I’m planning to build an Indian education website showcasing course details from various institutes and colleges. I’d also like to include e-books for these courses. Do I need permission from the colleges to list their details? Can I legally include course books in text format, even if they’re written by other authors? I want to make sure I’m not doing anything illegal with copyright. Any advice on navigating this?

You’ll likely need permission from the colleges to list their course details, as it may constitute commercial use of their intellectual property. Regarding e-books, you’ll need permission from the authors and publishers to include any copyrighted text, even in text format. Consult a legal professional specializing in intellectual property and copyright law in India to ensure compliance.

I booked a flat in Panvel back in 2013, and the builder promised possession by 2015 or 2016. The initial allotment letter didn’t mention a specific possession date. Later, they issued a new allotment letter changing the payment schedule, which I didn’t agree to. I want to either transfer or cancel the flat, but the builder insists on a 5% penalty for cancellation and forbids transfers. They also say the refund will only happen after finding a new buyer. I’ve already paid around 40% of the total cost. What are my options?

I bought a flat in Noida Extension and paid half the price upfront. ICICI Bank was financing the rest. In December 2015, the builder sent me a demand letter for the remaining payment. I forwarded this to ICICI, who contacted the builder for the required documents. The builder refused, claiming delays from the Greater Noida Authority. The builder finally received the documents in April and the payment was settled. Now, the builder is demanding interest from December to March, saying the initial demand was raised in December, but the delay was from their side. Is this fair?
