I wanted to purchase a plot in 2021 in Visakhapatnam and approached a mediator. That mediator took to an another mediator who himself pretended to be an owner and I was forced to pay him Rs.1.50 L towards token amount. Since the day I paid token money, he started insisting to pay full amount towards sale consideration before the registration of land takes place. I believe he had entered into an unregistered agreement with the owner and he does not want me to introduce myself to the owner. I insisted him to introduce me to the owner, but in vain. We mutually, fixed a date for registration. I went to Vizag from Hyderabad for this purpose. Further, he was supposed to get a survey number clearance certificate from MRO which he failed to get it till last moment of registration day. I was also supposed to complete the process of registration and leave for Hyderabad that particular day. Because of his non-cooperation, dominating nature, dictating answers over phone and delaying process, I cancelled the deal and informed over phone as well as Whatapp and cam back to Hyderabad. Since then (almost 3 years), he paid only Rs.50,000/- and Rs.1.00 lakh has still to be paid by him. I have been persuading from time to time and he has been postponing the re-payment. At the time of payment made, he signed a receipt for the payment received in which he has also written all the details of property even though the property did not belong to him formally. I would now request you to please advise me what are the option I have to recover my money from him.
Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the mediator, and it sounds like a frustrating situation. Here are some options you can consider to recover your money:
1. Legal Action: You can consider taking legal action against the mediator to recover your money. This may involve filing a civil lawsuit for breach of contract or fraud. Consult with a lawyer who specializes in property disputes to understand your legal rights and options.
2. Mediation or Arbitration: Before pursuing litigation, you may want to explore options for mediation or arbitration. This involves a neutral third party helping you and the mediator reach a resolution outside of court. It can be a faster and more cost-effective way to resolve disputes.
3. Demand Letter: Sending a formal demand letter to the mediator may prompt them to take action to resolve the issue. The letter should outline the details of the agreement, the amount owed, and a deadline for payment. Keep a copy of the letter for your records.
4. Negotiation: You can try negotiating directly with the mediator to reach a mutually acceptable solution. This could involve agreeing on a repayment plan or other terms to settle the debt.
5. Reporting to Authorities: If you believe the mediator engaged in fraudulent or illegal activities, you may consider reporting them to the appropriate authorities, such as the police or consumer protection agency.
It's important to gather any evidence you have related to the transaction, such as receipts, agreements, and correspondence, to support your case. Consider seeking advice from a legal professional to explore the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.

Career
Hi. I am currently 29. Married with no kids. Wife not earning. Planning for a kid this year. Monthly earning 60k post tax. Have savings of 2 lakhs. Have personal loan of 9 lakhs. Monthly expenses 40k including emi's. I have lost interest in job and I don't want to work anymore. I want to do business which can give monthly 50 to 60k income. Max I can invest 2lakhs. Is there any business which I can start with 2 lakhs and generate monthly income of 60k ? I am frustrated with working under an employer. I want to start my own venture. Please suggest.
Ans: Spandan, pause before you mail the resignation.

Your maths
60 k take-home
40 k spends (15 k of that is EMI on a 9 L loan)
→ 20 k buffer

A newborn will nudge monthly costs up by 8-10 k. Cash cushion shrinks fast.

So the plan must earn while you learn, not leap blind.

Keep the paycheck six more months.
Use evenings to test micro-ideas. Risk stays capped at ?0 for now.

Choose a “cash-this-month” niche, not a moon-shot.
Pick work that turns inventory ≤ ?50 k into sales inside 30 days.

Tiffin + office snacks (two dishes, 40 boxes) - ?25 k utensils, ?10 k FSSAI, ?5 k flyers - ?120 per box × 40 = ?4.8 k /day

Amazon / Flipkart reselling (phone cases, cables) ?40 k stock, ?15 k ads 25 % net margin on ?2 L monthly sales = ?50 k

Weekend print-on-demand & personalised gifting kiosk ?45 k heat-press kit (other options are there too) ?300 profit per mug × 200 pcs → ?60 k Bring Your Mug - Take Away Memories.

Local social-media management for clinics & salons ?0 gear, ?3 k Canva Pro ?8 k-?12 k per client; 6 clients hit target

None need heavy staff or rent. All can run beside your day job.

Set one simple goal: ?15 k profit by Day-30.
Hit it twice, raise target to ?35 k. Only when side income beats salary three months straight do you quit.

This is critical - Plug leaks early. Refinance personal loan to longer tenor; shave EMI to ~?10 k.

Park 1 L of savings in an emergency account—no touch.Skill up tiny, daily.
Watch a YouTube on ad copy, take a WhatsApp course on GST filings. Low cost, immediate payback.

Start small, sell fast, reinvest every rupee. Freedom comes, but by steps, not by one loud jump.
