Can any one advise on this please...
My friend has recently bought a flat. The flat was shown by one broker initially and agreement to sell was also made, which could not be executed in time and as per the agreement conditions, mainly because of mis-information provided by the broker. Later, my friend succeeded in purchasing the same flat through another broker who provided all assistance for registration etc and he paid the brokerage fee to him. The previous broker, who was still the broker of the seller, is now also asking his commission from my friend as well and when it was refused, he is threatening to lodge a FIR. There was no agreement with him by him for payment of the commission at any time.
What is the legal position in this, can any one advise please. more

Yes Agarwal sahib ji, I am also very thankful to persons like you who gave their valuable advise free of cost and in this process others also learnt about the TDS implication on purchase of property from NRI's as well as unscrupulous brokers prevailing in the market who build their empires and travel in Mercedes cars bought from the commissions only without providing any real value for the money they get from buyers and sellers. By the way, this broker owns two Mercedes. more

After my 23rd little suggestion as precautionary measures, I could go through all the exchanges of ideas and feel like thanking everyone, who have contributed their bit from their valuable time and now made the issue hopefully so very simple to deal with. Really this type of exchanges of ideas create wide spread awareness within the Society at large and helps many to deal with such scrupulous elements with determination to see that no one dares to behave wrongly with anyone. Each and everyone should learn at each moment. God bless all our such true friends and so much public spirited that has been lacking for many many years. Thanks again. more
