- The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission held that a builder has no right to sell covered parking or open parking, both of which are part of common amenities. The commission ruled that only the housing society's general body could make the allotment of space to flat occupiers.
- Further, if the buyer -seller agreement mentions car parking as a separate item, or the buyer can produce other evidence of having purchased it, he can challenge the developer, and can get refund from the builder legally.
- However, after amending the rules of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act in Maharashtra, it is now permitted to builder to sell parking spaces to the flat buyers legally.
- Further, under the new rules, approved parking spaces, both covered and open, can be sold, and also further permitted builders to demarcate such parking spaces sold.
- Hence, now the society cannot refuse the parking dully purchased by you and to give the approval letter
- You can lodge your written complaint with the Managing committee, and also before the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Housing Society.
- Further , you can also file a compliant against the builder for the same before the Consumer forum.
