Dear clients,

In Odisha, your mother has full ownership rights over the land she inherited from her father, and she is legally entitled to transfer it to her children. Since the transfer is from a mother to her children, the law already provides tax-efficient and legally accepted methods, especially when the purpose is to obtain ROR (Record of Rights) and construct houses individually.

Most suitable and quickest option – Registered Gift Deed

Dear Client,

Even if your agreement or sale deed does not mention any compensation for delayed possession, a builder is legally bound to hand over the flat on the promised date, and a delay of about 10 months amounts to deficiency in service.

You can first send a legal notice to the builder demanding compensation in the form of rent for the delayed period or interest on the amount paid, based on prevailing market rent or standard interest rates. If the builder does not comply, you may file a

Dear Client,

A landlord can initiate the sale of a building with rooms occupied under the pagdi system by selling the property subject to existing tenancy rights, meaning the buyer steps into the shoes of the landlord and tenants continue under the same terms as protected by the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999; the landlord cannot evict or remove pagdi tenants unilaterally, and any transfer involving tenancy rights usually requires the written consent/NOC of tenants and is often done throug

Dear client,

When the original tenant is deceased, the situation becomes even more delicate. Here is a breakdown of whether this is possible and what you need to look out for:

1. Is it possible?
Yes, but with conditions. You cannot buy the home directly from a deceased person. You must buy it from the rightful legal heirs who have successfully transferred the tenancy into their own names first.

Dear client,

Parking spaces in a building must be allotted strictly in accordance with the sanctioned building plan approved by the Municipal Corporation and the applicable development control regulations. Any conversion of an open or common area into a parking space without prior approval, notice to members, or a valid resolution of the association may be illegal and unauthorised.

If the area in question was not shown as a parking space in the originally sanctioned plan submitted to the Ahmed

Dear client,

Parking rights in a housing society are governed by the approved building plan, allotment letters, sale deed, and society by-laws. If a parking space is specifically allotted or exclusively assigned to a member, no other person—including the chairman—can use that space without consent.

A society cannot pass a resolution that overrides individual allotment rights or sanctioned plans by declaring that “anybody can park anywhere.” Such a resolution, if passed, would be illega
