How would you prove the after-sale access money in your bank account if your case would be queued in the tax audit for 2020/21?

If one is selling the house what SOPs should he keep in mind as there are many buyers who merely just try to make a buck out of your property by giving you a bayana and than when the time comes they make excuses of payment and on the other hand they along with patwari try to create fake issues in your fard to make it look like your fault and not theirs. How to avoid such buyers?

[tajammal84]

Same SOP to be adopted as for plot case.

In that case make an very strict sale agreement as per value of deal, get at least 30 to 40% advance as token and clearly mention on agreement that advance/token amount will be non refundable in any case if buyer steps back without any reason. Get this agreement registered in front of commissioner land revenue, then buyer cant claim amount from you if he steps back.
Fake buyer will not agree at all to register agreement in commissioners office as he also know it's not agreement on stamp paper only but its registered sale agreement and he is giving statements in front of land commissioner in his senses and to step back will not be possible at all.

Beside above, no patwaari can declare any problem in ur docs until its genuine, so better to sort out any issues with record in advance.
Thanks

Before we begin, a frequent Q&A based interaction between the owner and the planner is a key to the success of a project and transition of ideas.
Often too personal information sharing is required like the record of the members of a family and their ages, the cultural and religious backgrounds despite just the plot planning requirements though these counts a lot.
I am not going deep into such information, yet I would like to know;
Face direction of the plot.
Surroundings of the plot (vacant or occupied)
Exact rectangle or angular.
Lawn requirement.
Garage capacity.
Kitchen placement (in front if no watchman or security cameras)
Drawing room seating capacity (with or without dinning)
Acceptable bathroom sizes.
Backyard laundry/kitchen laundry.
Ceiling height.
Stair position.

Thanks for feedback.. Front is toward south west. One side house construction is in last stage and other plot vacant.. 50 feet wide road.
Porch will be 12 feet wire and 14 feet covered area and 5 feet open area in front so total will be 19. No specific location in mind for kitchen in ground floor.. drawing in ground with capacity of 6-10 persons. Drawing and living are usually combined by some owner in ground floor to get decent space.. I am planning of keeping stairs in a way that If I separate ground from first floor and keep ground for personal use and first floor and servant room at mumty for rent

Southwest face would get the sun in the late afternoon. On which side is the under-construction building?
Is your plot in an exact rectangle shape?
Would you like to keep the front 5' spare place as a bike parking or should it be a green belt?
The porch would be 19'x12' with 14' under the terrace. As far as I know, the by-laws allow you to include the thickness of the outer walls of the main building into that 5' space which you would have to spare in front and on the back. Am I right?
Reason for asking the location of the kitchen is security. Would you like to keep an eye on the main entrance all day long or would you install security cameras and keep a watchman?
Yes, i like the dining and the kitchen close to each other along with the laundry. The reason the housekeeper would be easy to manage things well and operate the kitchen, laundry and dining at a time in the same row. Thanks to automatic washers now even you can have a builtin washing machine inside your kitchen.
For the drawing-room capacity, you better know either you would make customised new furniture in it or would you try to fit the old furniture? In the second case scenario, you have to provide the sizes of your furniture.
About the stairs, you're going to have a single bedroom on the ground floor and keeping stairs outside the living room is always good enough if you can manage your family with just one bedroom. The choice is yours.
Would you be happy with space-saving small bathrooms and keeping the maximum space in the rooms?
Would you like the wardrobes inside the bedrooms or should these be inside the bathrooms?
For what purpose would your backyard space of 5' be used?
What ceiling height recommended in the by-laws or you intend to keep?

[xzap042]

That's my concern and why I want to avoid such agreement. and that is why i was asking on the other hand would there by any potential issues if I agree to only original sale deed and not any others.

[Skill]

Under invoicing was a common practice until the property records were not online. Buyer will get the benefit of the lesser rate of the tax amount. If your deal is going to cancel because of just this reason, you can offer the buyer a little discount as per the tax-saving but convince him to make a pay order on the actual selling amount.

Thanks for suggestions..

Under construction house is on north side..size is exactly rectangle.. yes u r right. 19×12 porch is good. Front 5 feet should be used for UGWT so better is to have space for bike and cycle. Best location of kitchen is exactly as u said..behind main entry point close to porch/ external stairs as no security guard in plan but CCTV installation is in mind so will keep concealed duct for it as well as for solar system grid Tie system.. small bath like 5×6 with wardrobes in front of bath with common emtry to bath/wardrobe is in mind.. furniture will be customised as standard furniture will not settle well... picture of proposed site is plot just next to under construction brick wall house

On which side is the under-construction building?
I would keep minimum number of windows towards north.
Is your plot in an exact rectangle shape?
Would you like to keep the front 5' spare place as a bike parking or should it be a green belt?
The porch would be 19'x12' with 14' under the terrace.

Please answer.
Reason for asking the location of the kitchen is security. Would you like to keep an eye on the main entrance all day long or would you install security cameras and keep a watchman?
Yes, I like the dining and the kitchen close to each other along with the laundry. The reason the housekeeper would be easy to manage things well and operate the kitchen, laundry and dining at a time in the same row.
Do you agree? Should the dining be separate from the drawing room?
Thanks to automatic washers now even you can have a builtin washing machine inside your kitchen.
Your Openion? Backyard laundry or within the kitchen ?
For the drawing-room capacity, you better know either you would make customised new furniture in it or would you try to fit the old furniture? In the second case scenario, you have to provide the sizes of your furniture.
About the stairs, you're going to have a single bedroom on the ground floor and keeping stairs outside the living room is always good enough if you can manage your family with just one bedroom. The choice is yours.
Would you be happy with space-saving small bathrooms and keeping the maximum space in the rooms?
Would you like the wardrobes inside the bedrooms or should these be inside the bathrooms?
For what purpose would your backyard space of 5' be used?
Answer required. If you do not like the kitchen laundry concept,this space can be used for laundry.
What ceiling height recommended in the by-laws or you intend to keep?
Count of the stair steps depends upon the ceiling height. Some times there are old aged people or those among the families affected with arthritis or osteoarthritis can not ascend the high risers. Despite this, the purpose of this question is to measure the false ceiling hang and the understair space managment.

Aslam u alikum.
dear tajammal kia ma ap ki technical batain copy kar sakta hu.

[nawan885]

Under construction house is on north side..on south of my plot whole area is vacant.
Backyard is good place for laundry..and it should be seperate from kitchen so that maximum space in kitchen should be utilised for storage of food items.
Yes I agree dining place should be seperate from drawing but I have lot 9f constructed houses where removable partition is used to seperate drawing and dining..
And yes I agree 10 feet height is ok with 10 inch deep space for false ceiling which will also carry first floor severage and water connection.

[Skill]

As far as I know, the by-laws allow you to include the thickness of both the outer walls of the main building into that 5' space which you would have to spare in front and on the back. Am I right?
Because every inch counts when planning for a new building especially small houses. I am going to demonstrate with a picture attached.

OR

OR

As for as, the ceiling height is concerned 10 feet height 6 inches extruded downwards at places of first-floor kitchen and bathrooms and another 6 inches down for false ceiling. Your ceiling fans would be around 8 feet from the finished floor. For the ceiling fans, the proven fact is that the close to the false ceiling the lesser focused air.

[nawan885]

Yes you are right.. outer boundry wall is included as well as front first room wall in 5 feet .

[Skill]

I am just going, to begin with, your plan. I suggest you rethink over the ceiling height if there is no compulsion otherwise. Small houses to look bigger ceiling height should at least be eleven or above the eleven feet high.

[nawan885]

@Skill
So you re suggesting that floor height should be 11 and when 1 feet removed for false ceiling it will be 10 feet..it is good...in general by adding 1 feet will definitely increase cost and it will also increase stairs height which will be issue for all of us with increasing age as most develop joint and back problems after 50 or 60 years

Nopes buddy, you took it the wrong way.
Let me explain this. The addition of 1 foot in ceiling height would make your house look more spacious and less stuffy with the additional benefit of extra heat insulation barrier between the ceilings and the cost is not that much high against the benefits. Stairs, the longer the length the shorter the risers.
