Parents fretting over the fact that their children couldn't get into the much-coveted college despite scoring 90%- plus in the class X exams may be shocked to know that part of the problem is that just too many children crossed the 90-plus mark this year. Data collected from the state board reveals that there are 4,083 students from the city who have scored over 90% this year.

The corresponding state-wide number stands at 13,679. In other words, if 1.63% of Mumbai's class X students scored over 90%, one in every five students (20%) from the CBSE board crossed the magical figure. Of the 3,345 CBSE students who took the class X exam this year, 650 have scored 90%-plus. The ICSE board refused to part with pertinent information.

Moreover, the state's marks normalisation formula -- which intends to put students of all boards on par -- has inflated the marks of thousands of others who scored between 85% and 89%, thus expanding the population of the elite 90 percentile club.

So, if there are 1,021 CBSE students who scored between 80% and 89%, sources in the state board say there are 4,000 to 4,500 students from Mumbai who have scored between 85% and 89%.

Last year, DG Ruparel College was the only institution to close its admission counters over 90% after the final list. This year, colleges such as HR College of Commerce and Economics, KC College, Jai Hind College, which closed admissions below 80% last year, have filled up over 85% of their seats with 90 percentile-plus students. That itself goes on to show the large pool of top scorers that the city has this year.

1. If the flat owner is using the flat for running a business, should he pay residential rated value or commercial rate for property tax?

2. If the flat owner has rented the flat to a commercial business operator, what kind of agreement should be in existence between the two? Leave & licence or other? What is the property tax rate to be charged in this case?

3. Please enlighten me on any other applicable rules and regulations that govern such arrangements.

The ICC is a monopolist and that is why it is charging such high rates. These charges include repair and maintenance at Rs 73.59 per month, which amounts to almost RS 883 per year. In fact, even television companies charge only Rs 700 for their annual maintenance contracts. Puneites should make sure ICC brings down the monthly charges.
