[Resolved]  Ark Builders — Cheated by Ark Builders in Ark Serene County project

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Guys beware of Ark Serene County project in whitefield Bangalore. Builder is looting customers in following ways:

vat and service tax calculation
He is cheating his customers in a big way here.
VAT and ST are applicable only on construction cost and not on the cost of land, BESCOM, KEB, BWSSB, Bore well and amenities charges. Builder is charging at least 56.5K more for 1165 sq ft flat, considering 1000 /- per sq ft for the land cost. Extra amount charged by builder is as follows:
ST+VAT on land cost = 453*1000*8.09%=36647
ST+VAT on BESCOMM and Bore well charges=125*1165*8.09%=11781
ST+VAT on amenities=100000*8.09%=8090
total=36647+11781+8090=56518

Window frame and mosquito mesh
Builder told us that they will provide Fenesta window frames and mosquito mesh. But in reality its local made and he is not providing mosquito mesh.

Inferior quality tiles
Tiles displayed by builder for lying down in flats are sub standard in quality. He is not giving sufficient choices (only two for flooring and one for kitchen) for tiles. Even small builders have at least 5-6 choices for tiles.

Very less power points in flats
Builder is giving only one power point in guest bedroom. Geyser point is provided only in master bed room bathroom, even though agreement says provision for Geyser in all bathrooms. For each extra power point he is charging 1000/-, which is way high for a under construction building.

Amenities
Builder is collecting 1 Lac towards amenities. In total he is charging 280*1L=2.8 Crore for amenities. When we asked them about size and specification of swimming pool, club house and other amenities they don’t have any answer.


Model flat
He is constructing a model flat from past 11 months and still it is not yet completed.

Every marketing person will give you a different answer for the same query. Marketing team is not at all cooperative, courteous and polite. Once you pay booking amount they will show their true colors. When you ask them questions regarding construction they will redirect you to civil team, civil team will say ask to meet management. Management is not at all approachable. We have tried approaching their GM several times but marketing team is not letting us to meet him; they are not even providing his number.

Whatever I have mentioned are true facts. You can contact any owner of Ark Serene County and verify these facts.

Please think 1000 times before booking a flat with them.
