Searching Flat near Spine Road, Chinchwad for my Friend's in-laws

Today afternoon, one of my friend came to my house and asked me to accompany him to search for flat.
His father in law has planned to buy a 2 or 3 BHK flat in PCMC in next 1-2 months (ready possession) and asked him to check for details.
He has shortlisted area near spine road from Shivtej Nagar to Indrayani nagar on Spine road, Chinchwad, Pune.
First, we went to Woodsville by Pharande Builders. 3 BHK Ready possession flat with area around 1300 sq. feet (available in next 3 months) was available in Phase I on 12th floor. Rate per Sqft. = Rs. 4400/-.
 Total cost of flat was around 70 Lacs.
We went to one scheme near Spine City, Indrayani nagar and Rate per Sqft was 4551/-.
Rate was around 3700-4000 for Local builders with no major amenities for most of the places where we enquired.
He will again go next Sunday to few more places.  I'll update regarding the same and final decision of his in laws in my followup post.

Opening PPF (Public Provident Fund) account in SBI

As financial year is coming to an end, tax savings options like PPF, ELSS mutual fund, insurance etc are main topics of interest for Salaried person like me.
Few days back, I went to State bank of India bank (SBI), Chinchwad branch to open PPF account. After enquiring, I came to know that you need SBI Savings account in any Branch for opening PPF account.
As I was not having SBI savings account, I completed all formalities to open savings account that day. I was told that I will get SMS when account opening process is complete (within 2-3 days).
I did not get SMS for more than one week so I went to SBI branch. Account was still not activated. They have activated it in front of me.
I collected Pass Book by depositing amount in my Account.

Next, I collected PPF form and came back Home. Today (9th Jan 2013) I am going to complete PPF account opening procedure.

Updating procedure to open account (now after opening PPF account in SBI). It was very smooth process.
