I AM A SIMILAR SUFFERER OF THE FRAUD PLAYED ON ME BY AN EXECUTIVE OF DALMIA RESORTS.
Reply
I request all time share holders to unite and take the fight to its logical destination.
We are suffering at the hands of the management of Dalmia Resorts. In March Dalmia resorts sent us a hefty bill of 39000 towards AMC plus 18% interest since 2007. They apparently referred to a letter of 2007 which we never received in which they indicated they will charge an AMC of Rs 3500 each year, even if we do not avail of the time-share. I believe it is a conscious strategy of Dalmia resorts to suddenly stake a hefty claim on the unsuspecting time-share owners so that they can forfeit the time-share from the owners as they will not be able or willing to pay the hefty amount. We have a timeshare with Old Anchor Goa. Would like to hear if others had the same experience and how they dealt with it.

We have just received a similar letter from Dalmia Resorts asking us to pay up the maintenance dues. We had replied to their demand letter in 2007 stating that Dalmia Resorts should first take suitable measures to build up trust amongst the timeshare owners in view of the fact that the company and its resorts are in shambles and have been thus since 1998. We would very much like all time share owners to get together and fight the management so as to force them to first actually restart the timeshare company for all practical purposes and then come back to the owners for help

I never got any letter till date, but was foolish enough to pay AMC charges for 2 years. Now they have sent an email claiming that I should pay about Rs.189000/= but have been generous enough to make it Rs.30, 000/= @Rs5000/= per year per unit week. That makes Rs.2, 50, 000/= or more per year maintenance charge for the shoddily maintained rooms.
Dalmia Resorts is a fraud and cheat organization.

They never sent any letter to me too which they say they sent in 2007.
Obviously I am going to take action against them.

Got a mail today after I said I would like to surrender and spend my time doing better work.
They say that I have malafide intentions.

Dear Ma'm
We we never informed about the AMC.
When I had visited in March 2012, the 4 inch thick mattresses were 2 inch thick.
You did not even spend Rs5000/= per year on any room and have been asking for
Rs.5000/= as annual maintenance fee for every unit week even i[censored]nused.
As far as I am aware, members have registered cases against you. Some have
even won.
Thanks for the offer. As we seem to disagree on most matters, and we
would prefer to keep off from taking legal action, I would
like to surrender my membership if a reasonable amount is paid to me.
Have a nice day.
Thanks

Yes, I got exact similar letter Dalmia Resorts p ltd demanding payment of maintenance charges with interest for my one bedroom time share in old Anchor Goa-Resort. There is no justification for their demand.From 1987 to 2007 there is demand for such a maintenance. Apparently they have a clause in the fine print that enables them to claim such charges. These people are running a scam scheme.
First they make it difficult at every step, and then they rent the vacant time shares (Through their website) and pocket the money. They should in effect should(ethically..which they are not)credit the owner of the Time share after deducting their charges/commission.
It will be in the interest of all Time share owners to take up with Consumer court /Competition commission or in any other court.

I have a time share week of Dalmia resorts in manali for high season ( June 2nd week )which for whatever reason has not been made till date. Further I also have a week at Goa for high season (1st week of march) which Iam not able to utilise as the property has been in shambles for a long time. The sales executive while selling me the two bed unit in manali had offered to sell our goa unit at a premium so that we could use the funds to pay for the manali unit. While we paid for the manali unit the sales executive conveniently let his job and in the process we were suckered into holding two time shares of which none were usable. Need advice on how to go about getting our claims from the company.

Dear Time Share Holders,
I too is a sufferer of abnormal annual maintenance charges being demanded by Dalmia Resorts citing certain fine prints clauses of the agreement entered between vacation owner and Dalmia Resorts. I have been requesting the company to help me in disposing off the time share I have in Tirupati Property but no help came forward. It appears that few executives of the company are misleading the promoters i.e. Dalmia Group. Dalmia Group was known for adopting ethical business practices as also known for their generous philanthropist activities. Promoters should come forward to help small investors who have invested their hard earned money by refunding their deposit amount and take back the time share. I believe, Dalmia Resorts have three properties - one at Goa, other at Mussorie and one at Tirupati.and they can a good price on disposing off the properties.
Can some one or the company's promoters help me as neither I can not afford to pay abnormal annual maintenance charges nor I am interested to retain the vacation ownership at Tirupati Property? So far I could use the facility only once. in last 17 years.
Thanks & Wishing all of you a happy Diwali.

I am an owner of Dalmia resorts Goa time share unit. Time share was sold to me in 1993. I have the regd. Time share certificate and title deed.
I have gone there and stayed 2 times before 2007.
In 2009 they have asked for a big sum as Annual maintenance charges arrears for past years .
in 2014 they said they are forfeiting the ownership .as per the original agreement there is no need to pay AMC every year.
When you go there you pay. Otherwise they will sell my time share and earn.
What is the way to reclaim my interest in the time share. Ownership was perpetual on the property.
If any one of same predicament I would like to join for getting back my interest in the property
