Licences and large sunk costs are entry barriers.And its small wonder that big money always want to grab licences.Even if businesses are not built round licences,licences are tradeable and so there is always a scope to grow one’s money by doing so.Also owning companies allows people to be part of interesting deals.

After studying the Radia tapes and investigating the matter, the Serious Frauds Investigating Office has uncovered the above money trail.The accused parties maintain that these are legitimate and bona fide real estate transactions.Watching how the case proceeds through the courts and how the political class deals with it,is going to be very educational.

The Difference Between Lease And Leave And Licence

April 21, 2013 15 Comments

A Lease, defined under Section 105 of The Transfer of Property Act, 1882, is a transfer of the right to enjoy the concerned property for a pre-defined time period or in perpetuity. The lessor (owner of the property) gives the lessee (the one leasing the property) such consideration periodically, usually at the beginning or end of a lease agreement.

License is defined in Section 52 of the Indian Easements Act,1882. License does not allow any interest in the premises on the licensee’s part. It merely gives the licensee the right to use and occupy the premises for a limited duration.
