Shriram Codename Dil Chahta Hai

Shriram Codename Dil Chahta Hai is filed under Hosur Road, with a postal code of 562107, but the developer has not published a street address, a landmark or any distances. So the first job is simple: get the exact pin location from the seller and see the site for yourself before you shortlist a flat.

Hosur Road is the main route out of the city to the south-east, and many people living along it work in the offices and factories on that side. If that is you, drive from the gate to your workplace at your usual hour, then make the return trip in the evening rush. If you work elsewhere in Bangalore, test that longer route too, because it may decide the matter.

Walk around the gate area after the drive. Note the nearest grocery, pharmacy and clinic, and whether buses and autos are easy to find. The retail spaces inside the campus cover small daily needs, so check which shops are actually running. Ask residents how the approach road copes in the rains and how reliable the water supply has been since they moved in.

Shriram Codename Dil Chahta Hai was built in two plans, both with two bedrooms, measured as built-up area rather than carpet: about 698 sq ft and about 752 sq ft. Neither is available from the developer any more, so you will be buying a flat that someone already owns and may have lived in or let out.

On resale, the owner decides the price, and the original launch figure is no guide to what is fair today. Compare asking rates per square foot across flats in different blocks and floors. Then adjust for facing, parking and the state of the interiors, since a flat lived in since 2021 may need paint, plumbing or electrical work.

A completed flat with an occupancy certificate carries no GST. Registration and stamp duty apply on the sale value. Before you agree a price, ask the seller for a written list of:

• The agreed price and the area it covers
• The parking bay that transfers with the flat
• The association's transfer fee
• Pending maintenance, tax or utility dues
• Stamp duty and registration
• Broker's fee, if any

Shriram Codename Dil Chahta Hai has the RERA number PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/181122/002156 on file. Look it up on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in, and check that the registration covers the block your flat is in. A campus of 20 blocks is often registered in phases, so the entry you see may not cover every building.

For a resale flat, the ownership trail matters as much as the approvals. Ask the seller for:

• The occupancy certificate for the block
• The seller's registered sale deed from the developer
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest tax receipt
• An encumbrance certificate for the years the seller has owned it
• A no-dues letter from the residents' association
• A loan closure letter, if the flat was mortgaged

Make sure the name on every paper matches the person signing. A ready flat transfers on a sale deed, so ownership passes on the day you register. After that, move the khata, electricity and water accounts into your name.

Shriram Codename Dil Chahta Hai has twenty blocks of 12 floors sharing 19 acres, so this is a campus, not a building. The developer has not published the open-space share, so walk from your block to the clubhouse, the pool and the gate and time it. Brochure images show the plan as the developer drew it; what matters now is the finished site.

A morning could start with a lap of the jogging track or a session in the gym, followed by a swim. Children have their own play area, and older ones can take over the basketball court and the other outdoor courts. On a wet evening, the games room and table tennis keep everyone busy.

The party area is there for birthdays and family events, and the landscaped gardens are good for a walk after dinner. Shops inside the campus save small trips out. Ask the residents' association what the monthly maintenance charge is, what it covers, and how well the pool and courts have been kept up since December 2021. Check how many lifts your block has too.
