But the project is stand still from last two years and not even a single brick is fixed since than. We as joint has taken up the issue with state CM. local DM also but there is no improvement. Every time the builder is visiting the site and giving another committement that work will be started and will finish by this time and no work is started. I am a sallary class person and payning my 50% of sallary for the loan installment and also paying huge rent and no compensation is given from builder. Please look into the issue which is affecting my kitcehen expenses now and my kids study is also getting affected.

Hi Kajal,

Delays have been inevitable in the real estate sector in India from past few years. There have been many factors causing the same including recession and market up-downs. But I am sure Unitech is a safe bet as it is India's second best real estate developer and a very reputed company. I am sure whatever setbacks they must have been facing, they will deliver your apartment soon. So i would suggest you to be calm and take the matter a bit more patiently.

hi kajal,
i am too planning to buy an apartment in uniworld, kolkata. need your wise comments on it.is it worth to buy there with a price of 4200/sq feet and can it be easily sold to others in future time in case i will move to other location out of kolkata?

Hi, All,

I booked a flat in Unitech Fresco (Kolkata) in Feb 2012 and now Unitech is asking payment for completion of 4th floor casting of Fresco Tower 6 in Kolkata. Last few payments they asked in quick intervals (app 2 month). I wonder whether every buyer has same experience. Unitech's official website doesn't even show the photos of the construction for which they ask payment. I am a buyer from oversees and unfortunately I couldn't send anyone to their construction site to verify construction status.

Somehow pace of this progress doesn't match with their schedule with earlier towers, most of which were delayed and Unitech aid customers penalty for late possession.

If the pace of Fresco continues in this way, they will be completing much before schedule handover Dec, 2014.

Is it their policy that they try to complete initial phases faster so that they can get substantial portion of the payments as early as possible.

Unitech buyers' experience will be helpful.

Unitech Fresco buyers please join google group " Unitech Fresco Kolkata".

I have a similar experience with Unitech. I booked with 95% in 2008 DEC with a promise to get in 2011. And all I see is photos which remained same for quite long and I have doubts when this will be actually done.
People talk about they are second largest, but we have seen how the brand is associated with 3G scandals. I have no place to stay in Kolkata - infact no assurance either when I will get this.

All my hard earned money looks to be at risk and it is no more a safe bet.

Can anyone guide me on how we can get help from consumer court on this?

Dear fellow NRIs - we all are on the same boat.
I booked a flat in Cascade in 2006 with a promise of handover in 2010. Whenver I send an email, I get a revised comiitments with a deferment by another quarter. Lat year they said handover will take place in Apr 2013, yesterday I got another mail ( of course after my follow up) that it's now deferred till end of 2014 barring unforseen circumstances. I see Unitech group is investing in new projects in Kolkata and other cities, hence lack of funds is not an issue. I guess they want to keep our projects in complete since we are already 'locked in' with them and can't step out. This is nothing but a rfelection of a poor attitude to their existing customers Is there anyway to build pressure on the builder here please...

Hello,
In a recent update from Unitech on cascades (post my phone calls), I was informed that tower no 9 in which I have booked a flat will not be handed over before the 1st quarter 2015, while tower no 2 n 3 are handed out. Unitech informed the possession of Heights, Down Town, Cascades has also started in a phased manner. The basic amenities pertaining to road, water, electricity, sewerage, security, housekeeping, pest control, power back up, elevator service, Retail stores etc are all operational. There are residents residing at Uniworld City & we have provided amenities viz., pool table, carom, chess, family lounge (with TV room), Multi court with Tennis, badminton, basketball & volley ball, skating rink, Swimming Pool, Club House with Banquet facility, Gym, Spa, Pool Car service etc. Pls visit the website for construction photographs. --- this is from UNITECH

If things are happening and funds are not an issue then why is there a further delay of another 24 months! After paying 95% in 2007 I fail to understand Unitechs consumer commitment. They on papers had commited to deliver by Mar 2010.

We need to step up together to handle this situation

NRI-

I am planning to buy a flat in UNITECH FRESCO in June 2013 in tower 8
Please advise since I live abroad and have no time to visit the property whether this is good option because the reviews are not good.

I have booked in UNITECH Cascade in 2007. recently visited their site. Facility is kind of coming up. But it is going to be delayed, posession will start in 2015 for cascade. Any legal action can be taken against them? My name is Debraj (contact [protected], UK)

Any legal action can be taken against Unitech for their false promises?

Unitech project in kolkata has been mired with controversies ranging from false promises to low quality materials and horrific finishing.

I am eyeing for a unit in Fresco. I heard that T1 - T4 is six months delayed which falls in line with the Unitech game plan of taking 80% of the money and then delay the progress to utilize the fund elsewhere. T5-T6 is still on track since they haven't reach that 80% cut yet. While for T7 1 floor roof casting is going on.

Cascade / Harmony has been the worst hit project and I really feel bad for these extremely unfortunate cases of buyers waiting for 3+ years upto 5-6 years to get what they are entitled to get much much earlier. Vista was the fastest project owing to the price range it was offerred for.

I really hope Fresco will not go in the same direction as Cascade since the apartments are very costly compared to other options available in the area. Having said that, notwithstanding with the builder credibility the area should see good progress in the coming years in the span of 5-10 years. I know this for a fact that, the AA-1 till the Techno India Newtown building has seen spurt of activities as in shopping malls / banks owing to IT growth. Also, given the pace at which the whole Uniworld project is moving I don't see Uniworld getting completed before another 10 years passes by.

Area after that including Uniworld is not well developed at this stage and will take some more time. I think the most important question to ask yourself before you book an apartment in this project should be:

- Are you ok with the fact that the project might get delayed much beyond what you expected? If yes, go for it else look for cheaper / ready to buy apartments in the same / other projects.

- Are you buying this as an investment option or living option. If investment option then you have to think really long term as in 5-10 years. If living consider this even if there are ~300 families living in the complex the area still lack basic amenities.

The way I see it this kind of big ticket investment should not be based on builder reputation or any other cosmetic factors and must be driven by fundamentals and fundamentals only e.g. your cash flow / your personal situation / future plan / the growth prospects of the area.

hope this helps,
- c

I have also paid 95pct of money for my unitech cascade, 9th tower flat, but looks like it is going to be delayed by another 5 to 8 years .I suggest that all cascade flat owner to get together and then pressurise unitech.

I agree with you. I have made 95% payment in 2008 for tower 8, cascade. We should all get together and demand an explanation and firm date from the developer. What is the way forward.

I found this while searching internet . The national consumer court has given this judgement . I am willing to join a consumer group contemplating legal action against Unitech .

Saturday, July 20, 2013

Another recent court order against Unitech to pay additional penalty on delay
In a judgement delivered by the National Consumer Commission on May 29, 2013, penalty was levied on Unitech for delay so far in delivering Harmony project. Penalty goes up if project not delivered within 6 months of judgement.

Case CC/314/2012 in the National Consumer Court.

Read full text of court ruling at http://164.100.72.12/ncdrcrep/judgement/[protected]CC3442012.htm

It is a slap on face o[censored]nitech from the highest consumer court of the country. This order can only be challenged in the Supreme Court, but it is highly unlikely the Supreme Court will take up appeal on such an obvious case of gross fraud committed by Unitech against consumers.

The need of the hour is to create a group to protect our collective interest. In case of Cascades as most of the buyers have already paid around 95% of the total due amount, Unitech is taking advantage of the situation and delaying the delivery by prioritizing other projects. We should go to consumer court for taking up right action against Unitech. There should be severe penalty for delays beyond 6 months, which is now more than 3 years for Cascades.

I have booked an unit in Unitech Fresh T-6.

I agree that we must form and join a group to step up pressure on Unitech. Meanwhile, suggest we continue to mount pressure on Unitech authorities by sending regular mails on delay and quality finishing. We cannot have only faster possession without quality workmanship. We need both.

Regds, Kumar ( [protected]@yahoo.com)

I agree we need to form a group. But most o[censored]s are staying abroad, how to proceed? I am based in Dubai, but willing to share the cost of litigation only will not be able to be present for court proceeding. Can anyone staying in India take the lead?

Hi,

I am planning to buy one resale from Unitech Heights, T-9.
Can anyone shade some light if there was any problem?

I can see from Ledger, HDFC rejected one installment(last but final) in 2009. there is interest since then accrued to 2.43 lac yet to be paid by owner.

Also seller has informed Rs 5/sq feet penalty from 2009, to be 5.5 lac during handover.

I am curious why HDFC rejected cheque. HDFC is giving me any info. Unitech is saying its owners fault.
Can anyone suggest?

Hello

Even I have recently purchased a resale flat in tower2 of Harmony (Kolkata) and even I am facing similar issues with regards to delay in construction, while purchasing I was duped by my broker Kolkata Properties saying that the possession will happen by 2 years, but now after enquiring from different sources, we are coming to know of the harsh reality ..I completely admit that it was my mistake to not do a proper market research before buying and simply trusting the broker.

Having said that can we all get together and from an association across all projects (Harmony, Cascades, etc) and build pressure on unitech.

My details are :

I have booked a flat in Cascades, Uniworld, Kolkata by paying 95% upfront way back .

I met the company officials including CEO of Bengal Unitech Universal very recently( 25th March, 2014) . The expected date of delivery is beyond 2016 . They are offering lower end flats in lower floors and also charging at current market rate ( according to them ) for additional space .

I am initiating following actions ( Finalised a team in Kolkata and Delhi in consultation with political leadership ) :

1. Criminal proceedings against company officials .
2. Consumer court complaint seeking loss of rent, mental agony in addition to return of deposit with 18% per anum interest and cost of litigation .
3. Approaching Competition Commission seeking inspection into unfair business ( promoter being dominant ) practices .
4.Media coverage ( Press, Electronic and Social Media )

It will be nice to be joined by similarly placed customers as the campaign can then be taken to National Commission straightway . Please write to me at [protected]@gmail.com giving details .

I booked a flat in Fresco Tower 7. Does anyone know the latest update on the Fresco project. Any information will be helpful

Hi, I am in the same boat - bought a flat in Tower 2 (fresco) with delivery 2013. It appears that unitech is not progressing and is not providing status updates. What actions can be taken to address this to ensure companies like this do not dupe their customers and get away with it.


regards,


B Banerjee

Hi All,

thanks

Hello Everyone,

I came across these posts regarding delay in possession of flat from Unitech on the website: www.consumercomplaints.in. I am actually in a similar state whereby my possession for the flat in the Heights Tower 9 has been delayed by more than 8 years! I live outside India and I wished to know if you have been able to sort out your problem with them. I am not averse to taking legal stand against them for this delay. I hope we can keep in touch and perhaps contemplate on the next course of action. You may contact me at my personal email given below.

Hi all,

Please reach me at avik.[protected]@gmail.com.

Recent gurgaon case was lost by Unitech. I have contacted the buyer association. He said he can provide me good lawyer to lodge case against Unitech in NCDRC. But we need to form a group of 25-30 fellow buyers. So come out & lets form a group.

Also join this page: https://www.facebook.com/unitechKolkataHomeBuyersAssociation?fref=ts

We have booked a flat in cascade Tower 10...original posession deadline was 2010...but it looks like it will not get delivered before 2020..if at all we get the posession..recently we visited the site..but construction work has been stopped completely...we need to make a pressure group...otherwise even delivery of flats looks like a distant dream...

Cheers.

I am very happy with the idea of forming an association to teach a lesson to Unitech. I live overseas too. When I visit Kolkata, I get limited time to see or talk to somebody in their office. Since 2007 (when we bought the property in cascade), their attitude has completely changed. Worst customer service I have ever seen in my life. I want to be a part of your group. Please let me know how to proceed.

thanks and regards

I am in the same situation with Harmony Unitech. We have paid 95% but no possession. I feel we should file a legal case.

Dear All, we have purchased a flat at unitech fresco kolkata, in Dec 2011 with delivery commitment ofwithin 36 months from the date of booking, and till now we have paid 90 percent of the cost of the flat, and unitech ltd does not confirm their schedule of completion, and their customer service does not pick up the phone call even, I am interested to join the group and resolve the issue my contact no, [protected]. Regards to all, , , C B Chatterjee

Hi Avik and everyone here .
I too paid 95% for a Harmony flat in 2007 . I just consulted TV panal on a property show and advised to move to court immediately to seek relief. We must form group with core committee members who can appoint lawyers and move court for relief . it's a long battle but so is this project.

Let's get together

Is there any update on forming an association and building pressure on Unitech to speed up the delivery process?
It seems the cascade and harmony buyers are the worst sufferers since the posession date has passed well over six years !

I had booked a flat in Cascades in Tower 5 in Feb 2012 and was supposed to get possession by Aug 2014 but still there has been no progress since I had booked the flat. I have already paid 95% of the amount (more than 90 lacs of my hard earned money). Please help me to join the group. What has been the latest update?
I have added my details on the Google Doc as well... I would humbly request to please update as to where do we stand as of today with regards to fighting the case against Unitech Kolkata.

Helllo, I have a house in unitech harmony 8th Tower the same has not been delivered yet.. looking for some people who have a house in there... need to connect and see how to take forward.
my email id is [protected]@yahoo.co.in .. Kindly inbox me your details. will connect.

To all Unitech Uniworld Kolkata buyers- we have formed a WhatsApp group and about to form an association to take this case collectively to the National Consumer Forum. You may send rqst to Mr Ak Mishra (@[protected] with your phone no and mail ID to get added.

unitech has to pay 12% penalty per annum as per lates ncrdc verdict

We have booked Cascade Tower 5 a long time back. Extremely worried about the present situation. Please let us know what actions needs to be taken. We live in UK and was supposed to get the flat in 2009.
I would like to join the Association so that we can take this further. I have sent a message to Mr AK Mishra with all the details. Will wait for your response. Thanks and regards

Fresco Kolkata buyers, please join me in facebook "Unitech Fresco Kolkata Court Case Group" to fight the case with unitech.

We are in the same position as you all living abroad and duped with false promises. We bought a resale flat in tower 9 cascade for my wife's parents to live in.This was in December 2010.Original procession was due end of 2009 but we were told that we would get procession by end of 2011. Naive as we were if would be a lovely place for my wife's parents and a years wait would not matter. The biggest mistake we made.
Now we are looking to see if we can buy somewhere else but this time we will go for flat that ready to move in - not ready for procession etc we want the key when we pay the money.
My advice to all the people who are seeking information about buying from Unitech or any builder do not part with your money until and unless you are in procession of you house/flat keys. Look at the board of directors of all the major buildings companies the same names appear again. There is collusion in the building trade hence the delays and exorbitant prices.
As for our flat we have lodged a case against Unitech- let's see what happens
Now it's a waiting game which happens first case verdict or flat procession 😀
I have just come across this forum. Tried the different links but could not get anywhere.
If there is any active group please could post the details again and I would like any advice and help.

I was told by Unitech Kolkata Customer Care that they are releasing Fresco Tower 2 this month, April 2017.

Fingers crossed, given their usually too frequent 'moving target' driven business model.

My commercial property at unitech downtown retail is near complition, but there is come complications arised just before delivery.
1. Project got delayed by approx 1 year. No compensation from builder, allthough the compensation clauses written in the agreement which is onesided e.g if i delay payment, penatly is 18% compounded, i[censored]nitech delay, its just rs 5 per sqft per month.
2) they r asking close to 7 Lacs extra dur to increase in super buildup area for which they never had asked exclusive buyers approval. They r taking this as granted through blanket buyer-seller agreement.
3) exaggerated maintenance cost

Pls let me know if there is any legal remedies for those extortion. What about STATE CONSUMER FORUM.

Please post me if there is any buyers forum for such grievance redrassal

Unitech Fresco Tower 2 release has been pushed back to May (usual moving target) - alibi non receipt of Fire dept's NCO. Go figure !

Hi myself Rajib paid some money for my apartment in Tower 5 in Harmony, the progress is too slow and need to join you guys in protest again Unitech. My e mail is [protected]@yahoo.com.

I have a similar situation. We booked Harmony Tower 6, 1893 sqft flat in early 2010 with promise of a handover in 2 and a half years. Now in 2017 nothing has been delivered with the state of the Harmony Tower 6 building not changing in the last 2 years since the last visit.
I would like to know the outcome of the proceedings that you had planned. Also what are the active proceedings against Bengal Unitech which I can join.

Thanks and regards

I have Booked a Flat in Tower 7 of Harmony in 2012 with a delivery sch in March, 2016. I have paid substantial amount and from the progress of work done it appears that they have siphoned the Installments taken. It is high time we all meet and finalize action jointly. We may approach court to seize the unsold ready flat in their possession and appoint an agency under Court supervision to complete the pending works from the sale proceeds and installments due.

let us form as effective Group. my contact is [protected]@hotmail.com & mobile: [protected]

We are owner of flat in T 8 and unitech was supposed to handover it in 2017 but till now it is under construction ...and as we know the directors are still in jail and the office employer doesn't have any update and info ...in such circumstances it will be better if we collectively fight for justice ...can we form a group and share our number
