In today’s world, rising prices and uncertain financial conditions are making it harder to feel secure about the future. From groceries to healthcare, everything is becoming more expensive. While earning more is one way to cope, a smarter and more sustainable approach is to start saving and investing early—even in small amounts . What if you could build a steady monthly pension for your future just by saving the cost of two cups of tea a day? It may sound surprising, but with the right plan, it’s absolutely possible.

जब कोई किरायेदार (Tenant) किराए का घर खाली करता है, तो सबसे आम विवाद मकान मालिक और किरायेदार के बीच मरम्मत खर्च (repair charges) और सिक्योरिटी डिपॉज़िट को लेकर होता है। कई बार मकान मालिक बिना सही कारण के बड़ी रकम काट लेते हैं या “घर की मरम्मत” के नाम पर अतिरिक्त पैसे मांगते हैं। लेकिन सवाल यह है—क्या यह कानूनी रूप से सही है? इसका जवाब है: हर बार नहीं। भारत में किरायेदारी से जुड़े कानून स्पष्ट करते हैं कि कौन-सा खर्च किरायेदार देगा और कौन-सा मकान मालिक को उठाना होगा। किराए का घर छोड़ते समय विवाद क्यों होता है? जब किरायेदार घर खाली करता है, तो मकान मालिक घर की हालत जांचता है। इसी समय अक्सर विवाद शुरू होते हैं, जैसे: दीवारों पर पेंट फीका पड़ना नल या फिटिंग्स खराब होना दरवाजे-खिड़कियों में हल्की खराबी टूट-फूट या दाग-धब्बे कई बार मकान मालिक इन्हीं चीजों को “नुकसान” बताकर पैसे मांगते हैं, जबकि यह सामान्य उपयोग से हुआ बदलाव होता है। ‘नॉर्मल वियर एंड टियर’ क्या होता है? कानून के अनुसार हर घर में समय के साथ कुछ बदलाव स्वाभाविक होते हैं, जिसे Normal Wear and Tear (सामान्य घिसावट) कहते हैं। इस...

In recent years, a growing number of Indian homebuyers have started registering property in their wife’s name. The main reason is simple—many states offer lower stamp duty and registration charges for women buyers. On the surface, this looks like a clever way to reduce the overall cost of buying a home. However, what appears to be a smart tax-saving strategy at the time of purchase can become a complicated financial situation later due to income tax rules and long-term implications. Let’s break it down. Why This Trend Is Becoming Popular Stamp duty is one of the biggest additional costs when buying property in India. Depending on the state, it can range from 5% to 8% of the property value. To encourage women property ownership, many state governments offer: Reduced stamp duty rates for women Lower registration charges Occasional rebates or special schemes Because of this, families often think: 👉 “If we register the house in the wife’s name, we can save a good amount of money.” This sh...
