110. Britain’s third party
111. ON THE morning of July 30th packed flights left from Johannesburg, in South Africa, to Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. Scores of Zimbabweans were returning to vote in the country’s first election since 1980 without Robert Mugabe on the ballot.
112. In recent decades, the idea of “Western civilisation” has found few fans on American campuses. In a haze of ethnic studies programmes and Stanford's chants of \"Hey, hey, ho, ho, ‘Western Civ’ has got to go!\", many people have lost sight of the principles that make “the West” exceptional.
113. SO MUCH for a fresh start. The elections in Zimbabwe on July 30th were meant to usher in a new era for a country ruined by nearly four decades of misrule by Robert Mugabe. But the vote and its aftermath have showcased an all-too-familiar mix of chicanery and violence on the part of Zanu-PF, the ruling party, and its military backers.
114. AT FIRST glance, the Plaza Mayor might seem like one of Madrid’s tourist traps. English abounds, and advertisements for overpriced sangria and paella hang outside of the many cafes lining the square. Buskers dressed as sailors try to tempt visitors into taking silly photos or buying knick-knacks.
115. ONE is 46 years old, the other is a pensioner. One can dance Bhangra, the other is a ballroom guy. One is prime minister of Canada, the other is leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats, who have just 12 MPs.

187. The Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016 (RERA) came in to force a little more than a year ago. A lot has been said about how in the last one year not much has been achieved by it. However, there is one good thing that has been introduced by RERA-title insurance. The Act mandates the purchase of title insurance for all new and ongoing property developments registered with the regulatory body.HDFC Ergo, a general insurance company, has recently launched 'Title Insurance Policy', a first of its kind product in the private insurance segment in India. Essentially, it provides indemnity to developers and the subsequent owners of the property against losses and risks related to defects in the title arising out of third-party challenges.Now, before we tell you what title insurance covers, here is a look at why there is a need for such a product. Dispute due to title of property A big worry among home-buyers, especially now, is the delay in getting possession of their homes or even worse, the project itself getting stalled. One of the many reasons for a real estate project to get stalled is the claim by some other person on the land being owned by them and not by the builder or developer. A dispute of this nature arises primarily due to the claim on 'ownership', i.e., the 'title' of the property. Title refers to the legal ownership of the property established through the registration of the property documents. Every time, a property is sold and bought, the title. i.e., the ownership changes. And, this may lead to defects in the title itself. "Land records in India are not easily accessible due to lack of digital infrastructure. Moreover, the risk of faulty land records has grown quite high as cost of land across the country has grown exponentially in the last few decades," says Surendra Hiranandani, Chairman & MD, House of Hiranandani.These disputes can generally lead to long drawn court cases involving time and money. Not just for a new construction, such an incident may happen elsewhere too if any individual has bought land or a ready-to-move in property from another individual in a secondary sale transaction.Here is a look at what title insurance covers. What does title insurance cover?Unlike other insurance products, the insurance coverage in title insurance is not restricted to events happening in the future. Simply put, title insurance even covers issues not discovered prior to the commencement date of the policy. Some of the defects in the title may emerge because the title of property may belong to someone other than the insured or the previous deeds of the property being inadequate or because of one of the previous transaction being subject to an act of fraud or forgery by a third party. These incidences may adversely affect insured's rights over the title of the property.Coverage periodEven though the initial cost is borne by the builder, the society may have to pick the tag if required at a later stage. "The premium usually is payable in one single payment for the entire policy period, i.e., ranging from 7 years to 12 years. The policy can be further renewed for a period of 7 or 12 years by the housing society, on expiration of the policy," informs Anurag Rastogi, Member of Executive Management, HDFC ERGO General Insurance.What is in it for home-buyers?Even though title insurance may not be available for home owners of individual land, it will stand to benefit society home-buyers. Once the title insurance policy is bought by a builder by paying the premium amount, it has to be subsequently assigned to the association of allotees of the housing societies, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of the policy. "The current policy is offered to developers with an indemnity limit of over Rs 5 crore, wherein the developments undertaken could be for corporate or residential projects. Having said that, we are evaluating the market for a product which could be offered to individual home owners as well," says Rastogi.In case of any claim by a third-party in the future, the title insurance can be invoked and can indemnify all the home-buyers to the extent of the loss incurred by them. All the defence or legal costs incurred including any out-of-court settlement are covered under the policy. This is in addition to a written affidavit that a builder has to provide to RERA that the legal title to the land on which the development is proposed has legally valid documents with authentication of such title if the land is owned by another person. Will it hike real estate prices?Insurance comes at a cost and there is a possibility that getting a title insurance plan could push up the price of the property. "Hopefully, if there a large number of takers the costs would fall. Right now it (the policy) is prohibitively expensive and would impacts costs and therefore prices," informs Hiranandani. On the other hand, Rastogi feels, "The premium will be a small fraction of property cost and we think this would not impact the property costs at all." In practice, the actual premium will depend on various factors. If the ownership involves a home loan, even the lending institution may be asked to share the cost as their interest is also involved. What should you do?RERA registered builders don't have an option but to get title insurance now. "While, title insurance has been developed stemming from the requirement of RERA that mandates its purchase, the product can be purchased even for non RERA registered properties which was built many years back," says Rastogi. Nothing stops a society association from getting a title insurance cover if there is an iota of a doubt about the title of the land. After all, with the insurance of the title of the land in place, any negative surprise can be kept at bay.
188. Natrajan Chandrasekaran, the chairman of Tata Motors told shareholders that Jaguar Land Rover is facing a "Perfect Storm" this year due to worries over diesel demand in Europe and Brexit worries in UK and the team is looking to find solutions on "an urgent basis."Speaking at the 73rd Annual General Meeting Chandrasekaran said, "The business lost operating leverage due to a combination of slowing demand and higher investments in capex and people. Hence profitability and cash flows were impacted. The entire team is aware of the issues and appreciates the urgent need to find solutions."Apart from the macro-economic headwinds, the automobile industry is undergoing dramatic change with technology disruptions in the form of Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared technologies requiring large investments, said the Chairman. The company on its part will be investing Rs 1.2 lakh crore in Jaguar Land Rover for the coming three to five years to be part of this disruptive change. "We are committed to deliver the EBIT margin of 4-7% between FY19-21 and will work closely with the JLR team to help them achieve the same," assured Chandrasekaran to shareholders despite the challenges. However despite the global headwinds the standalone entity has turned around. Chandrasekaran expressed satisfaction over a sharp turnaround in the domestic business. He reminded them as to how when he met shareholders for 72nd annual general meeting, the commercial vehicle business was losing market share, passenger vehicle was bleeding and stock was under performing, but things are much better on standalone front. The commercial vehicles segment has bounced back post the BS4 migration challenge to post robust share and profitability gains. All segments (with the exception of buses) showed strong growth in fiscal 2018. The volumes grew by 23.3% over fiscal 2017. The company ended the year with 45.1% market share compared to 44.4% share in the previous year. The passenger vehicle business has launched strong products with the latest being an SUV Nexon which has helped in gaining market share and reducing its losses. The volumes grew by 19% over fiscal 2017. The company ended the fiscal 2018 with 5.7% market share compared to 5.1% share in the previous year. He informed shareholders that the business has overall turned cash positive after 5 years. The company on a standalone basis had free cash flows (after considering capex) of Rs 1,330 crores, first time in the last 5 years. The standalone revenues increased to Rs 58,457 crores in fiscal 2018 compared to Rs 44,431 crores in fiscal 2017, demonstrating a strong growth of 31.6%.The business turned profitable on an underlying basis and delivered an EBIT of Rs 535 crores compared to a EBIT loss of Rs 1,385 crores in the previous year. The loss after tax for fiscal 2018 was at Rs 1,035 crores, significantly lower than Rs 2,430 crores in the previous year.In FY-18, Tata Motors consolidated revenues, net of excise, stood at Rs 2,94,243 crores, 9.0% higher as compared to the previous year, mainly due to the growth in the India business and higher wholesale volumes in JLR. The consolidated profit after tax (before minority interest) was higher at Rs 9,091 crores, a growth of 20.3% compared to Rs 7,557 crore in the previous year.The consolidated debt was higher by Rs 10,346 crore at Rs 88,950 crore, mainly due to higher capital expenditure and lower cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis.
