VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM a Project Specific & Private Real Estate Discussion Forum for Affected People

Our Mission is to educate and motivate flat, plot, land buyers to take adequate precaution before and after the investment in real estate projects. Normally people do not dare and unite to ask builders uncomfortable questions or problems they face. VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM is the place where people without disclosing their identity can discuss on the projects they have invested in. Unless affected people unite they are not able to take proper step in case of any problems. This forum will be for discussion as well as for guidance from other  members and team of vijaykumbhar.com. Members of particular forum will decide on their own to take  or not any action regarding that specific project if needed.This is a subscription based forum . 


Time and again, government brings in restrictions and imposes prohibitions to protect buyers of property, be it land, plot, apartments or bungalows. Despite that, scams and scandals keep surfacing on a regular basis. Builders and project proponents of plotting schemes, find loopholes in laws and regulations, play different tricks, play with words, and give deceptive promises and so on. They run scams like selling proposed N-A Plots, Villa plots, farmhouses, affordable housing, promising to double your money by investing in plotting or plantation schemes  etc. They never fulfill promises they give to flat buyers. They appoint smart staff and agents. Most of the time, staff and agents get paid more than what they deserve and hence they don’t hesitate to deceive own relatives or acquaintances.

It is not the case that government official don’t understand or are not aware of such cases but they are hand in glove with promoters of such schemes and land mafias and so they turn a blind eye to such crimes. For buyers or small investors, it is difficult to know what is right and what is wrong. They do not understand how to move forward if there is problem with a project they have invested money in or if they have bought a flat. So what is the remedy?

One should always take ample care before investing in any scheme. Discuss it before & after investing in it. But the basic problem is buyers or small investors of such schemes are always scared and scattered. They do not dare to ask anything to builders or promoters of such schemes.

To discuss such matters we introduce VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM, a project specific private discussion forum. In this forum, members are supposed to share the information and discuss regarding that specific real estate project only. That will help, proposed or existing buyers to find out the truth, factual problems of specific real estate projects and to decide future course of action, if any.

We assure complete secrecy of member’s identity and also assure that we will not allow any building or plotting project to advertise on VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM unless we are satisfied with the credentials of that particular project.


To enable  team of VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM to guide forum, initially we will start forums on projects in Pune and Mumbai revenue area only. That means these forums will be for existing and proposed  residential, plotting or any other real estate  projects in  Pune , Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane , Palghar, Satara , Sangli, Kolhapur, Ratnagiri, Raigad, Sindhudurg and Sholapur districts only

“Deceptive real estate investment schemes” and Right To Information

Mumbai pune nashik is called Golden Triangle of Maharashtra because of its best connectivity with Mumbai. As Pune and Nashik continue to be hot destinations for realty investments, here is huge demand for land from urban rich.


This demand is specially more in  Maval and Mulshi talukas because they are known for  fine scenic spots. But marring this tag, they are getting the dubious distinction of being the hotbed of fraudulent land deals.The changing of ownership titles of large tracts of land in Mulshi and Maval talukas, in Pune district, without the knowledge of original title holders, most of them farmers, to build resorts and farmhouses for the urban rich, is a scandal that has been going on for over a decade.


It is not the case that government doesn’t know this, but most of these deals are done with hand in gloves of land mafias with politicians and bureaucrats. You go anywhere in any village of these taluks you will find every big politicians ( despite of which party he/she belongs to) or bureaucrat land here .Hence common person cannot have easy access to land records in these taluks. Not even that , you will not find mulshi taluk on collector’s official website.

If anybody tries to go in details of the Land records here, Mafias by hook or crook silent him/her. RTI activist Satish Shetty was killed because of the information he procured of massive land scams in Talegaon and Lonavala. The land sharks in Pune district are ripping off original land titles, and his killers are still moving scot free.

There is another angle to this story also. People always fall in love of investment offers of plantation schemes, Calm, Private, Luxurious and yet open Farm house plots with Sunrise / sunset point, Swimming pool, Landscape garden, Exclusive Developed demarcated plots with Boundary Fencing, forest walks along the periphery etc. etc –

What may restrictions and prohibitions SEBI, RBI or the government impose to tackle collective investment schemes or Ponzi real estate investment companies. Financial scams and scandal rock the country on regular basis, promising quick money to gullible small investors. They find loopholes in laws and regulations, play different tricks, play with the words, and give deceptive promises and so on.

To tackle this issue, Right To information is the best solutions.

Number of fools who want to get cheated is multi million times more than the actual cheaters in Ponzi Investment schemes

Why Ponzi schemes flourish?, Why so called Investors don’t learn lesson from earlier frauds?. It is not the case that promoters of such schemes are clever or intelligent. Actual reason for that must be the number of fools who want to get cheated is multi million times more than the actual cheaters.


People always fall in love of investment offers of plantation schemes, Calm, Private, Luxurious and yet open Farm house plots with Sunrise / sunset point, Swimming pool, Landscape garden, Exclusive Developed demarcated plots with Boundary Fencing, forest walks along the periphery etc. etc.

Promoters of such scheme always develop good relationships with investors . They only cheat or appoint and encourage such agents who can cheat near and dear ones. They keep changing their business names frequently. Yesterday what was “x” county next day it becomes “y” county. And what they promised in earlier scheme may not be the same in latest scheme. For example suppose they promised you non agriculture plot residential plot on same property may sale it today as agriculture land ideal for plantation scheme.

Since last some years such schemes are on its high in and around pune. Unfortunately now a day promoters of such schemes some times find government officials to rope in it. Actually as per law no public servant can promote and advertise such schemes but when so called investors see public servant talking nice about any scheme they assume that scheme is legal one.

Currently there is ban on collective investment schemes hence these people don’t name it as investment scheme but all the things in there promises lead to it only. Now  a days they promise you peace of land that doesn’t belong to them, they never tell you survey numbers until you invest initial amount. So such investors should take care of following things

1) Check credentials of promoters

2) See that what he had promised on same land earlier; Ask him why he changed the name of scheme? It is easy in these social media days.

3) There is ceiling on possessing agriculture land, If any body claims that some hundred acres agriculture land in his name, it sure that he is lying

4) You must be agriculturist if you want to purchase agriculture land. If promoter says he will make some “Jugad” to prove you agriculturist. Be sure that he has done everything by “ Jugad” in said scheme

5) Unless promoter shows exact survey nos don’t believe in him. If he says he will tell survey no after investing something then is surely there is something fishy.

6) Don’t invest any paisa before knowing exact status of land i.e. hill top, hill slope, agriculture land, N. A plot or anything. There is no such thing like proposed N.A. land is either N.A or agriculture.

7) check ready reckoner rates of lands in and around Pune here - http://igrmaharashtra.gov.in:8080/eASRCommon.aspx?hDistName=Pune.Normaly they charge 50 times more than actual rate, check whether the money you are spending  is worth.

8) See how much is difference in ready reckoner rate and sales price and think whether it is justified ?

7) Always remember Malin and Katraj before investing any thing on hill top hill slope.
