  4. The single biggest CRIME of this govt has been to provide a longest running real estate amnesty scheme in the country. Instead of trying to lug holes for parking of black money in the real estate sector, the govt has turned a small leakage into a river. The prices of properties have skyrocketed across the country. I am not sure in this age and time, what is stopping the govt to use basic technology to document 100% of the transactions? Some basis rules such as limiting individuals from holing 03 or 04 residential properties, higher taxes on un-utilized residential property plots for over 03 years and similar regulations will ensure availability of affordable houses for the masses.
