6. 10% payment due on laying 2nd floor roof slab as per payment plan placed at annexure v in provisional allotment letter :- this demand was due on laying 2nd floor roof slab. This demand was not raised and no progress of the construction was shared by builder.

7. Follow up action by us : - in the absence of any feedback from jaypee greens, we sent an e mail on 29 jan 2015 asking jaypee greens about progress of construction. As per info pack given at the time of booking and provisional allotment letter, possession was to be given within 30 months plus grace period of six months. Accordingly, studio apartment should be delivered by end 2016. When the e mail was not responded back by jaypee greens, we sent an reminder vide e mail dt 10 feb 2015 asking jaypee greens to respond to their mail.
8. Response of jaypee greens : - after vigorous telephonic perusal, jaypee greens responded back on 10 feb 2015 stating that in bs-ii tower 6, walls and columns up to plinth level is in progress and next demand would be raised tentatively within six months. It was also expressed in their response that their endeavour was is also to meet 30 month period or catch up the time period which was left and in case of slippage, they would be paying rs.5/- per sq ft as delay penalty after completion of stipulated time period & grace period.
9. Further follow up :- after their response dt 10 feb 2015, we kept on waiting for next demand to be raised but it did not happen. More so all e mails to the addresses bounced back and no one could be contacted on phone. Ultimately, on 22 june 2016, some one at mob no. [protected] listed on web site of jayppee greens responded and informed us that this project had been scraped and we should put up an application to withdraw their paid up capital amount from their corporate office in sector 128 noida. Accordingly we visited jaypee greens corporate office on 25 june 2016 and handed over their application dt 24 june 2016 to the concerned staff in their customer relationship office and obtained received stamp on the application. We were assured that the decision and time plan to refund the paid up amount of rs.10, 13, 309.74 only would be intimated shortly.

10. Present status :- till date, no response has been received. We have again sent two reminders on 26 august 2016 and 02 sep 2016. These e mails were returned through automatically generated delivery status notification stating that “ delivery to the following recipients failed – [protected]@jailindia.co.in and [protected]@jailindia.co.in.

11. Our plea :- from payment details given above, it t is quite evident that we paid initial booking amount of rs.1, 25, 000/- on[protected] and provisional allotment letter was issued on[protected]. Subsequently within 150 days from issuance of provisional allotment letter, three instalments of rs.3, 81, 739/-, rs.2, 53, 118.52 and rs.2, 53, 452.22 were demanded, thereby extracting total amount of rs.10, 13, 310/- (38% of the cost of the flat) from us even without starting the construction work. All these cheques were collected personally from our residence. When the next demand due on laying second floor slab was not received, we started calling concerned offices of jaypee greens and their channel partner – 360 degrees capital ltd on phones and also sent various e mails and letters but received no response so far. Since status of the project was not shared with us and no response was given to any of the follow up action by us, this clearly indicates that these bookings were done with maleficent & fraudulent intention just for collecting funds for other projects or passing on to politicians. As per provisional allotment letter dt[protected], the possession of flat was to be given within a period of 30 months, which has already expired on 30th may 2016. More so, construction work has not yet commenced in spite of taking 38% payment.
In view of above, it is demanded that the paid up amount of rs.10, 13, 310/- be returned immediately along with 18% interest.
