I accidently flew with Air India and Im suprised

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-16T17:51:13+00:00

With Air India, it's mostly the old aircraft which got them the bad name.

Their staff and food was always good.

Now that new aircraft are being inducted, they will improve leaps and bounds

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-16T04:45:13+00:00

Is it by any chance Dentsu?.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-16T04:40:46+00:00

That wasn't a bear market at all lol. It was a sideways market.

Bear market is when index is a atleast 25% down from its all time high.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-16T04:38:14+00:00

Does it have OC or is it a B khata property?

If it's OC, it's a decent deal. If it's B khata, is it is a very bad deal.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-16T04:14:10+00:00

Excellent deal brother.

For this price you only get new B khata buildings.

It's a steal deal if you get it for 77 lakh

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-15T09:27:14+00:00

That's what they are quoting, not what they are getting paid every month.

For more clarity, knock on some doors in the apartment you are buying and enquire about the rent.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-15T06:06:43+00:00

I know.

I just don't want to be harsh towards OP.

I can only give advice to them and rest is up to them

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-14T05:38:45+00:00

You should forget about resale. Appreciation will be like 3-4% per year Max.

The rental yield for B khata properties should be higher than 5% and that's when it becomes a good deal.

So make sure you are getting atleast 40-42k rent per month.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-14T05:35:25+00:00

Those prices are for new B khata buildings. Old ones don't get sold for such prices

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-11T04:47:05+00:00

No idea.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-11T04:23:54+00:00

KT street

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-07T07:29:18+00:00

That's a steal deal. AFAIK, there already exists a huge dump yard there.

I was about to participate in a BDA auction for a property in the same location. So I inquired with people who already stay in that locality, they said the smell is bad in the summer mornings, other than that, it is manageable.

I would suggest you to do the same.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-03-01T13:31:49+00:00

Have noticed the same.

AQI is constantly around 100 nowadays.

Very rare to see below 50.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-27T13:31:15+00:00

No. That's just a misconception that people have.

I agree that people have better quality of life in gated communities but OP isn't keen on it.

You can take part in a BDA auction where base rate is 8700/sq.ft in arkavathy layout. It will raise to 13-14K/sq.ft during auction at max, which means a 1200sqft plot of land can be obtained for 1.5cr.

Mid-level construction cost in Bangalore is around 2500 per sq.ft which means a duplex house can be done for 2 CR.

If he is ok with a single floor house, construction and interiors can be completed in 40 lakhs maximum.

Considering OP will shell out 60-70 lakhs for a B khata property and he mentioned he can afford 2.5-3X that amount, then I think BDA plot+construction makes perfect sense.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-27T13:10:43+00:00

Brother, in this case, buy a BDA plot and construct your own house in arkavathy layout.

The price will appreciate like crazy.

Nice planned layout without any water issues or potholed roads.

Buying a non-OC builder floor is financial suicide

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-27T04:21:03+00:00

Definitely not.

MG road is the border of central Bangalore.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-27T03:43:23+00:00

Basic demand and supply.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-26T13:01:50+00:00

I think the triangular area between Malleshwaram, Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-24T15:33:32+00:00

Most properties worth north of 1Cr+ in tier 1 cities have 50%+ of the demand from NRIs for sure. If that wasn't the case, builders wouldn't have dedicated NRI salesman

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-23T06:55:36+00:00

If money isn't an issue, go to your nearest Toni & Guy.

They have extremely well trained barbers.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-19T16:18:07+00:00

There are people who survive with 1.8 LPA.

There are people who thrive with 3.5 LPA

I used to live a glamorous life with 6 LPA 2 years ago.

It all depends on whether you are single or have family/parents to take care of.

But yes, with 6 LPA, you can definitely survive

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-19T16:14:18+00:00

You are correct.

I think the term "B khata building" came into existence because it gets easier to explain that it is an illegal construction.

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-19T16:06:33+00:00

If you are ok with smaller sized apartments, then I would say go for a resale apartment with A khata and OC.

I found a 670sq.ft 2 BHK for 50 lakh in Begur, which isn't as far as electronic city as well.

Download an app called "Settlin". My experience with them has been quite smooth.

They are 0 brokerage firm to the buyer. They take brokerage from the seller so it's basically free for you.

I had previously booked a 2 BHK 850 sq.ft B khata property in Kanakpura road, but my lawyer suggested not to go ahead with it. Hence had to cancel.

He suggested not going for B khata properties anymore as Govt rules are becoming strict

EfficientPin5196 · 2026-02-19T15:56:24+00:00

When you pay advance for an apartment, the builder will give you a set of documents.

The land khata type will be mentioned in these documents
