No Power for the last 36 hours in DLF phase 3, Gurgaon

I live in DLF phase 3, and we have been without electricity since 11pm on Tuesday. Various agencies working under DLF give differeing reasons for the blackout, and all promise have been promising electricity within an hour - for the last 36 hours. The newspapers seem to have developed a concern for the feelings of DLF, so though the blackout is mentioned with regard to Gurgaon, DLF has been very considerately left out of the report. I suppose the print media have a very soft spot for DLF.
Can someone tell DLF that this is 2014, and that electricity is not something that is to be given as a kind benediction!

Mr Sucharit Bhattacharya

India Election: What Narendra Modi’s Victory Means for the U.S. Economy

Narendra Modi’s victory in the Indian election is expected to improve trade ties between New Delhi and Washington and could eventually lift U.S. exports in industries ranging from pharmaceutical products to heavy infrastructure, U.S. officials and business leaders say.

On Friday Mr. Modi, whose pro-business credentials during Gujarat’s rapid economic expansion have already lifted India’s stock market, led his Bharatiya Janata Party toward an apparent victory that could make him prime minister later this month.
Depending on which officials join his government, U.S. companies could benefit from a relaxing of recent policies that promoted Indian manufacturing and intellectual property at the expense of international rivals, U.S. business groups say.
“Looking at his reputation and track record in Gujarat, there were some good signs from his tenure there,” said Linda Dempsey, vice president of international economic affairs at the Washington-based National Association of Manufacturers, a trade group.
Below are some U.S. sectors that could see benefits or challenges under Mr. Modi’s government:

Delhi govt likely to bring rent deeds under circle rate

In a major initiative, Delhi Government has proposed that rent and lease deeds will be based on the circle rates of properties, a move aimed at mopping up more revenue and curbing tax evasion.

As per the proposal moved by the Revenue department, stamp duties on lease deeds and rent agreements will be calculated as per existing circle rates of an area and no under valuation of properties will be allowed.

Divisional Commissioner Dharampal said that circle rate may be applicable on properties whose tenure of rent agreement is more than one year.

"Often the real rent amount is not shown to save on stamp duties. We are planning to impose taxes on rented properties based on circle rate of a particular area," he said.

Sources said 2 to 5 per cent circle rate may be imposed on rented properties which may raise the rents of commercial properties in areas like Khan Market, Connaught Place and Greater Kailash.
