A. Dear Client,

A. Dear Client,

As per the updated model bylaws, the responsibility for paying non-occupancy charges falls on the owner of the housing unit. However, in practice, homeowners often request tenants to cover both non-occupancy and maintenance charges. Typically, an informal agreement is reached between the owner and tenant for this arrangement, streamlining the payment process. This setup allows the tenant to make a single payment covering both charges, offering convenience to both parties. Since non ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Issue a revocation letter to the concerned individual, requesting the return of the original certificate. It's advisable to meet the person, collect the original certificate, and obtain a receipt for your revocation letter to close the matter amicably. In adherenc ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

An individual inherits the right to ancestral property by birth, typically referring to property inherited for four or more generations. The property of the grandmother, held by the grandchildren, is considered ancestral, entitling them to an equal share since birth. In the absence of a will and with all ancestors, including the father, passing away, the daughter holds the same rights as the son in both ancestral and self-acquired property. Marital status is irrelevant, and a marr ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a tool aimed at providing an employee with performance deficiencies an opportunity to improve. However, termination for unsatisfactory performance might be considered retrenchment. In such cases, employees should be given 1 to 3 months' prior notice or payment in lieu of notice, as mandated by Sec.25N(1)(a) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947, provided the employee is a workman under Sec.2(s) of the Act. If terminated illegally, the employee ...ReadMore
