Yes u can

Hello,

Yes you can definitely claim the refund an account of the fact that the entire area has not been disclosed to you and for the fact that you have been cheated.

On the aforementioned grounds only you are advised to give a letter of cancellation to the concerned person.

Regards

In this scenario you have right to cancel this deal on the basis of Exhibition of false information or non Exhibition of material information about the property. According to the rera act, builder is bound to mention only carpet area instead of super built up area. Therefore if only 799 square feet has been mentioned in the advertisement then the court shall presume that the area mentioned in the advertisement is about the carpet area only. You should give him a notice thereafter file the  complaint before the consumer forum, if the project is registered under rera then you should file complaint before the chairman of rera authority.

Dear Sir,

The advertisement did not mention the whether it is carpet area or the built up area but you were given opportunity to inspect same which you did not carry out.

If you can prove that in normal course that is with due care and judgements in said field if inspection is carried out than also area cannot be ascertained than yes you can file a suit and get your refund amount back.

Otherwise in my opinion this will be unfruitful exercise going in court and wasting more money as the principle of Cavet Emptor " let the Buyer Beware " will be applied as the seller has given enough opportunity to ascertain the area and condition.

On the one hand you say that the advertisement did not mention the type of area just the total area, and on the other you insist that the carpet area is less than promised. As you probably know, the carpet area is less than the built-up area and the latter in turn less than super built-up area. You did not mention how much is the built-up area of the property you bid for. Your question does say that you were told that the carpet area was 799 sqft. Who told you so and how was this communicated to you? Please answer these questions so that I—and I believe others here—can better assist you.

Hi,

You are suggested to send a legal notice for rectification of error and if the things are not solved, file the case for the same.

If they have specifically mentioned that it's 799 sq.feet then you are entitled to recover the deposit paid by you on the ground of concealing true facts by auctioneer.

First of all send them legal notice seeking for repayment if they do not oblige file a suit for recovery of money in jurisdiction court and declare that the sale transactions are void.

Yes, you can get it cancelled as the material important facts were not disclosed by them.

Since the advertisement mentions area as 799 sqft. you have reason to believe that it is the genuine area.

You can do the following:

1. Issue legal notice to the Bank;

2. State that you have been deceived by the false area measurements on the advertisement;

3. Get the real outlay of the property which shows it is 650 Sq.Ft.;

4. Say that fraud has been committed on you;

First of all ascertain that whether the seller concealed the fat about the extent of carpet area.

If you had mistaken the fact then you may not be able to claim refund on that ground since it is your mistake to not verify before depositing the EMD.

You can quote some other reason for cancelling the auction bidden in your favor.

You may get refund after some statutory deductions.

If anywhere they have claimed you the wrong facts you can seek refund on that basis.

1. Thanx for your feedback sir.

2. What I was trying to explain you was that once you take inspection of the property which is being sold in auction and pay the EMD, it is deemed that you have satisfied yourself as to the correctness of the details given in the newspaper notice.

3. Check whether the public notice states that the property is being sold to you on as is where is basis?

4. In your case you say that you did not take inspection and also paid the EMD. So the auctioneer will presume that you are satisfied with the property.

5. If you now cancel then they will obviously deduct some money from your EMD or forfeit the entire amount as informed in public notice.

6. You can bring the discrepancy in area to their notice and contend that the auction sale is vitiated or not proper and demand to pass over the property to next highest bidder since you will be unable to buy the flat as area details are not correct.

7. If they agree then well and good. If they don't then you will have to take legal steps.

whenever the secured creditor contemplates a sale of immovable property, they will have to follow Rule 8 of the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002. Rule 8(6)(f) mandates the secured creditors to set out in the terms of sale notice any other thing which the authorised officer considers it material for a purchaser to know in order to judge the nature and value of the property

2) if the area of property is mentioned as 799 square feet you would be refund of money paid by you if area of property is less than &99 square feet

3) file writ petition in HC to direct bank to refund your money with interest

1. I will need to check the public notice cutting for a better advise

2. You should write to them about the discrepancy and call upon them to reply within the notice period stated in the letter. Better you get issued a legal notice drafted by a lawyer

3. If they don't reply within the notice period then you will have to file a Writ Petition in High Court

4. Ideally all due diligence like ascertaining the carpet area and taxes due should have been checked by you before depositing the EMD

5. The carpet area details can be obtained from sub registrar office

6. Similarly the tax dues details could be obtained from the tax authorities

7. You should never rely on something which is told to you orally without any written confirmation

8. Since you already paid the EMD it will be deemed that you exercised all due diligence and satisfied yourself about the correctness of the property details

9. Have u deposited the EMD under your covering letter? In that letter you could have said that the EMD is being paid subject to pending details from bank. You could have made a qualified or conditional offer

Was this a public document—the one that mentioned the carpet area? As for the taxes, they are calculated at pre-notified rates and things that have to be factored in—for instance the sale price—are prescribed statutorily. They aren’t something you cannot possibly not know or calculate beforehand. I think it would be salutary if you showed the releavant documents either here or locally so they could tell you what sort of a case you have. But feel free to ask further questions aside from answering my question at the beginning. Happy to help!
