Achal Sampattis - Demand Survey

Achal Sampattis a unit of Yds - Udyam Pratisthaan registered MSME, regularly undertakes and conducts demand surveys to assess and ascertain the viability of any proposed housing, commercial or industrial project or scheme. The demand surveys are primarily conducted to evaluate the feasibility of launching a new project in terms of the availability of land or any upcoming project of a builder or third party.

A Demand Survey for Achal Sampattis (Real Estate) Project is a systematic process used to assess housing and commercial needs in a target market or environment. It helps to identify what property types are in demand by the end users, their preferred locations and budgets, allowing to tailor real estate offerings and acquire the right inventory. 

Implementing a demand survey for real estate project involves a structured, 4-phase approach: 

 

1. Define the Target Market or environment

• Geographic Focus: Clearly outlines the specific regions in the preferred area (e.g., assessing demand trends across micro-markets like specific city, or across specific regions in a state or the entire country).

• Demographics: Grouping the local population by income, age, family size, and occupation to understand their unique property needs. 

 

2. Design the Survey

Creating targeted questionnaires for both buyers and sellers. Important data to capture includes: 

• Property Type & Size: 1 BHK vs. 3 BHK, luxury vs. affordable, plotted land vs. ready-to-move-in or residential vs. commercial and industrial.

• Budget & Financing: Maximum price per square foot, down payment capabilities, and mortgage status.

• Amenities & Preferences: Gated communities, proximity to workplaces/schools, and smart-home features. 

 

3. Execution & Data Collection

Gather insights through both Primary Data (direct communication) and Secondary Data (market reports): 

• Primary Methods: Conducting one-on-one client interviews, distribute online forms via email, and gather feedback during property viewings or open houses.

• Secondary Methods: Analyzing local listings on portals like Achal Sampattis, Housing, No Broker, Magicbricks or 99acres, and review local government real estate registries. 

 

4. Analysis & Implementation

• Assess Demand Metrics: Calculating the absorption rate (how fast properties are selling in the targeted area) and determine which price points are most sought-after.

• Identify Market Gaps: Finding property types that are in high demand but low supply in the targeted area. 

• Formulate Strategy: Using these insights to decide which upcoming projects to invest in, what land to acquire, and how to price and market your current listings.

National Pension System (NPS)

  

What is NPS?

The National Pension System (NPS) is a voluntary defined contribution retirement savings scheme. The scheme enables its subscribers to make systematic savings through their working life and create a substantial corpus for their retirement. NPS as a financial instrument helps to inculcate the habit for saving towards retirement income amongst Indian citizens.

NPS was initiated by the Government of India by making it mandatory for all individuals joining Central Government services (except Armed Forces) on or after January 01, 2004. Gradually, NPS was implemented by various state governments for their employees and then NPS was extended to ‘All Citizen of India’ in May, 2009.

In NPS, the contributions made by the subscriber, are pooled in a pension fund which are invested by PFRDA regulated Pension Fund Managers as per approved guidelines. A Subscriber may invest his/ her NPS contribution in any one of the eight Pension Fund Managers (PFMs) empanelled under NPS. All empanelled PFMs under NPS are well known, have long standing credibility and are powerful brands in the financial sector. The fund is invested in a diversified portfolio comprising of Government Bonds, Corporate Debentures and shares. The contributions accumulated in the NPS account grow over a period of time, depending upon the returns on the investments done.

Any individual from 18-65 years of age can join NPS and remain invested till 70. If you are looking for long term investment and your objective is to create sufficient corpus for your post retirement days, the suggested investment option is NPS. Following are some of the few points, which make investing in NPS a smart choice, as far as retirement income is concerned:

1. Customized investment option:

NPS allows you to choose from any one of the Pension Fund Managers (PFMs) appointed by the PFRDA (Pension Regulator) to manage your pension fund.

2. Portability:

One of the core attributes of NPS is portability of NPS account number –Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN) - across all sectors and geographies. This implies that you can shift your PRAN from one employer to another and can also continue self-contribution during the period when one is not actively engaged with any employer.

3. Low cost structure:

The account maintenance costs under NPS are the lowest as compared to similar pension products available in India including the retirement plans offered by Insurance companies and mutual funds. While saving for a long-term goal such as retirement, the cost matters a lot. Over a period of 35 to 40 years, the charges can shave off a significant amount from the corpus. The pension wealth accumulation grows over a period of time with a compounding effect. The overall administrative charges being low, the benefit of accumulated pension wealth to the subscriber eventually become large.

4. Unique Tax Benefit:

Any individual who is subscriber of NPS can claim tax deduction up to 10% of gross income under Sec 80 CCD (1) with in the overall ceiling of Rs. 1.5 lac under Sec 80 CCE. Apart from that an additional deduction for the investment up to Rs. 50,000 in NPS (Tier I account) has been exclusively available for NPS under subsection 80CCD (1B). This is over and above the deduction of Rs. 1.5 lakh available under sec 80C of Income Tax Act. 1961.

The aforesaid points distinctly made NPS an exceptional avenue of saving for retirement. NPS provides a unique user experience during this long period - whether it is related to subscriber servicing at various stages of life, demographic details updation, ease of access or any kind of service requests being made in the System. Through the Protean

website one can easily open an NPS account as well as track their investments in this scheme. The company provides a range of services to NPS subscribers such as account management and opening, fund processing, customer service and providing easy pay-out solutions.

Chandrapura Chandor

 

Chandor, known in ancient times as Chandrapura, is one of Goa's most historically significant sites. Located in South Goa along the Kushavati River, it served as the fortified seat of power for multiple early dynasties. 

Today, all that remains of the ancient fortress are a few sections of external walls and archaeological relics. The history of Chandor Fort spans several key eras: 

1. The Early Dynasties (Bhojas and Mauryas)

• Origins: Archaeological evidence, including Satavahana-era pottery dating back to 200 BCE, suggests the area was inhabited long before the better-known empires took over.
• The Bhojas: Chandrapura served as the prominent capital of the Bhoja kings, who ruled from the 4th century CE. 

2. The Kadamba Era (6th to 14th Century)

• Seat of Power: The Kadamba dynasty established Chandrapura as their capital, turning it into a prosperous center of trade, Hindu culture, and commerce. 
• Shiva Temple & Nandi: During this time, they built a grand Shiva temple. Today, visitors can still see remnants of the temple alongside a headless, 11th-century statue of the sacred bull, Nandi. 
• Destruction: After attacks by Muslim invaders in 1312 and subsequent sacks in 1327, the Kadambas eventually relocated their capital. 

3. The Portuguese Period (16th Century Onward)

• Decline: When the Portuguese arrived in the 16th century, they shifted their primary capital and trading hub north to Ela (Old Goa). 
• Religious Conversion: The Portuguese subsequently destroyed many of the original Hindu structures and temples, and many local families converted to Roman Catholicism. 
• Colonial Mansions: To reward converted families, the Portuguese granted them trade rights, leading to the construction of grand mansions. The Menezes Braganza House and the Fernandes Heritage House still stand today as towering examples of Portuguese-Goan architecture. 

4. The Legend of the Queen's Curse

• The Suicide: Local folklore recounts a tragic battle in which local residents failed to defend their king against invaders. The queen, enraged by her subjects' cowardice, committed suicide.
• The Curse: Before dying, she stamped her footprint onto a stone and cursed the village, pronouncing that all its women would become widows. This stone footprint is still preserved in Chandor today.
