My apartment got completion two year ago, but my apartment lift contractor/maintenance person have not given license, as well as not shown us any government document.Because, of some dispute between a builder and contractor we are suffering.Finally we switch off the lift. is there any solution for this? can i change the lift contractor? what document do i need to operate lift? How do i get duplicate license? How can i replaced old lift contractor?
1. LIFT license is issued by the "chief electrical inspector" of the district Lift Dept. A duplicate license can be obtained via proper application and payment of fees.
2. Serve a proper Legal Notice to the Lift Vendor and the Builder, for the faulty /illegal lifts, and just simply terminate the Lift Vendor's services and clearing off his dues. A new licensed Lift AMC vendor may be duly appointed with proper agreement.

1. It is not clear which was entrusted with the job of installation, running and maintenance of the lift and whether you have paid money to this body or not.
2. If yes, then it is a fit case when you can file a case before the consumer forum wherein you would get refund of your along with damages and compensation .
3. in such case you will have to apply for license on your own or through another professional body.
If the association is formed then by it or all the members can file a consumer complaint against the builder and the contractor.
Yes all members can change the lift contractor.
A license from the electric inspector is required.
If earlier license is lost then you can get the duplicate license.
You need a licence to operate the same. You need to send a legal notice to the contractor and builder and contractor to resolve the issue otherwise you can change the vendor
1) builder has to obtain lift licence for operation of lift and furnish copy to society formed of flat owners
2) if he has failed to do so file complaint against builder before consumer forum and seek orders to direct builder to obtain licenses for operating lift
3) if society is fornedit can change the lift contractor
4) if no society is formed only builder can change the lift contractor
The lift and other amenities us the responsibility of the builder and he alone is responsible for handing a completed apartment to the residents. File a complaint against the builder in the rera tribunal and also in the state consumer redressal forum.

Send a legal notice to your builder/promoter in the present matter and seek immediate intervention from him, ensuring that the lift is put to working condition immediately.
Approach consumer forum/RERA in the case builder/promoter fails to do the needful despite the legal notice.

Dear Sir,
- You can approach the consumer forum against services issues under given commitment from the Seller to purchaser or by consumer.
- Besides, the RERA tribunal can be approached against builder inefficiency on providing the committed services.
- It is Builder responsibility under BBA (Builder Buyer Agreement) and SLA, to provide all the committed services.

Lift Licence. Electrical Lift Installations in commercial, residential, office complexes, etc., (excluding the lift covered under the Factories Act, 1948) are inspected and licenses are issued / renewed to secure protection to the persons using the lifts and safe working of lifts.
The promoter or the builder is responsible for providing and maintaining essential services on reasonable maintenance charges to be paid by the residents.
You should approach the builder to set right the things with the lift operator since the builder is responsible for this lift contract.
If there is no response from the builder then your association may in a meeting decide about the next course of action in this regard.
