NAINITAL: The Uttarakhand high court on Monday barred builder Upendra Jindal from constructing a highway road in the reserved forest of Nainital’s Pangoot area. The order was issued while the court was hearing a petition filed by Budhiakot’s gramme Pradhan (which falls under the Pangoot area).

According to the petition, villagers applied in 2013 for the construction of a pedestrian path. Following a thorough investigation, the state forest department provided exact coordinates along which the pedestrian path was to be built, and a hand-drawn map signed by the village Pradhan was also approved. The petition claims that the approved coordinates were changed to suit the builder, who is also an hotelier. The builder began instead of a pedestrian path, according to the PIL.

Building a highway road the applicant also claimed that the forest area is under the jurisdiction of the Naina Devi Bird Conservation Centre.

Following a hearing, the division bench of Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice RC Khulbe barred builder Upendra Jindal from using heavy machinery in the reserved forest area, including the JCB machine. In the meantime, the court has asked the state forest department to file a counter-affidavit in the case. On February 15, 2023, the case will be heard again.

NEW DELHI: Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday that the government is working on developing solar-powered electric highways that will allow heavy-duty trucks and buses to be charged.
At an event hosted by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC), Gadkari reiterated the government’s desire to develop India’s public transportation system on electricity.

“The government is promoting the use of wind- and solar-based charging methods for electric vehicles.

He said we’re also working on solar-powered electric highways that will allow heavy-duty trucks and buses to be charged while they’re on the road. An electric highway is a road that provides power to vehicles passing through it, including overhead power lines.

Gadkari also stated that the government is actively supporting toll plazas to use solar energy. The minister stated that the road ministry has conducted route optimization exercises all over the expressways and has constructed a modern alignment.

“We are trying to construct 26 green-field expressways,” Gadkari said, highlighting that indeed, architecture boosts economic growth, creates new businesses, and encourages job growth.
With the release of the PM Gati Shakti Grand Plan, he asserts that developments will be resolved rapidly and logistical support will be reduced.

The minister welcomed private investors from the United States to invest in India’s logistics, ropeways, and cable car sectors, stating that India and the United States are natural partners.

He stated that 3 crore trees would be planted along national highways, and that the government is implementing tree planting practises during highway construction and expansion.
“So far, we’ve planted 27,000 trees on national road projects,” he says.
According to Gadkari, the government is working on a new policy called “Tree Bank” that will require authorities such as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) to keep a tree bank account of trees planted during project development.

New Delhi, July 2022: In the Modern Workplace, it is imperative to have a visitor management system in place to handle visitors and contractors efficiently as well as meet the safety and convenience expectations of employees and customers alike. Qudify is Qdesq’s second Software as a Service (SaaS) offering for the Indian Enterprise market, just after their first solution – Flexi.

With their latest product, a QR-based visitor self-check-in, they have acquired paid clients within the 1st month and generated more than 500 digital passes for guests and employees.

Visitor management system software that regulates workplace accessibility is a necessity in the modern day workplace.

The goal of Qudify is to improve workplace effectiveness and create a hassle free experience through digitization. Its visitor control system keeps track of who enters and exits your office and contributes to improving workplace safety and experience. The more traditional methods of visitor tracking, such as manually entering the information or maintaining an Excel spreadsheet, are eerily replaced by this solution.

Mr. Paras Arora, Founder & CEO, Qdesq said “In the presence of the changing times, if businesses wish to meet demands for staff/customer safety and convenience, they must invest in visitor management systems. As a leading provider of flexible office spaces and SAAS services, Qdesq is always looking for new approach to make their systems simpler and more effective for companies, as well as to offer a smooth and hassle-free experience for employees, contractors, and visitors.

In the 47th GST Council Meeting, the Finance Ministry’s revenue department has introduced 18 per cent GST on residential rentals across the country. The dynamics of renting residential property under GST has changed with an immediate effect from 18th July 2022. On the basis of notification, a residential dwelling rented to a person registered under GST would attract a tax of 18%, as it would be treated as a supply of service. This is surely a major setback for the business of rental housing in India.

Commenting on the impact on rental business, Dr. Sachin Chopda, Managing Director, Pushpam Group said, “The decision by the Government to implement the new GST rules will curb the rising demand for rental business across the real estate industry. In recent years, the rent has been an important source of income for many, therefore the current regime is going to impact the sentiments of the homebuyers for the period to come. The Government should soon intervene and provide a few measures that shall encourage the end-users to continue their investments.”

Reiterating the same, Mr. Jitesh Lalwani – President, Homesync Real Estate Advisory said, “The introduction of 18% GST on residential rentals will have a major impact on the homebuyers sentiments. The decision will also have a severe effect hampering the demand for rental real estate.”

“Rental businesses have become one of the major sources of income for people and with the new rule in GST, the residential rental market is expected to get impacted. Earlier the GST was only levied on the commercial properties that were open for rent, now focus has shifted to the current soaring residential rental market which might experience a little downside,” said Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory.

Developers in Maharashtra Now Must Install Fire Evacuation Lifts in High – Rise Buildings with 70-meters and Above in Heights.

 

The new Evacuation Safety Circular is a step towards improving evacuation routes for residents anda Safer andFaster Mode for Fire Officers to reach High – Rise Floors during fire emergencies in Maharashtra

 Mumbai, July 21, 2022:The most landmark Circular issued by Maharashtra State’s Energy Department in conjunction with the Municipal Corporation and the Fire Departmenthas made it mandatory to install and operate a Fire Evacuation Lift in every High-Rise Building scaling 70-meters and above since January 2018. The Energy Department has issued the Circular as ‘Advisory on Installation of the Fire Evacuation Lifts in the High Rise Buildings having height 70 Meters and above.”

 Making the ‘Fire Evacuation Lift’ mandatory is seen as a visionary step in providing Safer and Faster route for Fire Officersto reach the higher floors to save lives and assets. Meanwhile, it is one of the safest and fastest modes for evacuating people stranded in emergency situations of fire in High Rise Buildings. Maharashtra has become the first State in India to make Fire Evacuation Lifts mandatory for buildings 70meters and above since January 2018 in what is termed as the solution to mounting emergencies during fire-fighting and provide a safe evacuation mechanism for people and assist Fire Officers to save lives and assets.

As part of the evacuation solutions, many Developers of High – Rise Buildings in the cities like Mumbai have installed or are currently opting to install non-standardized or low graded Fire Evacuation solutions/Lifts. However, these Non-standard Fire Solutions/ Evacuation Lifts may not provide right security and safety to people in the event of a fire due to compromise in quality by the builders and regular passenger lift makers. In contrast, the Fire Evacuation Lifts are a far more secure and safer option and are developed by specialized teams of a Fire Evacuation Lift Manufacturer. It protects and enables fire-fighters to reach higher floors faster and evacuate a group of 10-18 people of all ages and abilities including pets at one given time in less than three minutes(i.e. almost 100 people in 30 minutes approximately). It also enables the Emergency Response Team (ERT) to reach any floor within a minute to fight fire, save lives and assets and thus reduce losses.

As per the New Circular, henceforth, it is mandatory to obtain the permission for erection and License for operation of Fire Evacuation Lifts in the State of Maharashtra.

Further, it will provide a much awaited solution to the Fire Brigades across cities in Maharashtra and the ERTs in combating emergency fire situations in High – Rise Buildings, as they can use the ‘Fire Evacuation Lifts’ to reach to higher floors rapidly to evacuate people and save assets by dousing fire more efficiently and timely.

The implementation of the new Circular shall be effective immediately from the date of issue for the upcoming Fire Evacuation Lift installations and shall apply with retrospective effect to the existing Fire Evacuation Lift installations.

High-Rise Buildings scaling 70-meters and above in heights in Maharashtra will have to put in place the necessary infrastructure, such as Fire Evacuation Lifts, which provide a much safer and more secure option.This Circular, will begin a new chapter of fire evacuation in Maharashtra.

A recent judgment issued by the GST-Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) to Puranik Builders is expected to have a negative impact on both the builders and the consumers, since it may raise expenses. The AAR has ruled that “other charges” received by a builder under a sale agreement are not a composite supply and would be subject to 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST).

From April 1, 2019, GST of 5% will be charged on non-affordable housing developments that do not qualify for Input Tax Credit (ITC). For ongoing projects, the builder can pay GST at the previous rate of 12% with ITC, which implies that taxes paid on inputs can be written off.

According to a CA, favourable advance decisions for the tax department are unavoidably followed throughout the assessment. If the taxpayer (say, a builder) adopts a different strategy, there will be litigation.

The sale agreement, drafted by Thane-based residential building firm Puranik Builders, was typical of most builder agreements, with two components displayed separately. These were charges for the primary construction operation as well as “additional charges.”

Charges for installation of electric meters, water connections, advance maintenance and club-house maintenance (before society was founded), legal costs, and other expenses were included in the latter. These fees were collected from buyers at the time of signing the contract or handing over possession of the units.

While the builder was collecting GST at 18% on such “other charges,” it sought a decision from the AAR on the relevant rate. It claimed that the services underpinning the “other charges” should be regarded as a single supplier (bundled with the supply of the main construction activity). As a result, the GST rate on the primary supply (currently 5% for new projects) should be applied.

According to the AAR, the consideration is charged individually for various services. It went on to say that it was amusing that while stamp duty was paid on the value of the flat’s sale (excluding the value of “other charges”), resulting in reduced stamp duty, when it came to GST payments, the builder claimed that the other costs were part of the primary building activity. The AAR determined that an 18% GST will be levied on the services that are the basis for the other charges. The builder must pay GST on the whole amount received as “other charges,” with no refund.

According to an indirect tax specialist, “no one will buy a flat without an electricity or water connection.” Buyers expect the builder to maintain common amenities until society is created. As a result, considering such charges as non-composite may increase complexity and expenses in the real estate sector.”

The state cabinet was presented with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s global warming report on September 1st, with an overall focus on Maharashtra and an emphasis on its coastal region, notably Mumbai.

While conducting the presentation, the environment department called for mitigating actions, stating that if temperatures rise by 2-2.5 degrees Celsius due to climate change, the city and state will be among the worst-affected in the world.

“The cabinet recognizes the need for immediate action and expresses its determination to go on with a carbon-neutral strategy,” said Manisha Mhaiskar, Principal Secretary for Environment.

“It has been determined to establish a climate change ministerial council chaired by the chief minister and co-chaired by the deputy chief minister. We have identified five areas where a time-bound climate action plan must be implemented in order to mitigate the effects of climate change.”

The department warned that if “business as usual” continues, Mumbai and other coastal districts could risk submergence, while core Maharashtra will face severe drought. According to the report, instead of functioning as carbon sinks, woods would burn due to fires.

The presentation also cautioned that ‘wet bulb temperature’ (temperature read by a thermometer wrapped in water-soaked fabric — wet-bulb thermometer — over which air is circulated) would be disastrous for Mumbai. When humidity is 100 percent, a wet bulb temperature reaches the ambient temperature and water does not provide any cooling, resulting in heat strokes among live creatures; this can cause a significant number of deaths, equivalent to those caused by earthquakes or epidemics.

According to the presentation, the effects of climate change are already being felt locally: Mumbai and surrounding regions were hit by two cyclones in rapid succession (Nisarga in 2020 and Tauktae in 2021). Landslides are also growing more common as a result of heavy rains, according to the report.

The agency cited measures made by the government to slow the pace of temperature rise, including the conservation of Aarey forest and the restoration of mangroves as steps toward conserving and building carbon sinks.

Energy (50%), industry and transportation (15% each), agriculture, and urbanisation (10% each) are the five sectors regarded as important contributors to the carbon footprint. A plan would be prepared by a minister of the department responsible, according to Mhaiskar, who will also offer data on how much money will be allocated for its implementation. The plan will then be presented to the city council.

In a direct attack on the opposition, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Wednesday that past governments in the state never prioritized the poor, women, farmers, or youngsters and that this is supported by hard facts.

Only 53 lakh dwellings could be supplied to the poor in the previous 30 years, Yogi remarked while giving keys to 5.41 lakh PM Awas Yojana (PMAY) and CM Awas Yojana (CM Awas Yojana) beneficiaries (CMAY).

In contrast, he said that the BJP administration supplied 41.73 lakh homes in rural and urban regions in four years, a record. “It was only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014 that the poor were linked to different government programmes without regard for caste, region, or religion,” said Yogi, who also met with recipients from Ayodhya, Varanasi, Rae Bareli, Bahraich, and Kushinagar.

According to him, many were unable to get the whole amount under the PMAY plan. “Previously, there existed corruption and discrimination,” Yogi added, emphasizing that Jan Dhan accounts created in banks in accordance with PM Modi’s instructions closed leakages and ensured that the poor received the whole amount.

The CM questioned recipients if they had got benefits from other programmes, like as Ujjwala, Saubhagya, and Ayushman. The CM insisted that the residences supplied to the needy under PMAY and CMAY were part of the BJP government’s pro-people agenda at the federal and state levels. Yogi praised the Lakhimpur Kheri government for supporting the “cluster method,” under which the poor were supplied with dwellings and amenities including as electricity and piped drinking water in a township-like environment in Landanpur village.

“Previously, nepotism and casteism stifled progress. However, when the people elect a decent administration, benefits from programmes reach every poor person,” Yogi said. He said that the state government was pleased that 70% of PMAY’s owners were women, bringing them closer to PM Modi’s aim of making women “atmanirbhar” (self-reliant).

Yogi has pushed for the collaboration of economically sound rural households and the state government in order to improve village infrastructure. “People should not be completely reliant on the government. Instead, they should assist in bringing socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals into the mainstream,” he said.
