Ref: - Are PM, FM, RBI Governor & SEBI Chairman listening? Dear Sir When in mid 2003 after retirement, I shifted in my present 3 bed room rented flat at Dwarka, New Delhi, it used to cost Rupees 1.2 million. Because due to personal reasons I am required to stay in Delhi hence my relatives and friends advised me to purchase similar flat in Delhi. Hence I started managing Rs 1.2 million for the purchase of similar flat which I succeeded within few months. But to my dismay the price of such flats rose hence I started managing additional funds in order to take care of this price rise.
