Magarpatta City Complaints & Reviews

The security office of the township would mandate each of the tenants (holder of legal rent agreement) to avail citizen card that costs Rs. 150 and additionally pay a deposit of Rs. 1000 that is refundable. The deposit payment receipt states that the refund of deposit should be collected by tenant in a months time from expiry of the citizen card by presenting the receipt of deposit payment .

I have been residing in Magarpatta...

There has been an increase in nuisance of dog attacking bike riders and people going for walk at Aditi Gardens. I have been attacked by dogs twice this month near Annexe Society while I was returning back from a walk at night when 3 dogs gathered around me started barking incessantly. Similar thing happened a month back. I have seen this dogs chasing bike riders at Aditi Gardens as well. There are a lot of speed breakers which are risky for...

Since yesterday i. E 9th march i have been hearing huge machinery noises from morning till night. May be they shifted their chimney or something i don't know. But noise of machinery is very disturbing and affecting our normal routines and sleep. My wife is a housewife she is not able to get good sleep and at peace because of this...

I don't understand why do i have to pay for magarpatta city card. This should not be mandatory. I believe the reason behind having an id card is to show proof that you are part of magarpatta society. I am a resident of magarpatta city as well. I am a woman and i stay as a tenant there.
And i don't have the id card. The guards at my society gate always ask me about the card and i have shown them ample proof in the past and...

I was moving out of magarpatta on the 1st feb 2019.. My resident card had expired on sept 19th 2018.
I had a genuine reason for not renewing the card, due to the nature of my work i wasn't in pune until january 26th 2019.

I went to admin office with all the documents they asked for.
1. Receipt of 1000/- deposit payment for the card.
2. Letter from company as to why i was not in pune.
3. Written application asking for deposit refund.

They said they will refund it in 2 to 3 days.
I have been following up since then and they havent yet refunded my 1000/- amount. Each time i go there or call them they give some stupid excuse.. Officer on leave.. Officer hasnt come etc etc..
Those 2 -3 days is becoming a month now.

I have lost all hope of getting any refund from these people.

Anyone has any other idea or means of getting my money back.. Plz suggest.

The parking fee collectors at destination center in magarpatta city are assh*les literally. Firstly, they dont provide receipts of parking and as per rules the vehicle is allowed to be parked in the premises for 2 hours. I returned in 10 minutes to collect my parcel and he asks for the parking fees again. I explained it to him that i already payed him the fees and he didnt provide me the challan. He raises his voice and starts abusing me. I mean wtf!!
If i weren't in my office working hours, bc i would for surely reply to your abuses on ur face with words and hands.
This unethical behavior of staff in dc parking is not accepted. They rule as if they are doing us a favor.
Kindly escalate this to a higher level and make sure this doesnt happen again.

Magarpatta – A story of lucky, influential Sugarcane farmers who pooled, waited and grabbed business opportunity at the right time thus becoming rich from rags

Magarpatta, they claim it is “pride of Pune”, classify it as a “city”, the “first” integrated township in India. They call it a unique business Model where 120 farmers pooled in their land to come up with a new ideology, or rather put it correctly, a business model, encashing the urban growth of Pune and striking the right chord at the right time during the IT and Real Estate Boom. A little-known secret is the fact that the influential Magar’s, the main farmer Satish is a relative of veteran politician Annasaheb Magar and the Magar clan is close to Shri Shri Sharad Pawar and NCP without whose blessing, their so called ideological dream would not have materialised. Luckily, the business has flourished and has yielded windfall gains, suddenly the fortunes of the once sugarcane farmers has drastically changed. The Magar’s have become millionaires now and consider themselves no less than Lords. With almost 100% occupancy in both office space and residential space, with soaring real estate prices, Magar’s fortune has turned gold. Like Kapil Sharma, they are unable to digest and react to their stardom and react crazily. Magar’s dictate their own terms and they have their own law of the land within the perimeter of 360 Acers of their Kingdom.
No Doubt, what Magar’s have produced is a world class infrastructure, an integrated lush green, sparkling clean township, they have kept very orthodox and rigid terms for their users both office space and residential buyers.
 The security Dept. is controlled and governed by Magar’s and some of the loyal Security guards have been empowered so much that they can even invade China and free the DoKolam plateau!!! Moral policing of bachelors, women’s, maid servants, students with respect to ID, Access, entry and exit is a common scene daily. Magar’s security norms are inspired by Hollywood flick Mission impossible!!! You will constantly have a feeling that you are residing in a residential colony of a Nuclear submarine manufacturer. Poor security guards, most of them are hired from 3rd Party security agencies get a partly salary of 7-8 k PM and an amount of Rs 780 is deducted and kept with their employers which they claim is PF, which is never the fact. That acts as a caution money. Mind you, the guards work on 12 Hours shift x 7 days x 365 days. So be sensitive to them at least no matter even if they act according to the whims and fancies of Magar’s.
 One has to pay Rs 350 to get an Access card for a period of 11 months with a deposit of Rs 1000 !!! Mind you it is year after year and not one time. Even the poor maid servants who wish to work in household of the “Pride of Pune” have to obtain Access card by paying fees and they are subject to strict scrutiny everyday. The Cab drivers who wish to do business with top IT companies within the premises are supposed to register by paying 1000 and must also pay fees for getting Access card and sticker.
 To install your own DTH, you need to take permission of PMS and pay a deposit of Rs. 1000 Wow. However, if you go for DTH empanelled by Magar’s its going to be easy but expensive.
 The PMS (Property Management system) is an amazing office and Magar’s have been able to employ the most dedicated and trustful woman employees who eat, speak, breath and talk in Magar’s language. You will never feel you are talking to employees but the Magar’s themselves. Everything is computerised and tax paid bills, estimates etc are taken upfront. The women employees in dress code, are strict, rarely smile, talk business and are tactful.
 Now for the buyers who have brought properties, they own only the carpet area within their main door and rest all space is controlled and managed exclusively by the Magar’s. Your ownership and slice of “Pride of Pune” is limited within your own apartment only. Once you step out of your door, you enter Magar owned dynasty.
 As if the crores worth of income what Magars are earning was not enough, they have outsourced Parking to vendors and make handsome money in Parking space as well. Not even a single inch of Magar’s land is free, even the Aditi Garden is open only for Citizens and any outsider who would wish to feel the “pride of Pune” is not allowed. If you dare, then your vehicle will be towed away and a penalty will be imposed which will be purely at the discretion of the Magar’s.
 The newspaper vendor too has a unique Model to offer. He charges Rs. 300 as caution money and does not maintain any records. Since there is only 1 vendor authorised by Magar’s after charging fees from him, you have no choice.
 The housekeeping staff too works on Supreme court directives of 2000 and can direct you to have the garbage segregated into wet and Dry and also to put it much before 11.00 AM.
 And yes within the 360 Acers township you do have one way roads as well, Amazing, isn’t it ?
 The Destination Centre, which they brand it as a “Cool Place” is also 100% occupied and every vendor here has achieved their ROI and customer is never the king in these shops. Don’t argue, if you are interested, please buy or go away. No one questions the exuberant charges. That’s not the culture here. If you wanna bargain, go to Hadapsar Mandi nearby.
 Magars do have a school of their own by name Vidya Patishthan affiliated to BARAMATI 😊 where they prefer admission only to the residents who have brought properties in their township, the administration too is closely monitored by Magar’s. The School principal is a dictator here and the teachers must fear and respect him.
 Magar’s tried their hands on running a Management school, but Alas, a Business school initiated by Farmers did not run and the idea flopped, I believe this is the only failure they had. But Magars are way too smart to convert the adversities into opportunities as they rented the premises to VIBGYOR High and got back their ROI.
 There are over 60 Pre Schools mushrooming inside the townships, in 2014 Magars suddenly realised that this is an area where people are making profits and they are not getting anything out of it, in a helter skelter, Satish, who owns a big influence on media, published a paid article in Times of India on illegal schools in residential premises !!! This he brought down over 60 vendors on their knees for not caring the interests of Magar’s. Wow. Subsequently, legal notices were served to each of the schools, and, as I am given to understand, that the matter was resolved after a royalty was promised back to Magar’s. That’s business Acumen 😊.
 Now Magar’s are so influential, that an incident of alike to Nirbhaya happened in their own Jasmanium where a female cook was Rxxxx and Mxxxxxxx by a gang of 5 to 7 residents, but the news was put under the wraps with such a precision and no media or TV published it as otherwise it would have dented the “Pride of Pune”.
 Even Gods needs to follow the Magar’s protocol as during the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav, only residents holding ID cards are allowed. At the Mahalakshmi temple next to Cosmos, you have to highly disciplined bhakt otherwise you get lecture from Poojari Baba. Festivals like Holi and Diwali must be celebrated outside the societies, if you dare inside, the guards will teach you a lesson.
 Like Magars, many real estate agents have become millionaires, thanks to the “Pride of Pune”, the DC has maximum number of Real estate agents who manage office space, residential and PG so meticulously that their dashboard, would put and IITan to shame.
 The Magars get huge royalty on a regular basis on the resale of flats, which reflects with the fact that each of the 120 Magars owns branded top notch cars, bikes more than one in number which can be seen parked in various societies, some farmers even maintain tractors inside the societies 😊.
 The Magar’s own mall, the Seasons too is one of the most expensive malls and Magar’s leave no stones unturned to compete with Ammanora Mall, just opposite of the road. Often Magars invite Bollywood celebrities and big Ad’s are given in media.
 Come elections, and you will receive pamphlets delivered at your doorsteps appealing to vote for Tupe’s (NCP) as both Satish Dada and Nilesh Dada openly support NCP as it was Sharad Rao ji who approved their project when he was the CM of Maharashtra. Nilesh Dada is the blue eyed right hand to Satish Dada. Its no joke or exaggeration as Nilesh Dada actually have bight and Blue shiny eyes 😊
 The “Pride of Pune” is so fascinating that various films and advertisements have been shot here which include the big names in Bollywood including superstar Rajnikanth. Jokes do a round that Magarpatta gained popularity only because Rajnikanth liked this place !!!
 Now Magars are coming up with Five star hotel of their own, building neighbourhood by name Annex and replicating the Magarpatta story by means of Nanded City on Sinhgad road. Way to go lucky Sugarcane farmers, you indeed have given a great business model to the world.
 Inspired? and wish to move to “the pride of pune” ?? Please be aware that there is no provision of service lifts and your luggage is not allowed in the passenger lifts.
All the very best !!!

Security head of magarpatta behaviour ruins all the positive things.
I am tenant of magarpatta since 4 years.
I was bringing my fiance to my society garden to make her see my beautiful society garden.
But he security head of magarpatta didn't allow me to take her to my society gate.
He randomly visit any society in magarpatta and misbehave with everyone, specially girls.
He along with other security guards...

I am a tenant of Zinnia H society and it has been a real torture to face a senior security guard, who is always frustrated and angry. always trying to make new rules and stop me and my guests for questioning.

i tried very politely to make up with him many time as its just this 1 guys but he is just unbearably rude and aggressive, I request urgent action against him to protect the peace of society....

I am just tired of nonsense rules of Magarpatta city! First and foormost I would like to complaint on false practice of mandatorily having Magarpatta city CARD. Imagine this applied to all cities of India. You will have hadasar city CARD, Thane city CARD, Yerwada city CARD.

I think this issue needs to be taken with Indian government that inspite of having Adhaar and Pan card these guys ask for Magarpatta city CARD!!!...

Well i am living here since last 4 years but had seen very bad experience of security personals and if you complain about it no-one will listen you. you might be misbehaved, abused or beaten as well. just one reason to stay here my office is near, can't handle traffic issue outside and no lagging of transport problem in pune. now decided to stay near by society just 5 minutes walk, and rent is almost 30 % less....

I am not sure but how magarpatta city allowed people to smoke at a bus stop. Moreover, its on footpath and people has to suffer a lot because of this . I donot think sophisticated employees (who smoke) have some civic sense. Can I request Magarpatta city officials to take action against this smoking at public place. I have already complained about at security office but sems they are least interested in solving resident's problems

I stay at Annexe building of Magarpatta so called Posh area of Pune city . Guests are not allowed after 10 pm even if you have some urgent work even you provide there identity for entry and take their responsibility. **you feel like a Jail over there **
So many incidents happened with me and with my friends as shared below
1) I had a dinner party organized in my flat , I informed the security and neighbors too that too even though security guards are bugging us in every hour by sating not to make noise. we were not playing any loud music at all . The most embarrassing thing was when he called a security head at around 12 midnight and he asked me to empty the my flat and guest who don't have Annexe card .. That was obvious that they don't have because they were my guests and when i asked him to show me the notice or complaints he just called a police and took bribe from us .
2) I had a flight at 3 am in the night my fiance came to pick me up from flat . They didn't allowed to enter him the premises although he had a card of cosmos that is in Magarpatta only . The reason was so funny , he said he got a order from his head that "were girls live boys are not allowed" .
I told him he is not coming to my flat just coming to pick me up . I asked him to talk to my owner or my parents he denied. When security head arrived when my fiance requested to him , he told me "Ja jana hai toh police station main complain kar de ". I got to know that this rule is made by them without any formal printed notice. They says Police only told them not to allow boys in girls flat or girls in boys flat after 10 pm although he may be your brother .In our the Constitution of India contains the right to freedom, given[19] in articles 19, 20, 21 and 22, with the view of guaranteeing individual rights that were considered vital by the framers of the constitution . Who are they do make rules ??


Our reference the what our Indian constitution says :
The right to freedom in Article 19 guarantees the following six freedoms:[20]

Freedom of speech and expression, which enable an individual to participate in public activities. The phrase, "freedom of press" has not been used in Article 19, but freedom of expression includes freedom of press. Reasonable restrictions can be imposed in the interest of public order, security of State, decency or morality.

Freedom to assemble peacefully without arms, on which the State can impose reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order and the sovereignty and integrity of India.

Freedom to form associations or unions on which the State can impose reasonable restrictions on this freedom in the interest of public order, morality and the sovereignty and integrity of India.

Freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India though reasonable restrictions can be imposed on this right in the interest of the general public, for example, restrictions may be imposed on movement and travelling, so as to control epidemics.

Freedom to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India which is also subject to reasonable restrictions by the State in the interest of the general public or for the protection of the scheduled tribes because certain safeguards as are envisaged here seem to be justified to protect indigenous and tribal peoples from exploitation and coercion.[21] Article 370 restricts citizens from other Indian states and Kashmiri women who marry men from other states from purchasing land or property in Jammu & Kashmir.[22]

Freedom to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business on which the State may impose reasonable restrictions in the interest of the general public. Thus, there is no right to carry on a business which is dangerous or immoral. Also, professional or technical qualifications may be prescribed for practising any profession or carrying on any trade.

The constitution also imposes restrictions on these rights. The government restricts these freedoms in the interest of the independence, sovereignty and integrity of India. In the interest of morality and public order, the government can also impose restrictions. However, the right to life and personal liberty cannot be suspended. The six freedoms are also automatically suspended or have restrictions imposed on them during a state of emergency.

i am working in an MNC in magarapatta city, hadapsar pune. This city itself have many apartment societies and as police verification is a must to stay here we need to get the approval of the police on a form. These guys 3 years back used to charge around 50 per form and now they are charging 250 odd rupees per person. As we all know bribe is a undetachable aid to police, thier exploitation is increasing a lot. moreover whenever we need to...

The parking charges levied by Magarpatta City are heavy, i.e. Rs. 5 for two wheeler & Rs. 10 for 4 wheeler. And the shocking thing is the parking ticket taken at the SEZ area is not accepted in the commercial complex (Destination Center) area. You have to pay Rs. 5 again & take another ticket if you want to part your two wheeler for even 5 minutes only.

The shocking event took place on 29 Jan 2011. One of my friends drove to Parking of Tower-3 in Cybercity with his Bike. Where though he had Company ID and Parking Badge properly visible security guards stopped him from entering into the Parking as he didnot have cybercity sticker on his bike. The Guards did not behave properly so he called their supervisor called RAMESH Updadhay ( Supervisor CBRE) who responded even more rudely saying - " He is not wife of 45000 employee working here ; go and talk to your company". This irritated My friend who went into argument with him and drove off with saying "Go to hell".

Then he parked in general Parking in front of Tower 3 and walked to his company AVAYA. The security guard from the parking Gate Rushed to him and grab him by collar and said " Tu sale hamare Ramesh sir se aise bolta hai" . My friend was completely taken by surprised, he never expected this. Suddenly some more Security guys rounded him and Ramesh was seen approaching /shouting all kinds of Indian Abuses ; as soon as he reached my Friend , he slapped him and punch him on the face, soon security guards started to thrash and abuse my Friend. My Friend took out his mobile to make a call but security Guards held his hand forcefully. This went on for about 10 mins.

Luckily another AVAYA employee was just coming to office that time, he noticed that something was going wrong. He approached my friend and asked him what's going on - "They are beating me up" he said in despair.

Soon about 30 AVAYA employees came down to save their colleague then only these Guards disappeared from the scene. Then they called Ramesh to come up and discuss the matter. Instead of that few mins later 2 Goons showed, as soon as they came they started saying “Who dared to call us ..”. They without any provocation started abusing AVAYA employees which lead to a bitter verbal argument as Avaya employee were getting agitated by these goons who were in official CBRE dress.
The Arguments heated further but Magarpatta security officer who came there only tried to disperse Avaya crowd instead stopping the Guys to misbehave. The Situation became tense and tense untill it reached close to manual fighting and then only Magarpatta security officer begged the goons to get in a Security Car and taken him off.

The incident has been reported to Hadapsar Police station as well as Avaya has logged a Formal Complaint with Satish Magar.

Still there is no action from Magarpatta, the RAMESH is still sitting in the CBRE office , the Security Guards still can be seen at the gate of Tower 1 and Tower 3. And the Goons are still visible in the standard CBRE dress within the Cybercity.

On 1st Dec’10 my friends and I had a torturing and humiliating experience with Magarpatta Security force who are supposed to comfort local residents. I am writing this with a great disappointment as I used to believe magarpatta city as one of the nicest thing has happened to India and used to trust on its administration. But my friends’ and mine faith was shattered on the evening of that day.
My friends and I were jogging in Gravillia...
