The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (Consumer Court) has asked M/S Vaidehi Akash Housing Pvt limited,to pay the expenses of stamp-duty,registration and conveyance for a 1000 sq ft flat located on Veera Desai Road(Andheri West).The builder had not handed over the flat to the buyer even seven years after making the full payment of 22 lakhs.The commission also told the builder to handover the flat within 45 days or else he will have to pay another 5 lakhs as interest. The builder had issued an allotment letter dated March 22,2005 but did not execute the sale agreement for the 22 lakhs paid to him.Despite repeated summons,the company and its directors failed to appear before it.The commission then passed an exparte order against them. Most people are unaware that they can pursue the builder for any problems in the consumer court and that the law is almost always on their side.Problems such as delayed conveyance,delayed society formation etc etc can be pursued in the Consumer Court and does not require a lawyer.Just a plain paper submission is ok.
The Mhada vice-president and CEO, Mr.Satish Gavai announced on tuesday,19th June 2012,that Mhada had cancelled allotments of 39 prime plots which were given to \’prominent personalities\’ and \’trusts\’. In most of the cases these \’prominent personalities and trusts\’ were nothing more than front companies for politicians and their families. The regulation under which they were \’distributed\’ was the Regulation 16 of Mhada act. Most of these \’allotments\’ were under the watch of Vilasrao Deshmukh and Sushil Kumar Shinde (ex-cm\’s of Maharashtra). Most of these plots were reserved for affordable housing or schools and hospitals to charitable trusts. The politicians in control amended the rules to engineer this scam. 68 plots spread over 20 hectares of land were allotted at a negligible rate by a sub-committee of Congress and NCP ministers. Deshmukh sanctioned 52 and Shinde sanctioned 15.All the beneficiaries were politicians, builders, bureaucrats, housing societies and trusts controlled by Congress and NCP ministers. This allotment of public housing plots was stopped in April 2004. 39 cases are still pending. In one such case a 10,000 sq mtr plot in Oshiwara was meant for a hospital but was given to Nargis Dutt Trust. After it was sanctioned the land in 2000,the trust wanted to pay just Rs.1 (one) per year for a 99 year lease !! The allotment was made for Rs.21 crores in 2007 which was subsequently reduced to 11 crores. The best part is that the trust has not yet paid its dues. The Trustee of this trust is none other than Congress MP Priya Dutt. A CAG report of 2009 slammed the deal saying it was engineered to benefit the \’trust\’. Other such plots were allotted to educational bodies controlled by Congress and NCP ministers. Some of them are…
Rahebar Foundation (NCP MLA Nawab Malik\’s wife and sister are trustees)
Raigad Military school (Congress MLA Madhukar Chavan).
Kasegaon education society (Cabinet Minister Jayant Patil).Incidentally ,Malik and Patil were part of the Sub-committee that devised this entire policy and changed the rules, while Chavan was the chairman of Mhada.
The MP Mitra Charitable trust was allotted 6032 sq mtr plot in Goregaon for just Rs.40 lakh to build a school and playground but the trust divided the land into two and subleased it to 2 private firms that went on to construct on the portion meant for the playground of the school. Later it was revealed that the trust earns Rs.2.5 crore as annual rent from just one of the plots subleased to a school. Mhada now intends to seize such plots and create a land bank for affordable housing scheme for the masses. It will also buy land from private owners at Ready reckoner prices. Ready reckoner is the govt valuation of real estate in a particular area. It changes every year. Property taxes are also charged based on this. All such allotted plots will now stand cancelled if the lease deed has not been executed by the trust with Mhada.
The High court of Mumbai warned flat purchasers to verify all documentation and legal papers of real estate projects before putting money in them. They said this while disposing off the petition of the flat purchasers in the infamous \’Green Heritage\’ building in Kharghar. The petitioners wanted the High Court to regularize the illegal constructions. The High Court told the petitioners that the flat buyers should not blindly trust the brochures and catalogues of the builders but verify the legality with the various planning agencies like CIDCO etc. The court said that the safety and greater good of the society cannot be put on stake for a few people. The Green Heritage project is an example of just one case of blatant violations of building norms by the builder with active connivance of the CIDCO officials along with Police and other staff. The Green Heritage scam has been recently issued demolition orders of the top 3 floors. The litigants have a choice of appealing the decision in the Supreme Court.

Area and Price Comparison of CIDCO Shilp Valley with Neighbouring Projects of Private Builders
Its important to point out that private builders are charging between 5500 and 6000 per sq ft on the built up and sometimes even the super built up area !
And what is the difference between carpet and super-built up area ? Sometimes its as much as double the carpet area !!
Builders are known to sell a 700 sq ft carpet area as 1600 sq ft flat !
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT :
CIDCO HAS STARTED DISTRIBUTION OF FORMS FOR THIS PROJECT ON 16 JAN 2014. THIS DISTRIBUTION WILL CONTINUE TILL FEBRUARY 5. FORMS CAN BE COLLECTED FROM THE GROUND FLOOR OF CIDCO OFFICE AT BELAPUR. THE FORMS COST APPROX RS : 550 EACH.
Private builders in the vicinity are selling pigeon-hole sized 2 bhks (measuring 525 sq ft carpet area) for min 70 lakhs and 3 bhks measuring 725 sq ft carpet area for 1 crore 5 lakhs !! …and that too along with black money and other illegal charges like car parking society formation, grill windows, development charges of approx 250 Rs per sq ft etc.
Next Phase of Valley Shilp will be the flats for Lower Income group (1 bhk\’s and 1 Rk\’s). Once these are put up for sale, the real estate market in Kharghar can expect a drastic crash.
If CIDCO actually sticks with a price of 4000 per sq ft on carpet area, the whole real estate scenario in sector 36 will change !!
The application forms will be distributed in September 2012 and the construction has reached the plinth level.The complex will be equipped with state of the art ultra modern amenities.
Key Details of the project
Middle income group – 802 flats – 611 sq ft per flat
High income group – 422 flats – 1072 sq ft per flat
52 offices and 108 shops.
Club house, jogging track, swimming pool
Back up generator
Parking on 1st and ground floor.
Automatic lifts.
This inventory of 1224 flats is sure to add to the selling pressure that the builders are facing in sector 36..since this project has all the ultra modern amenities.
We will be tracking this major development as it happens. Stay tuned.
