The legal ownership of your society as a whole is not automatically acquired once the homeowners buy individual residences or once you form a co-operative housing society. A conveyance deed is a mandatory legal document that literally seals the deal. A big percentage of societies across the country exist without a Conveyance Deed which presents a set of challenges, including no ownership to the entire property and redevelopment woes.

What is a conveyance deed?

A Conveyance deed or a deemed conveyance means a legal document of ownership right over the property (land and building). It is a document designed to transfer the property ownership right from the developer/builder to the society.

Why is conveyance deed required?

According to the MOFA Act (Maharashtra Ownership Flats) a land or building is deemed to be conveyed to a legal body or a cooperative housing society within four months of when a housing society comes into existence. This is essential because there have been several instances when the builder or the promoter has sold parts of the land or the building to a third party. The inconveniences faced by the residents forced them to send numerous complaints about it and led to the birth of a department within the lands records team that is committed to address the issue.

Regular conveyance vs deemed conveyance

Within four months of the formation of a housing society, the developer is required to legally convey the land and the plot ownership to the society, ideally to the managing committee members who are in charge of legal documents. When the developer/builder/landowner prepares and executes a conveyance deed within stipulated time period and presents it to the Registrar’s office, they have said to create a Regular Conveyance Deed, in which the society is handed over all the original documents from the builder without any inconvenience to either parties.

However, the builder/developer is not always prompt and proactive in following the legal guidelines and it has been recorded a few years ago that around 80% of housing societies had not been given the conveyance deed in Maharashtra alone. Builders refrain from giving conveyance in hopes of increased FSI that they could avail in the future or simply because they are negligent in following the mandatory procedures. In such scenarios, the societies have the provision of obtaining Deemed Conveyance with the help of competent authorities and the Sub-registrar.

When the builder proves to be an obstacle in obtaining the Conveyance Deed, the society has to follow a procedure of obtaining certificates and documents from local authorities while simultaneously applying to the Sub-registrar who examines the documents provided and allows the builder to present his case. Only after due diligence and after ascertaining that the society is correct in demanding conveyance, the Registrar passes the order of issuing Deemed Conveyance under the Registration Act 1908, which is then considered legal and final.

The procedure to get deemed conveyance

This process involves a lot of paperwork and it goes without saying, a lot of groundwork by the Managing Committee of the Society. But it’s not impossible and certainly doable when you have the right guidance.

1. Submit an application in Form -7 to the District Dy. Registrar, Co-operative Societies (Competent Authority).
2. Along with the form, add the court fee stamp of Rs 2000.
3. Affix the documents listed below along with the application form.

The decision is taken by the Sub-registrar within the time period of six months or less. Any official who does not provide a Deemed Conveyance within 6 months is penalised between Rs 500 to Rs 5000.

1. Documents required to obtain deemed conveyance

• Affidavit made before a Notary or Executive Magistrate.
• List of all members and details of each member’s share certificate.
• True copy of Society Registration Certificate.
• Index II (extract after registering the document of immovable property) and copies of Registered Agreements for all Flats/ Shops with Stamp Duty & Registration.
• Copy of the legal notice issued to the builder for issuing Regular Conveyance Deed.

2. Land revenue documents from city survey office/collector’s office

• 7/12 Extract.
• City Survey Plan.
• Property Card.
• Village Form VI or register of mutation.
• Urban Land Ceiling Clearance Certificate (Collector’s Office).
• N.A Order and latest NA tax receipt (copy of Non-Agriculture Order from Collector’s Office).

3. Documents from Municipal Corporation

• Property taxes paid.
• Approved plan of layouts of residences along with approved building plans and location plan of the building.
• Intimation of Disapproval (IOD) – a clearance to the builder to start the construction process.

4. Documents needed from professionals

• Architect’s Certificate of the layout plan.
• Full report of FSI left in the property from Panel Architect.
• Advocate issued Search Report of Land (for the last 30 years minimum).
• Advocate issued Title Certificate of the Property.

5. Documents needed from promoter/builder/developer

• Copy of Partnership Deed of all the partners of the builder firm.
• Development Agreement between landowner and builder.
• POA provided to builder from landowner.
• If necessary, the Will and Probate copy of the land agreement signed by the landowner’s heirs along with Death Certificates of Landowners if needed.

Is conveyance deed mandatory?

Up until a few years ago, it was mandatory for the society to submit an OC (Occupation Certificate) and BCC (Building Completion Certificate). But this was a harrowing process for societies as many builders had abandoned the project before complying with all completion norms and handed the reins to the society before obtaining these certificates from authorities.

Homebuyers found this step a major roadblock in obtaining a Conveyance Deed as the authorities would not issue OC and BCC without proper compliance. The government has scrapped the need for these in order to get a Deemed Conveyance. However after it is granted, the society is required to obtain OC and BCC from the municipal corporation. The copy of Deemed Conveyance Deed along with the Index II has to be sent to local authorities/government offices to officially incorporate the name of the society.

After the submission procedure, the Registrar sends an official/s for a spot visit and issues a notice to the builder. The builder has the opportunity to present his plea if he so chooses, after which a hearing is held formally. The intention is published in a regional and English newspaper. If no objection is raised on any count, society is given the Deemed Conveyance.

It is crucial for a society to obtain a Deemed Conveyance in case if the builder creates trouble with a Regular Conveyance as a Conveyance is mandatory to establish legal ownership and also when the society wishes to opt for redevelopment at a later stage. Many projects are stalled due to the older societies not being able to produce a Conveyance.

With summer being the dominant season in Kolkata and temperatures rising to as high as 39.6 degrees, sizzling heat waves are common in the city. Struggling with a faulty or ill-functioning AC is, therefore, a nightmare. Let us look into why regular AC repair is essential to reap the most out of your investment and who you can reach out to when looking for an AC repairing service in Kolkata.

Signs your AC needs repair or servicing

1. Strange noises

Often a disruptive sound from your AC could be a signal for you to get it repaired or replaced. Depending on the kind of sound, the reasons could include the malfunctioning of the compressor, a damaged thermostat, excessive moisture, or an issue with the fan motor. An expert can well diagnose the issue and prompt action to prevent further damage to your system.

2. Water leaks

Leakage of water from your AC unit could result from improper installation, clogging in the drain pipe, a drop in the level of the refrigerant, a dirty air filter, or if your unit is significantly old. It could also be due to a damaged drain pan. Much of these issues can be avoided with due care. However, a technician’s assistance is required when a re-installation has to be done or when a part needs to be replaced.

3. Bad odour

Your AC can emit an unusual smell which might result in moderate to severe problems with the AC unit. While the refrigerant leakage can cause a gas-like smell, a burning smell would indicate that a component or multiple of these within the system are subject to danger. DIY, in this case, is not recommended, and you should invariably call for a technician. Other probable reasons for the odour could be mould, mildew infestations, dead and decaying rodents, or a dirty air filter.

4. Insufficient airflow

If your AC cannot cool as it usually would, the problem could be attributed again to several causes. Apart from those mentioned above, holes or cracks in the ductwork, overused and clogged filters, age of the unit, and dirty condenser coils are other reasons for poor airflow. Depending on the severity of the issue, your AC would either need a repair or a replacement.

5. High electricity consumption

One of the easiest ways to reduce energy consumption is by keeping the air filters clean. As stated earlier, this will also keep the other problems at bay. In addition, malfunctioning parts, duct leaks, low refrigerant levels, and a poorly maintained system will inevitably increase electricity consumption.

6. High humidity

A well-functioning AC serves the dual purpose of keeping your space cool while removing humidity. Many causes are attributable to the high humidity, despite the AC running. Firstly, improper working of the evaporator coil is responsible for dehumidifying the air. Secondly, high levels of humidity within the room due to overcrowding or the weather outside is another factor. High humidity is not good for your AC and can also pose health risks and damage the interior of your house.

Benefits of AC maintenance

1. Energy efficiency

Routine maintenance of your AC will not only keep your system up and running for longer but also considerably reduce your energy consumption. The filters should be cleaned or replaced once or twice monthly for optimal performance. To ensure adequate airflow, condenser coils should also be kept free from dirt and debris accumulated over time due to extensive use. The aluminium fins can also block air circulation if they get bent. Keeping some of these things in check goes a long way in decreasing energy use.

2. Cost-effective

When cared for, a well-maintained unit helps you save on energy consumption, as pointed out earlier, and on replacement expenses. Looking after your AC and getting routine repairs and servicing will prove to be relatively cost-effective in the long run.

3. Comfort and convenience

Poor to no maintenance results in frequent breakdowns, high energy consumption, improper cooling, and numerous other issues. The crux is that you don’t get to relish the comfort despite having the amenities. To derive maximum utility on your investment, proper upkeep of the system during the off-season is desirable so that when the scorching summer months of April and May hit the city with unbearably high temperatures, you get to keep calm and relax within the confines of your home.

4. Improved longevity

A direct consequence of maintenance is increased longevity. Premature failure is often the result of dirty air filters, clogged coils, and dirt accumulation. While general upkeep is essential, getting your AC serviced by a professional twice a year is a general recommendation. You might dismiss the need to seek professional help for some of the tasks, but this could prove ineffective and even dangerous in some cases. For instance, inspecting the refrigerant level to ensure proper cooling is not a DIY task.

5. Keeps health issues at bay

Pollutants and contaminants in the system can pose serious health risks to the users. Accumulation of dust can trigger allergies in patients suffering from respiratory issues. Therefore, servicing your AC is essential both for the health of the inmates and for its enhanced performance.

Know when to replace your AC unit and when you should repair it

1. Age of the unit

An average lifespan of an AC is 10 to 15 years. If you are successful in routinely maintaining it, it inevitably increases the age of your system. The absence of a major breakdown or a few repairs here and there does not necessitate an AC replacement. On the other hand, if you frequently feel the need to get your AC repaired, a replacement of the same is inevitable.

2. Repair costs

If the cost of repairs on your existing AC equals or far exceeds the cost of buying a new one, you should opt for a replacement rather than a repair. A sound cost-benefit analysis here will enable you to make the best choice.

3. Energy consumption and cost

Has your AC hit its average lifespan? Or did you witness an upward trend in your energy consumption bills, despite the possible efforts to maintain it? If yes, then it is time that you get your AC replaced and not add further to the repair costs of your existing unit.

When talking about formal wear, suits are something that surely cannot be missed. When worn right, they have the potential to bring out the best of an individual’s personality. At the workplace, high profile meetings, formal get-togethers and even wedding receptions, suits are the go-to attire for anything that is not-so-casual an occasion.

However, since suits are expensive, they sure do require a bit of extra care. Dry cleaning is the usual method of maintaining suits. Suit dry cleaning and proper storage are what really prolong their life. In case you are wondering how and when you have to decide to get your suits dry cleaned, here is a quick guide to help you in the process of maintaining your formal wear.

When should you send them for dry cleaning?

After you have worn your suit to an event, before you get it back on the hanger, make sure to take a close look all over the piece to check for stains. If there are stains on the suit, send it to a dry cleaner as soon as possible. Once the stain settles into the fabric, it will be difficult to get it cleaned.

Some of us are not frequent party-goers or do not attend enough formal events. Therefore, the chances of a suit piece lying in the wardrobe untouched for several months, at times, even years on end, are not uncommon. In such cases, depending on how long you have stored it, dust and grime might get settled on the suit. It is a good idea to check your suit from time to time and send it in for dry cleaning if it has gathered dust.

You have to take care of your suit even if it has been kept in for a long time, safely wrapped in a plastic/zipped bag and is dust-free. Nonetheless, instead of suit dry cleaning, you can simply keep it in the sun for a few hours and brush it gently yourself, using a cloth brush with fine bristles.

Another reason a suit or any other formal wear could smell or get dirty is because of sweat accumulating. Do not immediately store the suit in the wardrobe, make sure you reverse it and keep it under the fan or hang it on the balcony, so that it is exposed to more air for some time. The best idea to keep your suit intact is to get it dry cleaned once every three-four months, even if you are not wearing it frequently.

Cost of dry cleaning a suit

Cost of dry cleaning a suit differs from one dry cleaning service to the other. For a two-piece suit, the cost typically ranges from INR350 to INR400. If it is a three-piece suit, the cost might go up to INR500. If you want to get just the pants or the blazer done separately, the approximate charges are INR110 and INR250, respectively.

Nonetheless, there is absolutely no reason for you to go to the most expensive dry cleaner for your suits, you can try by giving a piece of the suit or a shirt to assess services, and then make a decision.

Pay special attention to what fabric your suit is made up of. If it’s wool, cashmere, silk, rayon, or linen, you should not risk washing it at home by yourself. These fabrics are delicate and are not suitable for a soap or detergent wash. Especially suits that are heavy, stiff, or stitched in a certain shape, should be ideally dry cleaned, otherwise, their fabric will either get crumpled or will lose its shape.

How to wash a blazer or suit at home?

While sending in a suit or any other formal wear for dry cleaning seems to be the easy way out, you can also wash a suit or a blazer at home. Here are some quick tips.

1. The first thing that you need to keep in mind is that direct machine washing is strictly prohibited in the case of suits and blazers. Do not even think of taking your formal wear anywhere near the washing machine without slipping them into a proper cloth bag or cover.
2. After you have turned the suit (jacket, pants, waistcoat, blazer, etc.)inside out, you can start folding them. Do not fold them as you do with your other usual clothes. Roll them from the bottom to the top, with each fold being as tight as the previous one. By tightly rolling them, you are ensuring that the space occupied by the suit pieces is minimum. This prevents any sort of felting.
3. Now place each piece of the suit in a separate cloth bag. Roll up the excess of the individual bags as well. If the need be, use safety pins to keep them secure.
4. Choose the right liquid detergent that is gentle on the fabric. Add the required amount of the liquid to the washing machine. Avoid adding an excess of the liquid detergent. There are wool and cashmere shampoos available, especially for delicate cashmere and silk blazers. You can also add in fabric conditioner additionally, which will ensure that the fabric remains soft and fluffed, even after the wash.
5. Do not add in the entire suit piece if it makes the load of the washing machine larger. Add them in separate shifts. Also, check the speed of the wash while managing the settings on the washing machine. If you have already kept each piece in a separate cloth bag, before putting them into the machine, the settings can be set to any number you usually operate the machine at.
6. Once the machine has done its work, remove the cloth bags from the machine and take out the pieces of the suit. Do not dry them using the machine or a dryer. Lay them flat on a drying rack or any plain surface in the house where there is no direct sunlight. Direct heat might lead to creases on the fabric of the suit piece.
7. Reshape them as they are drying up, you can even gently iron them by keeping them under a thin bed sheet or cotton cloth when they are semi-dry. Use a cloth brush to remove any lint or wool that might have collected on it during the process of washing or drying. A pill comb can also be used to run across the fabric and remove pills from the surface of the cloth.

Conclusion

It might seem a little too daunting and risky to machine wash, or even hand wash your formal wear at home. But by following the instructions step by step and taking care of the washing products being used, there is no chance that the suit will be damaged or felted. Just make sure that you first try this technique on a fairly cheap suit or a shirt, and are confident enough about it before carrying it out on an entire piece of suit or an expensive blazer. For certain fabrics that are extremely delicate, it is advisable that you send them for dry cleaning, as they are not meant for detergent or machine wash at all.

Who doesn’t adore those revitalized, newly styled hair that is just out of the hair salon?

To overcome the gloomy blues and revive your hair, salon hair treatment sessions sound highly alluring. The scalp and hair are revitalized by a hair spa, keeping your locks as lustrous as possible. You might be wary of these hair-taming techniques while being aware of various hair spa uses..

Before scheduling an appointment, you should be aware of the possible hair spa-side effects and other drawbacks, just like there are two sides to every coin. In this article, we’ll learn more about hair spa treatments, their uses, and various disadvantages of hair spa.

Hair spa: definition

A hair spa is a professional salon service that helps to repair and revitalize your lifeless and dull locks. Oiling, massaging, washing, hair masking, and conditioning are the four main steps. Your scalp is relaxed throughout the entire procedure, and your hair eventually becomes silky and soft. Your hair roots, follicles, and scalp benefit from the deep conditioning and nourishment it offers.

In layman’s terms, a hair spa is essentially a variety of bodily de-stress therapies. The entire procedure helps to improve blood flow by relaxing the body.

Hair spa treatment: step-by-step process

Oiling, massaging, shampooing, hair masking, and washing are all steps in a hair spa treatment. The steps in a restorative hair spa are as follows in more detail:

1. Oiling

This is the first step of the whole hair spa process, where oil is applied to the head. The kind of oil to use depends on the hair conditions. A good hair salon will use the hair oil that suits your hair. Oil is thoroughly applied so it reaches the hair roots and follicles.

2. Messaging

The stage where a head massage is performed to ensure that oil reaches the roots is the most soothing of the hair spa treatment. For a proper hair massage, salons may employ both hand and machine techniques. Massages improve the health of your hair and stimulate hair development by increasing blood flow to your hair follicles.

3. Shampooing

Shampoo is applied to the hair to remove the oil. It also helps remove dandruff, dead hair cells, and dirt from hair.

4. Masking

The most crucial phase of the hair spa process is when the hair mask is applied. The mask is intended to feed and strengthen your hair follicles while also removing dryness and flaking from your scalp. This gives it a smooth and silky appearance.

5. Washing

The final step of the hair spa process is washing, where the serum and hair mask is rinsed properly. It is then dried using a hair dryer or towel.

Hair spa uses

The essential nutrients are infused into your hair strands by the hair spa using innovative conditioning processes to restore the moisture and hydration that has been lost. Additionally, a hair massage is a crucial component of hair spa treatment because it helps to improve the health of your hair by stimulating blood flow to the follicles.

The following are some hair spa uses that make it a must to have therapy:

1. Oil control in scalp

Pores become clogged with dust, dead skin cells, and grime when the sebaceous glands in the scalp produce excessive amounts of natural oils. On the other end of the range, the dry scalp has its own set of issues, including dandruff and dull hair. You may treat oily hair and significantly lessen hair fall with the help of an excellent hair spa treatment from professionals like Mygate Home Services. It controls the oil production allowing you to get rid of maximum hair problems.

Disadvantages of hair spa

There are a number of disadvantages of hair spas that could result in hair issues like hair loss, fading hair color, etc. The list of hair spa-side effects and other drawbacks is as follows:

1. Regular process

Only regular use of hair spa treatments will yield results. It’s just as awful to do it occasionally as it is to wear a face mask every six months. For them to produce long-lasting results, they must be incorporated into a regular hair care routine.

2. Costly

Prices for hair spa services are typically high. However, feeding your hair is crucial and worth the money and time spent. You may always attempt the at-home hair spa treatment if you can’t afford it. For all consumers, Mygate Home Services provides high-quality hair spa services that are also reasonably priced.

3. Fade hair color

One of the main disadvantages of hair spas is that occasionally, treatment may cause the color of the hair to fade. Although it is rare, the color may occasionally fade at the hair salon depending on the quality of the hair color. It is preferable to talk to the hair spa professional about the hair color beforehand.

4. Lengthy process

As was already said, a hair spa treatment is a process with several steps. It is therefore a drawn-out and time-consuming process. You must have adequate time because the entire hair spa procedure often takes two to three hours.

5. Chemicals

Serum, hair masks, shampoo, and other chemicals are used in hair spa treatments. These substances can occasionally cause adverse side effects. For hair spas, it is best to use chemical-free or natural hair products.

6. Hair loss

Numerous studies have shown that the use of harsh chemicals in various hair cosmetic process steps can cause significant hair loss. Before making a hair spa reservation, it is best to seek the counsel of a doctor or hair spa specialist if you are already experiencing hair loss concerns.

7. Won’t be beneficial alone

It can be necessary to visit a hair salon more frequently to maintain healthy hair. It’s crucial to maintain a healthy hair care routine. To enable your hair to mend, it’s crucial to take preventative measures to avoid hair damage.

8. Dandruff issues

Even though hair spa treatments are among the best ways for dandruff issues, the chemicals in hair spa products themselves can cause dandruff issues. Sometimes the chemicals and scalp oil interact, causing further production of dandruff and dead hair cells.

9. Irritation

Sometimes the procedure is not carried out completely, leaving a few oil and serum stains on the hair. This makes you irritated and could lower your mood. The hair spa treatment may also lead to irritation when water enters your ear.

10. Age factor

Although anyone can book a hair spa appointment, it is advised that children under the age of 14 stay away from this service because their skin is still developing at this age. Young children’s hair cells are too delicate for products, therefore if they choose the service, it could result in rashes or other issues.

Conclusion

There are various advantages and disadvantages of hair spa treatments. This does not imply that one should avoid using a hair spa, but rather that one should only book the service with the best professionals, such as Mygate Home Services. A healthy scalp and nourished hair are benefits of hair spa treatments. For healthy hair, they should be performed at least once a month.
