• Validating pounts before filing case on builder

Dear Sir,

First I will explain the situation:
Our builder didn't advertise for OC and told us that since they have deviations in project so collecting 125000 from us ( 60 owners). There are 120 flats. After one and half year with great pressure from owners they returned our deposit writing by saying as settlement( not mentioned OC deposit).
STP size was not mentioned. But it is half of our requirement. 40-60 owners occupied the project almost 2-1.5 years.Builder didn't handover our deposits like KEB+BWSSB, warranties,other docs because parking lots were not allocated.
There is no equal space between the pillars and we bought after all floors are constructed and builder also didn't mention the size. Sale deed and Agreement says Ample parking space. Owners and Association ppl are not letting the builder to allocate parking lots because we are demanding equal space/according to BBMP rule size , in that argument builder friends were angry and try to attack one of the owners n threatened us.

So here are my questions:

1.Can we fight for OC. If we fight, can we expect compensation in terms of cash or do we loose our deviations i.e extended balconies

2. Can we fight for STP. Can we get compensation in terms of cash or new STP/extend the existing STP

3. Can we fight for Parking allocation as per BBMP(Karnataka) rule or equal space for everyone as we all paid equal amount for parking space.

4. Not letting the builder for parking lot allocation, is it right?.

5.Can we add that point builder threatened us?

What are the points other than below points we can fight?

1. KEB+ BWSSB deposit and handover all other docs n sketchs related to project.

2. Parking allocation.

3.Threatening owners

4. Grievance for delaying handover

Please advise.

Thanks.

Dear Client,

Any deviation from the promised contribution can rightly be contested before Consumer court for relief acc. to agreed construction and compensation. and complain to RERA. All relief are available through consumer court - space, STP , OC , parking, delayed possesion etc.

OC will be provided by rectifying the violation of building by laws, extended balcony one of them.

Sewage Treatment Plant - It is compulsory for larger apartments or larger community buildings to have a sewage treatment plant within the site. Complain to Municipality.

For threatening, file FIR.
