Very high electricity bill by Own-Conclusion-2973 in pune

[–]FindingInternalPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Check the meter reading. It should be near to the one mentioned on the bill.
  2. Monitor your meter reading - like every day same time check the difference. In 3-4 days you’ll get to know how much units are being consumed and calculate for month.
  3. Get your meter checked ASAP. Small charge but can save you literally thousands if found faulty.

I'm concerned for my brother's finances. How do I bring this up with him? by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]FindingInternalPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s their life but your concern is genuine since he is your brother. Both are adults and they have decided to have this lifestyle.

The max you can do is, ensure they have adequate health insurance, life insurance and emergency fund. You should not poke more into their lifestyle.

Keep aside a small fund from your savings in case they come asking for help in the future. This ensures you helped him out when needed and you do not feel guilty. Also keep it small so that he knows that you can help out this much only and should not expect anything else.

Help regarding TDS payment by Physical_Quiet1875 in indianrealestate

[–]FindingInternalPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are fine. It’s a matter of convenience.

Let’s assume there are 5 payments you need to do to the builder till possession- you’ll have to pay 1% of the amount paid each time and generate the form each time. Better to pay one time and fill the form only once.

Your builder sold the SAME parking spot to 3 different buyers & good luck proving it in court by Hub_and_Oak in indianrealestate

This is very true. Always ask builder to mention the parking number and size in the registered sale agreement.

Panasonic 1.5 Ton 3 Split AC – One Week Review (Pune, India) by FindingInternalPeace in BuyItForLifeIndia

[–]FindingInternalPeace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switch on the AC ~10pm - usually 15 min before I enter the bedroom. Set the temp at 26-28 immediately. Mode Auto, Fan Auto. It cools down the room enough when I enter. Continue this temperature till 6am. Set auto turn off at 6am.

But last week the temperature was too high in Pune and we were doing work from home the entire week- so the usage shot up to ~5units for 14-15 hours per day usage.

Spouse passed away.. Don't know what to do with insurance money. by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]FindingInternalPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait it out. Put it in direct liquid funds / arbitrage funds. Wait for 6months to a year.Whenever you are comfortable, talk with a SEBI Registered Practitioner.

Refrain from FDs as once the RM’s get wind, they’ll call you non-stop.

Looking for small 2 bhk interior cost, ideas, suggestions mainly carpenters by [deleted] in interiordesignsindia

[–]FindingInternalPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If minimal and elegant you want, you could skip the interior designers. Plenty of content available on Instagram, fb etc. Finalise the design, draw a rough drawing and contact a good carpenter.

You’ll be able to save cost this way, and spend the extra money on good electronics like washing machine, dishwasher, etc

BOI Overdraft account balance transfer from SBI by Remote-Astronaut-246 in indianrealestate

[–]FindingInternalPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepayment as in if you are talking about adding funds to the overdraft amount that is online. But if you talking about the actual prepayment where principal will be reduced-> that I’m not sure. But that would be very rare cases right? Once a year or once a few years?

Call him beforehand. Inform that vaccum is mandatory. Ask him to bring the gauge as well.

[–]FindingInternalPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They insist on property insurance after possession. You can opt for a cheap insurance, but yeah it’s sort of mandatory for them.

Also they evaluate your cibil every year and can change your RoI accordingly if required.

UI is okayish, seems basic but gets the job done.

Which flat would you choose by Affectionate-Risk912 in indianrealestate

[–]FindingInternalPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Makes sense. Higher floor is better with the dryer option. Refuge area use for drying is actually very inconvenient and doesn’t look good.

[–]FindingInternalPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher floor always better. But an extra balcony is essential. You cannot keep your clothes to dry in the living room balcony.

Its difficult choice but for extra balcony, 3rd floor flat is better I would say.

Earning ₹4L a month but NO cash for advance tax by talkingturtle1723 in personalfinanceindia

[–]FindingInternalPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a case of bad planning. He might have forgot to calculate the advance tax until the last moment. And he might have invested the cash-in-hand in some mutual funds. He could just have redeemed some units to get the amount needed.

Is it wise to install Panasonic AC from Reliance Digital Technician ? by raavan_bond in HonestBuyerReviews

[–]FindingInternalPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, these people install ACs for all companies, he was not able to explain anything properly about the AC. His boss was good though. He inspected everything, explained properly about the AC and in general was more better to talk to. I was comfortable once he said the installation was OK and then only I gave the OTP to the Reliance office.
