Family behind the farm
No plans to cut fuel costs
A luxury Audi A3 convertible making daily rounds in residential areas has become a familiar sight in this NCR city. Behind the wheel is Amit Bhadana, a 34-year-old former banker, who now delivers milk instead of managing corporate accounts.Amit Bhadana left his job in the banking sector and joined his family's dairy business during the Covid pandemic. Initially, he helped out his brother as a stopgap arrangement, but it soon turned into a full-time role."I initially used my 750CC Harley Davidson for deliveries. But the scorching summer sun made it challenging," he says. So, he switched to the Audi convertible. "The weather-adjustable roof makes all the difference. Now, I can stay on the streets for long, even when the roof is retracted," he adds.Each morning, Bhadana drives 60 to 70 kilometres, delivering around 120 litres of milk to homes in Sector 21, Sainik Colony and NIT areas of Faridabad. His delivery vehicle, a Rs 50-lakh Audi cabriolet, has drawn attention from local residents and beyond."Every delivery run is like a joyride now. I'm living my passion for luxury vehicles, but honouring our family tradition at the same time," he says.The Bhadana family runs a dairy farm in Mohatabad village. The farm houses 32 cows and 6 buffaloes. His father Ram Avtar, a retired Army man, oversees the farm operations. Amit's brother Lalit helps manage the dairy, while another brother Raj Singh looks after events. His wife and two daughters complete the family.Despite spending around Rs 400 on fuel daily, Bhadana has no plans to change vehicles. Requests for milk have started coming in from new areas as word spreads about the man who delivers milk in a luxury convertible.Come winter, Bhadana plans to bring back his Harley Davidson for the rounds. Until then, he continues to be a familiar and unusual sight on the streets — the milkman in an Audi.

Rs 5,000 to register mutually divided ancestral property
1 2 Lucknow: The department of stamp and registration is working on a proposal to cut down stamp duty for partition of properties from 7% of the value of a property to a flat Rs 5,000. Partition of property refers to division of ancestral property among various claimants. Due to the high cost of registration of 'aapsi sehmati' or mutual consent settlements, families end up going to revenue or civil courts which means that matters can get dragged on for months, if not years. By easing registration charges, the government hopes to reduce pendency in civil and revenue courts. An official confirmed that the proposal will be taken to Cabinet for clearance in about a month. Partition of property is when the co-owners of a property mutually agree to divide the property among themselves and accordingly get it registered under Article 45 of the Registration Act, 1908. For instance, if an ancestral house is owned by two siblings, and two generations down they have 16 descendants, then the property needs to be divided into 16 parts, which includes the decision on which part of the property goes to whom. "Registration of stamp duty is 5% of the property price in Noida and 7% in the rest of the state. To avoid this cost, families end up going to the revenue department or to civil courts which could take months to dispose of each matter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet - The Prices May Surprise You!

To reduce this burden, a flat rate of Rs 5,000 per registration has been proposed," said minister Ravindra Jaiswal. In fact, the idea to reduce registration to a flat rate was mooted by chief minister Yogi Adityanath in 2024 not just to reduce pendency in courts but since in the case of partition there is no sale or purchase of property but just division, it was felt that high registration rates were unfair on citizens. Meanwhile, other aspects of property settlement within families where a similar reduction in stamp registration can be expected within the next few months include settlement under Article 58 of the Registration Act, 1908, where a person distributes property among heirs while still alive, release, and exchange of ancestral properties.

States rally behind AP in fight for industrial alcohol regulation
Vijayawada: The state govt has sparked a debate over regulatory control of industrial alcohol following a high-profile seizure linked to illicit liquor production. Inspired by Andhra Pradesh 's decisive action, several states are preparing to push the Centre for jurisdiction over industrial alcohol — a domain traditionally under central authority. AP recently invoked a Supreme Court ruling to file criminal cases against individuals illegally transporting spirit intended for spurious liquor. In a major crackdown recently, excise and prohibition officials arrested 36 individuals and seized over 2,232 litres of diverted spirit, alongside counterfeit liquor bottles and packaging materials. Investigations unearthed a well-organised supply chain: spirit obtained under industrial pretenses like hand sanitizer production was rerouted for illegal liquor manufacture. Two repeat offenders confessed to sourcing ethanol via a Telangana-based pharma firm exploiting its RS-III license and pandemic-era permissions. The company—granted temporary sanitizer production rights during Covid-19 — allegedly misused them by diverting undenatured ethanol to operators in Andhra Pradesh. The network extended beyond Andhra Pradesh, with supporting materials like empty liquor bottles, brand labels, and caps being procured from Mumbai-based vendors— underscoring its scale and sophistication The Palakollu case prompted other states to seek input from AP authorities, who have since been approached for guidance and invited to lead a seminar on regulatory powers over industrial alcohol. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Clearance Sale: Exclusive handcrafted handbags - now 70% off Handmakers Report Read Now Undo However, the issue took a new twist after the arrival of GST regime. While the states continue to demand for control, the Centre made it clear that it has complete power to regulate, tax and penalise industrial alcohol. The states got the final relief with the latest Supreme Court judgement in Uttar Pradesh Vs Lalita Prasad and others case in 2024. A judgement by a nine-member judge (Constitutional bench) finally said that states would continue to have power on industrial alcohol to regulate the mechanism of supply of alcohol to industries and also potable alcohol.
