The year 2017 should be for residential real estate investment as the Government is ensuring low interest rates and a slew of incentives via schemes such as the Prime Minister’s Awas Yojana. So, interest in and appetite for real estate investment is back in force – but where should one invest?

This is no time to rely on sponsored advice and blanket generalizations.

can cag audits be more innovative and transformative?
audit, if used properly, can become an effective aid to administration. the thumb rule is that audit must essentially capture the other side of the coin of governance. a responsive, relevant and responsible audit can only complement, supplement, support and strengthen quality governance. right audit themes, analysis and outcome can help administrators conduct a swot analysis of their strengths and weaknesses, providing deeper insights on missing issues to evaluate and take a midcourse corrective and preventive action, and help the government refocus to derive the planned outcome from projects and schemes.
