If at all you are purchasing a new property and intend to negotiate with the builder then you must know that a builder is not authorized to sell car parking spaces as individual real estate units.
The allotment is done after (SC Judgment) however before formation of society so the allotment made by the builder is Legal?
The supreme court guidelines in this regard is very clear.
The parking space cannot be sold hence the builder cannot charge you for allotment of the same.
According to the “Apartment Act” in most states, car parking is a part of the society’s common areas.
Since the purchase of parking slots has been deemed illegal, the transaction to purchase would become null and void.
Once the housing society is registered, it becomes the owner of all the common spaces of the apartment complex including the parking spots
When it comes to charges levied for parking spots, the law states “Under Section 84 of the MOFA Act, Every member who has allotted the stilt or the parking space shall be required to pay the parking charges at such rate as may be decided by the General body of the Society at its meeting, irrespective of the fact whether he actually parks his motor vehicle or not.
The Society can recover different rates for different types of vehicles..
