If 95% of flats are sold than you can apply for proposed society. By make application to sub registrar of Cooperative Housing Society.

 

Later you can ask builder to handover all details of maintenance funds and expenses done till date.

 

Regarding PMC maintenance you can send copy to concern authority or ask concession in tax amount of rest of the members.

 

Yes, you can ask maintenance from builder for rest of unsold flats.

Dear Sir,

No, the said builder is not eligible to claim maintenance before the completion of the total facilities. First he is required to complete everything then he can ask for the maintenance charges. Also, if you want to, then you can file a complaint in the consumer forum for deficiency in services.

A society must be made by you and the builder should hand over the maintenance to you. If he is not send him a legal notice and initiate criminal and civil proceedings against him.

Refuse to pay him MC on such discriminated rate. Any 10 members can form the society, why dependency on him for this.

Unsold flats MC shall be borne by builder and not from the MC contributed by owners. Recoverable.
