SHRI RAM SHAW charts the development of Gurgaon, which has for long been the cradle of private property developers and is also known as the IT city of Haryana, and analyses it future prospects for realty development
Gurgaon, adjoining the national capital, has emerged as thelargest realty hub in Haryana in the last two decades. The city has attracted some of the biggest names among MNCs, corporate and industrial houses. However, owning property in Gurgaon is set to become more expensive with the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) planning to impose property tax. On the other hand, property dealers and real estate agents in Gurgaon not registering themselves with the district administration will face penal action. But the good news is that recognizing the contribution made by the senior citizen in the development of the state, the Haryana Housing Board has provided 2% reservation in the allotment of houses for senior citizens who have attained the age of 60 years.
Gurgaon, located in the National Capital Region, has for long been the cradle of private property developers and is also known as the IT city of Haryana. Rajesh Khullar, Municipal Commissioner of MCG, said the corporation expected to generate over Rs 100 crore annually in revenue by the imposition of the new tax. He added that the maximum rate of taxation had been decided as Rs 3 per square feet of the covered area or 2.5% of the annual rent for rented premises in residential areas and 5% for rented properties in commercial areas. The objective method of assessing the rent would be used to calculate tax in cases where the owners do not provide details of property and rent.
The local residents have demanded more clarity on the proposal to impose property tax from the state government. Colonel Raj Singla, president of Chamber of Udyog Vihar, said most of the dwelling areas in Gurgaon had been developed by agencies like Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and private developers like DLF and Unitech. He demanded that the area should be handed over to the municipal corporation before the implementation of any new tax, in the same way as the panchayats had handed over the land to the municipal corporation. The residents wanted to first ascertain the identity of the authority responsible for maintaining the area.
The meeting of various RWAs from Gurgaon and the Haryana chief minister is finally bearing some fruit. The RWAs, under the umbrella of apex resident body Joint Action Forum of Residents’ Association (Jafra), had met Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda in June on the issue of issuance of house tax assessment notices by MCG. Senior officials of the local bodies department have indicated that a specially constituted body of taxation department and others was seriously deliberating for introducing certain changes in the form of house tax calculations and other possible exemptions.
The officials also indicated that those who have already deposited house tax based on the assessment notices would be benefited with, if at all any subsidy was announced later, and their amount would be adjusted against those benefits. The MCG has earmarked about 2.75 lakh properties of all types, including the self-occupied houses, for the purpose of issuing house tax assessment notices. Till date, about one lakh notices have been issued in Gurgaon and MCG hopes to net nearly Rs 350 crore in the form of house tax.
According to a senior official of local bodies department, the Haryana Taxation Committee had been deliberating to bring in some changes in the calculation method. “During the one-hour meeting, the resident’s association had appraised the Haryana CM about the concern of lakhs of people,” said Colonel (Retd) Ratan Singh, the chairman of Jafra. And property dealers and real estate agents in Gurgaon who are not registering themselves with the district administration will face penal action. Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Rajinder Kataria said officials have been asked to get shops and offices of property dealers and real estate agents video graphed and photographed to know who all are operating in the district. All realty dealers have to register themselves under the Haryana Regulation of Property Dealers and Consultancy Act.
“After the completion of the survey, those found indulging in property business without a valid licence would be issued notices under the act. The penal provisions might be imposed later on by the administration to enforce the act,” Kataria said. The deputy commissioner, who is also, designated as collector under the act, said, “Anyone found indulging in property consultancy business without having a valid license will be liable to pay a fine ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh.”
Kataria said that after repeated warnings from the Gurgaon administration, only a few property dealers had started applying for obtaining licence under the act.
“Though the city is flooded with signboards of property dealers and builders, only a few are turning up to obtain a valid licence for property dealing.” He added that for registration, a licence fee of Rs 25,000 had to be paid by an individual while in case of an organization, company or society, a fee of Rs 50,000 would be levied. The licence would be valid for a period of five years and would have to be renewed again after that for a fee ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000.
Recognizing the contribution made by senior citizens in the development of the state, the Haryana Housing Board has provided 2% reservation in the allotment of houses for senior citizens who have attained the age of 60 years. A spokesman of the board said that Housing Board, Haryana was the first housing board in the country to provide 33% reservation of the total houses and flats constructed by it for women applicants to improve their socio-economic status.
The State Government has framed a policy to transfer 50% plots for economically weaker sections of the society carved out by colonizers in the plotted colonies for which licenses have been issued by department of Town and Country Planning, Haryana for BPL category. He said that so far the Board had taken over the possession of 453 plots at Ratia, District Fatehabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Dharuhera. The process to take possession of over about 1,000 developed plots at Gurgaon, Sonipat, Panipat, Karnal and Faridabad was in progress, out of 3,400 plots offered so far in various districts. He said that the Bhupinder Singh Hooda had already announced several incentives for the weaker sections of the society.
The official said that about 43 acres of land under various Municipal Committees of Rohtak, Ambala, Cheeka, Karnal and Pehowa had been identified where about 3,500 houses of different categories, mainly for lower strata of the society would be planned. The board had already purchased 18.75 acres of land at Sector 5, Hansi and six acres of land at Sector 1, Narnaul from HUDA, where about 1,222 houses of different categories would be constructed.
The spokesman said that during this year, Housing Board, Haryana had launched housing schemes comprising 2,932 houses at industrial estates, Bawal and Barhi, Sector 4, Hisar; Sector 9, Bahadurgarh; Sector 19, Sirsa; Sector 4 & 5, Karnal and Sector 8, Jind. Construction work of 802 houses at Hisar, Karnal, Bawal and Barhi was in progress and construction of balance 2,130 houses would be started shortly as tenders for these works were under process. The construction of 3,085 houses at Rs 186.50 crore was in progress at Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Hisar, Bhiwani, Sonipat, Gurgaon, Bawal, Barhi and Faridabad, he added.

Tips For Effectively Using Aromatherapy Candles
By Darrin Lowe
Aromatherapy candles are in constant use to help set the atmosphere and improve the ambience in many situations. They can be used in any room of your home and provide a wonderful enhancement.
Our sense of smell has been documented to directly affect our emotions. Part of our nervous system that helps to control our emotions is connected to our nose. Thus, the proof that using aromatherapy candles will have an effect on our mindset and our emotions. The key is in choosing the correct scent to match the emotion or sense you wish to evoke.
When it comes to aromatherapy there are many ways to get the most out of the aroma, but one of the most popular ways is through dispersing it into the air with candles. Aromatherapy candles aren’t all the same, they can be made in a variety of ways, with different ingredients. You can also burn them in different ways.
Which kinds are better for you? Since paraffin wax candles are said to pollute the air with soot I would advise against it for health reasons. Don’t be discouraged, there are many other types of aromatherapy candles available. Candles can be made with beeswax, soybean wax, vegetable oil or even pure essential oil candles are available. All of these are great choices. They are environmentally friendly because they are derived from natural plant sources. Along with these ingredients, they are also available in different styles, sizes, and scents.
The only way to get the scent in the air is by burning the candles, and you have different ways to burn your candles. One of the more popular ways is to use an oil burner, or the tiered bowl with tea lights, although more expensive, they make great diffusers.
Did you know that the way you burn your candle can effect the life and how evenly the candle will burn? Here are a few basic tips to consider before lighting up for your aromatherapy session:
Wick trimming 1/4″ from top of wax will increase the life of the candle. Another trick to longer life is to refrigerate wrapped candles before use. Last tip but not the least, the first time you burn the candle let it burn for at least an hour before extinguishing. This is what I call conditioning the candle and will help with the way the candle burns. This first burning extends the life of your aromatherapy candle. Take some time to care for them and they will last a very long time.
Hopefully you are well on your way to that moment of relaxation you’ve been longing for. Light some aromatherapy candles and sit to read a book or take a long hot bath by candlelight. Unwind, loosen up and start taking some time for yourself. Start enjoying your newly found serenity…. you deserve it.

Finding Gifts That Fit The Traditional Anniversary Gift List
By Darrin Lowe
People love to celebrate anniversaries, being together another year shows that they truly love each other and they continue to strengthen the bonds and celebrate their union year after year. A lot of couples celebrate this special occasion by giving gifts to each other that symbolizes their anniversary, like “paper” for the 1st year and “leather” for the 5th year. Although following the “Traditional Anniversary Gift List” can sound easy at first, but it can be very difficult and frustrating trying to follow the list for some years.
Sure the Silver, Golden and Diamond anniversaries are easy, its pretty well spelled out. But what about anniversaries like the “Paper” (1st) anniversary or “Steel” (11th) anniversary? These can be difficult for a woman and almost impossible for a man shopping for the perfect gift that will show their love and appreciation of their partner. So with the summer months which are the busy season for weddings and anniversaries approaching fast I thought this would be a good time to start covering each of the years and their symbolic gift.
“Paper” is the traditional symbol of the first year wedding anniversary.
Since the traditional symbol for the 1st wedding anniversary gift is paper, you’ll need to start “thinking outside the box” if you’re going to follow this list successfully.
Some cheaper but very thoughtful gifts of paper would be homemade coupons good for a massage or breakfast in bed, poetry or love letters hand written on nice stationary, homemade greeting cards.
In the moderate price range could be books that would be of interest to the recipient, photographs, you can order a copy of the newspaper from the wedding date that shows what was going on the day of your wedding, tickets to a show or sporting event, posters, board games, puzzles, gift certificates to their favorite stores, stationary, tickets to concerts, or my favorite - paper roses.
While gift cards and gift certificates are acceptable gifts for a couple, I would NOT recommend this as a gift to a spouse, this is your first anniversary together and you need to put a little more thought into it than giving something as impersonal as money.
I personally think that “paper roses” are one of the best first year anniversary gifts available, for two reasons, one - you have the romance and intimacy of roses, two - your able to stay with the “traditional” list of anniversary gifts. A bonus to this idea is that unlike real roses this gift can last forever. I am not talking about artificial flowers here, these are paper roses that are hand made especially for first year anniversaries, you can even have them personalized.
On the more expensive end would be airline tickets to a dream vacation, an oil painting from your wedding photograph, fine art prints.
Just remember, you can express your love and feelings without giving expensive gifts, just put a little thought into it. Love is still the best gift, it is costless yet so pure and irrevocable.
Next week I’ll cover the 2nd/Cotton anniversary.

(Investment properties for sale) Understanding Indoor Air Pollution And How It Affects You
No commentsBy Isaac Small
Another EPA study stated that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air. The CMHC reports that houses today are so energy-efficient that “outgassing” of chemicals has nowhere to go, so it builds up inside the home. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and 65% of our time at home. Mothers, infants, and the elderly spend 90% of their time in the home.
The National Cancer Association released the results of a 15-year study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the home. Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960. Cancer is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for children. There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the NUMBER ONE killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. The primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners, and pesticides. Bleach is being linked to the rising rates of breast cancer in women, reproductive problems in men, and learning and behavioral problems in children.
Chemicals get into our body through inhalation, ingestion and absorption. We breathe 10 to 20 thousand liters of air per day. There are more than 3 million poisonings every year. Household cleaners are the NUMBER ONE cause of poisoning of children. Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The Canadian Lung Association and Asthma Society of Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers. ADD/ADHD are epidemic in schools today. Behavioral problems have long been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and molds. Use of Ritalin has skyrocketed since 1990. Chemical and environmental sensitivities are known to cause all types of headaches.
Labeling laws do not protect the consumer - they protect big business.The New York Poison Control Center reports that 85% of product warning labels were either inadequate or incorrect for identifying a poison, and for first aid instructions. Formaldehyde, phenol, benzene, toluene, xylene are found in common household cleaners, cosmetics, beverages, fabrics and cigarette smoke. These chemicals are cancer causing and toxic to the immune system. Chemicals are attracted to, and stored in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime target for these destructive organics because of its high fat content and very rich blood supply.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found more than 2500 chemicals in cosmetics that are toxic and cause tumors, reproductive complications, biological mutations, and skin and eye irritations. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and hormonal problems are diseases commonly related to chemical exposure. Pesticides only have to include active ingredients on the labels, even though the inert (inactive) ingredients may account for 99%, many of which are toxic and poisons.
