I stumbled upon your site while browsing the net and was impressed with your replies, hence am sending this mail to address a few grievances we are facing with Lodha Dwellers , Dombivali, Mumbai.
- Is the chief promoter bound to hand over all relevant documents including accounts for all amounts paid to him including society formation charges, contract copies with vendors.
- We are a cluster of six buildings having a total of 288 flats and totally the builder has charged us RS. 90 lacs to form our society but in the accounts statement has mentioned only RS. 5000.00
- He handed over flats before OC mentioning fit out by making us sign an affidavit that maintenance starts with immediate effect and has deducted RS. 1500.00 x 288 x 2 years as electricity and water bills on an adhoc basis mentioning no meters were installed.
- Out of 6 buildings 4 buildings maintenance amount paid for 2 years have finished , he handed over society after 15 months and the balance 2 buildings maintenance of 7 months lying with him has been adjusted with the 4 buildings and has given us an of 10.50 lacs debit balance at time of handing over society putting us in a very tight spot as running the society is impossible.
As those members who have receipts for maintenance paid to the builder are refusing to pay to society.
