Bptp ltd having h. O.in delhi is making demand of vat from flat owners, for flats booked many years back in projects in faridabad and handed over to customers in year 2013. The reason for collection for vat is not that any demand for vat deposit has come from competent authority and even it is not stated that vat collected will be deposited by bptp ltd of its own with the competent authority. The reason given for vat collection is that the company expects the demand for vat from competent authority and is thus collecting amounts of vat from flat owners to keep the said amount as reserve.in the flat buyer agreement and conveyance deed it is clearly mentioned that, if any further demand for any charges, tax etc is raised against the company, it can ask the flat owners for said amounts to be paid to bptp ltd. However steps taken by bptp ltd in collecting govt taxes, without there being any demand for same by competent authority of govt. Of haryana is not legal and thus company needs to be directed to refund the amounts collected for vat etc to its customers, if there is no demand for same from competent authority and company should be prevented further in not asking for any additional amounts from its customer for taxes etc, without there being any demand by govt of haryana /competent authority.
