1. for society formation, the builder will become the chief promoter and the flat buyers will become the promoters. A meeting has to be called for appointment of chief promoter. However in case of a new society, the builder is by default the chief promoter. So let the builder form the society. The flat buyers may be required to sign application forms for being admitted as society members. Request the builder to provide you with a copy of society bye-laws. In most cases the model bye laws of society are adopted
2. if there is leakage or seepage in the flat then the flat buyer can individually invoke the defect liability clause in the sale agreement and require the builder to rectify the defect or the buyer can rectify the defect himself and ask the builder to reimburse the expenses. If the project i.e. your phase 1 is registered with RERA, then you can also file complaint with RERA
3. you need to check the sanctioned building plans to ascertain whether the water treatment plant of phase 2 has been sanctioned to be built on the land forming part of phase 1. The building plans can be obtained from the municipality. Also if the builder has amended the plans without consent of the flat purchasers then that will be illegal. However if at the time of booking of flats and execution and registration of agreement, the builder had made known to the flat buyers that such a water treatment plant will come up, then no consent of flat buyers is needed
4 & 5 - you say that OC was received in Nov 2017. So you need to check whether this project was registered with RERA? Rera came into force from 1.5.17. Now under RERA the builder is allowed to sell car parking. But prior to RERA, under MOFA, the builder could not sell car parks. The car parkings would form part of the common areas which were required to be conveyed to society on handover of management by builder to society. Thus the society would become owner of such car parkings and it is upto the society whether to accept the allotment made by the builder or to do a fresh allotment. If the car parks were sold by the builder under MOFA regime then that is illegal. However post RERA, he could sell the car parks, except open car parkings which come under common areas.
