Hello, I have booked 2 flats with a developer and have told the developer that I will be applying for loan to SBI only as I believe they have the best verification process. Now SBI has rejected the loan application saying below concerns 1) Couple of original linked deeds not available, they are producing certified copies. 2) Conversion of total land area to bastu is not present. A discrepancy on 3 decimal of land. 3) Sale and purchase of undivided piece of land spotted. Now the developer is saying they will deduct 10% of the invested amount and then only return the money. And also pressurizing me to take loan from other banks. But I don't believe other banks approval and verification process and want my money back as I feel the property is not clean. Any suggestions and help is welcome. Many Thanks, Sourav Ghatak email : [deleted]
You are entitled to full refund as title of builder is not clear and marketable
2) builder cannot deduct 10 per cent of booking amount
if he fails to refund complain against builder before RERA and seek orders to direct builder to refund your money with interest
You must move the consumer Court against the developer
1. See issue a legal notice to developer to refund the complete amount or provide the original linked documents and conversion discrepancy and other related information. In case the developer fails to do any of this thing file a complaint before the RERA authority.
Ghatak Sir, now don't go verbal further, immediately send him a legal notice for refund of money as he is unable to give you the booked flats on the grounds of the bank's letter which is in your possession so the question of deduction of 10% amount be diluted or deleted, if he do not refund the money and opine otherwise then immediately file a case of deficiency in service before the Consumer Court with refund of money.
Since you are not cancelling this deal due to any fault of your, but it is only because the title documents of the builder are incomplete(as observed by SBI), you are forced to pull out of this project, builder cannot forfeit even 1% from your booking amount.
Send him a legal notice claiming full refund of your booking amount, without any forfeiture.
Approach RERA in case he fails to do the needful.
You have not disclosed the terms and conditions which you have signed at the time of booking of the flat but even then for recovery of your booking amount you have to send a legal demand notice to the builder through advocate and if builder did not pay the amount with in stipulated days as mentioned in your notice, you have to file a suit for recovery against the builder. You can also approach to consumer court but it will be finally decide which forum is best for you only after reading terms and conditions of your agreement.
If rera is applicable to you file complaint to rera for refund of money against builder
You can refuse the offer of the builder stating that it is his duty to produce the documents as required by bank to sanction housing loan, since he failed to produce the same, it is his fault and not yours to cancel the booking hence he cannot deduct even a singly penny from the booking amount and demand him to return the entire amount without any deduction.
If he fails to respond or do not comply with the demand made, you may file case before consumer forum for releif and remedy including compensation for the mental agony you suffered in this regard.
Dear Sir,
Following examples make you clear.
Cancelling an apartment booking?
Saurabh from Bangalore booked an apartment in January 2014 after taking a home loan from a well known bank. However, now he wants to cancel the booking and is ready to bear the necessary monetary loss. He wrote to Magicbricks.com enquiring about his available options while cancelling the booking?
Buyers like Saurabh, who due to various reasons, are forced to cancel their booked property. However, the path to booking cancellation is unfamiliar to many.
Sometime issues such as delayed project and exuberant cancellation fees being charged by builders are faced by such buyers.
Following are some circumstances that buyers can identify and their solutions with while cancelling their booking.
Asha Nayar Basu, partner, S Jalan & Co, a legal firm in response to Saurabh's query says, "Carefully go through the sale/ allotment agreement on the clause pertaining to cancellation of the booking. It will be as per the agreement. Some ag ..
There are others who did not sign any agreement or did not have a clause of cancellation of the agreement. Take for instance Dharmesh, who entered into an agreement for an under construction flat. His agreement had no provision for cancellation. In such cases Basu advices, "In case there is no clause for termination or cancellation, you can cancel the same on certain grounds of impossibility to perform the same, which can be made out from the agreement. However, if the agreement is cancelled on ..
Hello All, Thank you for your valuable suggestions. However I have few questions and would appreciate your inputs on the below points 1) The property is not registered under RERA or HIRA as they claimed they started sometime back when it was not required. In this case, where should I lodge my case ? 2) Is there any time stipulation to lodge the complaint ? As I have sent them email reminder once after sending them email that I want my Money back, but haven't received any response. 3) The agreement says " Cancellation by Purchaser : The Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this agreement at any time and if the Purchaser does so, the Developer shall refund to the Purchaser all payments received till date, without any interest, after deducting 10% of the investment amount including cost of cancellation of registration of this agreement". Does this mean Developer gets the right to deduct 10% of the property value ? I have paid 10% of the property value before signing the agreement. The agreement also says " Documentation for Loan : The Developer shall provide to the Purchaser all available documents for the Purchaser availing loan from Banks and Financial Institutions to finance the purchase of the said property and appurtenances. Please guide me on how to proceed on this. Many Thanks, Sourav Ghatak Phone : [deleted] email : [deleted]
