I need genuine windows 8.1 pack, I searched online and found that mostly 8.1 is available in range of 7K-8K on site like FK , SD or amazon. However in one of the local store, he is offering it for 4.2K, he is insisting its sealed windows 8.1 pro box and once opened, can't be returned. Essentially, he is saying that once I purchases it, he has no liability in case it won't works. So, here is a naive question in terms of license of windows that can I verify it from box itself before actually paying.. like calling MS India and giving them number etc printed on box ?
Its sounds fishy to me but at 4.2K, its lucrative unless I finds a better deal elsewhere.
Any suggestions ?
If you can wait then it will be best in a few months time windows 10 will come and ot will be a free upgrade over windows 7,8 and 8.1 even if your current windows is pir***ed.
Buy it for 3.5k

It IS possible for "any" student having an student icard to apply for Dreamspark account. I am doing MCA, and even at this age I have successfully got the dreamspark student account. I use Windows Server edition free of cost. And also use other pro IDE's like Visual Studio and SQL Server.
Though, [MENTION=110244]Nerevarine[/MENTION], dreamspark doesn't include Windows 8.1 Pro license. Or does it? I can only see Server edition of windows. Where do I get Windows 8.1 Pro edition?

^I did not know that.. It seems Windows 8.1 pro licence is available for dreamspark premium registered users, not the normal dreamspark..

Update:
I tried to purchase that cheaper one, had almost paid but clearly it was a forged copy. Still bluntly he was assuring its genuine. I wonder how easily they are duping common people. And because of my previous research online, I got to know its duplicate otherwise was convinced.
can you provide link ? So one of us do not commit the same mistake ..
I purchased from eBay from this guy
However he does not ship retail boxes. He will obtain a retail key from MS and print it on a sheet with the barcode and QR code, burn the ISO on DVD and ship them to you.
My experience with him was good and the key is working 100% genuine.
If you have doubts, you can first try to activate the key and if it gets activated, proceed to authorize payment via PaisaPay.
