Council.
The low-cost housing units at Boisar would be built on about eight acres of a total of 63 acres, which will also have homes in the affordable segment, besides shopping, hospital, schools and other amenities, in subsequent phases.
Banerjee said revenues from the sale of low cost units alone would be over Rs 80 crore, while declining to furnish the total project cost. The units would be delivered in two years.
Booking Process
Applicants can purchase application form costing Rs 200 from select SBI branches across Mumbai. The bookings should be made with an initial booking amount of Rs 10,000 at the bank branches.
The first list and the waiting list will be declared after scrutiny of applications. The allottees would be intimated by Tata Housing along with payment schedule

Distress Sales On Anvil,Developers Have Finally Start Lowering Their Prices But Customer Want's More
The findings from two different surveys reveal as much. While DTZ International Property Advisor's Demand Analysis and Real Estate Trends (DART) Survey 2009 focusses on the trends in the commercial office space rental market, property portal Makaan.com's Me, My Home and Property Rates consumer survey looks at the residential segment.
DTZ's research, in fact, reveals why customers are still holding on to their horses. "If you compare today's rentals with the peak values of end-2007 prices are down by 20-25 per cent, with another 10-15 per cent correction expetced this year," points out Anshul Jain, CEO (India), DTZ.
Its DART survey, which covered 48 companies across Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, reveals that 70 per cent of the respondents do not expect the market to bottom out before the next six months-- clearly indicating that they will be driving some hard bargains with the developers for lease rentals. In fact, renegotiation of rentals, by at least 10-15 per cent, tops the agenda of these companies.
Residential property: Roping in the fence sitters How much discount will attract how many buyers?
*21% home seekers expect discount greater than 30%
*23% home seekers want discount between 20-30%
*21% home seekers expect discount between 10-20%
*14% home seekers seek discount up to 10%
*21% home seekers willing to buy even at current price levels
Interestingly, a significant percentage of the occupiers 19 per cent are also using the current downturn in the realty segment to relocate to more upmarket areas that are now more affordable.

NEW PENSION SCHEME (NPS)
The design of the new system is simple. The National Security Depository Limited (NSDL) will be record keeper and six entities selected by PFRDA will be the fund managers. The fund managers will manage different plans that comprise of equity, government securities and corporate bonds. These plans will obviously have different combinations of risk and returns.
The distinguishing feature of the NPS is the amazingly low cost. The annual cost of record-keping is Rs 380, each transaction will cost Rs 6 and the most amazing of all-the investment management fee is 0.009 % p.a. Why is low cost so important? Because the magic of compounding over the long time horizonwill make its beneficial impact magnified massively.
There are some drawbacks to the NPS too. The biggest is that it really is a pension scheme, not an investment. You can't withdraw the money till you are sixty years old, except for critical illnesses and for building or buying one house. Even at sixty, you can only withdraw as cash 60 per cent of the corpus, the rest must be used to buy an annuity. That's not a bad thing by itself.
Aanother big disadvantage of the NPS is that its gains will be taxable. However, this is obviously a blunder on the government's part and one expects it to be corrected if the NPS is to take off at all. Either NPS gains will be made tax-free or competing systems like the EPFO will also be made taxable.
