RERA : a case of UnReal Estate / UnReliable Builders ?

Why is Supreme Court so unhappy with RERA ?

For reasons that you will find in following news reports :

SC: Contracts skewed against home buyers are not binding

Buyer can't wait indefinitely for flat, says Supreme Court on 7 year delay  

176 warrants to errant builders, just 1 instance of money recovered 

But , beyond pointing out the obvious lacuna in purchase agreements between a property buyer and the seller , Supreme Court cannot “ order “ inclusion of the clauses in that contract, which can protect the buyers – the way it does in case of “ Leasing / Renting Agreement “ between a Lessor and a Lessee

In these agreement, if a lessee stops paying rent or refuses to vacate the rented premise when due, the law provides specific clauses under which courts can force an eviction

Some very similar clauses are required to be incorporated in “ Property Purchase Agreement “ , by suitably amending the RERA , when the Builder fails to handover the possession of a flat , despite the buyer having paid all the due installments in proper time  

I suggest incorporation of the following clauses :

[ A ]    Risk Purchase

[ B ]   Liquidated Damages

[ C ]    Penalty for delayed delivery

          Just as the builder may levy a penalty for delay in payment on your part, you can incorporate the penalty the

              builder must pay if he delays handing over the possession on schedule.

E- Bus : without ETA [ Expected Time of Arrival ] ?

Here is why :

Govt may blacklist Tata Motors for delaying E-bus deliveries  

Extract :

The automobile manufacturer has been pulled up by the government for failing to honour the deadline regarding the timely deliveries of the vehicles along with a warning that it could be proscribed from getting future contracts under FAME II  if the dispatches are not expedited.

Tata Motors in March 2018, had won a contract for supplying 40 electric buses each to the cities of Guwahati, Kolkata, Jaipur, Jammu & Kashmir, and Lucknow, the deadline of which according to the report has been missed

======================================================================

MY  TAKE

If the supplier could not deliver even 40 buses after ONE YEAR , what can we expect the “ Shape of Things to Come “ under FAME II , which calls for delivery of 7,090 e-buses in next 3 years  ie :  some 2300 per year ?

Is FAME II headed for an “ Unmitigated Disaster “ ?

Some 50 years back , on the northern border of Canada, USA government installed a series of Radar installations , to give it an early warning of a few minutes , for arriving Russian missiles

It was popularly known as DEW (  Distant Early  Warning ]  system .

Forewarned is forearmed  !

I urge the Central Government to IMMEDIATELY install the following DEW system for all E – Bus purchase – even if that means cancelling the existing orders – and re-tendering

Central Government to release a STANDARD AGREEMENT for all public authorities for purchase of E – Buses , to become eligible to get subsidy under FAME II

That agreement must include following clauses :

[ A ]    Lease

          There will be no “ outright purchase “ . All tenders will be only for “ Wet Leasing “ of buses

          Wet leasing tariff shall only be on “ Per Km “ basis and never on “ Per Day –Week –Month “ basis

          ( This will put the ball in the court of the bus

 supplier to ensure that the buses are in working conditions , all

            the time. Supplier will ensure plenty of spare parts / availability of drivers / network of Charging Stations )

[ B ]    Risk Purchase

          If delivery is delayed by 30 days beyond committed delivery date , buyer will have recourse to wet lease

          buses from any source – the cost of which, the original supplier will have to bear

[ C ]   Liquidated Damages

         For each day of delay beyond the committed delivery date , supplier will be liable to compensate the buyer

         an amount equal to the “ average daily operating cost of an alternate diesel bus x number of e – buses on

         order “

[ D ]   Bonus cum Penalty

          Early delivery :

         For each week of early delivery , supplier will be paid 1 % additional “ Per Km “ tariff for the

         first year of running ( Km ) of the number of buses delivered earlier ( than stipulated date )

         That means , should supplier deliver 5 buses , 4 weeks earlier , then supplier will be entitled to get paid as

         follows :

         “ AT / km ( Agreed tariff ) + 4 % AT = BT / km ( Bonus tariff )

          Bonus Amount =  BT x No of buses delivered early ( ie 5 ) x Guaranteed Km / year ( may be 30,000 Km at

         150 km / day X 200 days )

         Late delivery :

         Reversal of above calculation by deducting 1 % of AT per week of late delivery , to arrive at PT ( Penalty

        Tariff and Penalty Amount )

[ E ]    Termination

         In the event of supplier failing to deliver beyond 3 months of the stipulated date, buyer reserves the right to

         terminate the contract without notice but without prejudice to its claims under aforementioned clauses

It is the same sad story of late ( by 2 years ? ) deliveries of 10,000 Electric Cars ordered by EESL on TATA Motors and M&M , in March 2017

As of today, only 1,000 cars have been delivered – after 2 years of waiting !

Starting with my first email ( 16 Aug 2017 ) till the last one ( 12 Oct 2018 ) , I have sent 16 emails to EESL , urging it to cancel this order and retender for Wet Leasing

[  EESL : It is your move now !     ……………….  12  Oct  2018  ]

Pigovian Tax for Polluters ?

Pigovian  Tax  for  Polluters  ?

A few weeks back I suggested :

#     All 230 million vehicles operating in India , pay TRANS-Tax

#     More polluting vehicles pay more tax

#    Less polluting vehicles pay less tax

#    Diving conditions / locations / time etc to decide the exact ( but varying ) amount of tax payable

#    Tax to be paid for every hour of a vehicle’s life ( even when parked ) - and to be paid hourly

#    Tax to be automatically deducted from pre-paid sensor ( e-Wallet   ) pre-installed in each vehicle

     [ Concept details at :  Transport : an Integrated Logistic Plan ?   -  20  Nov  2018  ]

 

It seems , London Mayor Sadiq Khan is about to introduce a truncated version of my proposal , starting 08 April 2019 , under which :

“ Most vehicles that do not meet the European emissions standards are subject to a £12.50 ($16.30) charge for every day they drive within the ULEZ, in addition to the £11.50 congestion charge that operates on weekdays.

If a driver fails to pay within two weeks, they will face a penalty of £160. This will be halved if paid within two weeks.

Lorries will face a much higher daily charge of £100, with a penalty fare of £1,000.

The goal is to discourage people from driving heavily polluting vehicles in the city, in a bid to bring down levels of air pollution and associated health problems.

London's poor air quality shortens the lives of thousands of people every year. The Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has called it a public health emergency.

[  https://www.graphicnews.com/pages/en/38975/TRANSPORT-London-moves-to-curb-air-pollution  ] 

Now London had already introduced a “ Congestion Tax “ ( for vehicles entering specified area in Central London ), some 15 years ago . 

Proposed  Ultra Low Emission Zone ( ULEZ ) will be in addition to that

From the following report, it seems that the Congestion Tax has been very successful

It managed to :

#    Reduce traffic by 15 %

#    Congestion by 30 %

#    Traffic volumes in the charging zone are now nearly a quarter lower than a decade ago,

     allowing central London road space to be given over to cyclists and pedestrians.

#   Between 2002 and 2014, the number of private cars coming into the zone fell by 39 per cent.

#   Trips by taxi and private for hire vehicle as the main mode of the journey increased by 9.8 per cent between 

     2015 and 2016 alone – and 29.2 per cent since 2000

 

[  https://www.citymetric.com/transport/london-congestion-charge-has-been-huge-success-it-s-time-change-it-3751  ]

Now considering that, in Mumbai we have approx. 3.3 million ( - and far older and therefore, more polluting ) vehicles as  against 2.7 million vehicles in London , I would think , we have a greater need to implement a superior system of taxing vehicles than in London

Unfortunately, such a solution is unlikely to appear any time soon, given the constant fighting between the Municipal Corporation and the State Government

I do not expect Election Manifestos of either BJP or of Congress to read :

“  If voted to power, we promise to implement within one year :  Transport : an Integrated Logistic Plan ?  “
