An employee of the company send us a broacher in which TOWER O was displayed in layout plan, at the time offer builder has promised that excavation work of TOWER O has already started in within 3/4 months it will come up to level of three /four stories. After receiving the money the attitude of builder changed and he didnot provide any promotional material and neither the work of TOWER O ever started , because of which we could sell any flat, after lapse of six months when we demanded our money back he shamelessly said you have to retrieve your money back by selling the flats, till date TOWER O has not been constructed, and in the layout plan available on the website of the company NO O BLOCK DISPLAYED. on some research on RERA website it appears that in 2021 the builder has revised the plan and excluded TOWER O if any from the project without
