[Resolved]  Lodha Developers — Cheating with customer by Lodha builders

Address:

Andhra Pradesh

Dear Sir/ Madam

Myself Anil Lachhwani, want the help of Pehredar for my genuine issue with Lodha Developers.

I and my wife booked a flat in their CASA PARADISO project in Hyderabad on JANUARY 14 2011 on 6th floor of their EDEN C wing , flat NO. 610. At the time of booking we told the executive that we will take loan from SBI. He said the project is approved by SBI and referred the branch name & contact person . As the agreement was construction linked we paid our 20 % in 42 days as required by the builder. For further release of funds we approached the bank and got the shock of our life that the project was not approved by GHMC. Knowing this we approached the builder tthat the bank says the project is not approved ….hence it will not release the fund. To this the representative said ,” give us a sanction letter by SBI and till we get approvals , no interest will be charged…”. So based on our documents and eligibility the bank gave us a sanction letter in time that it will release the fund , once the project is approved… we submitted the sanction letter to the builder. From then on it’s a nightmare.:
1. The builder didn’t inform at the time of booking that the approval is awaited.
2. The builder has still not received approval for the 6th and 7th floor.
3. Every time an installment is due we are getting a letter with heavily compounded interest, to which the customer care executive said pls ignore the same as it is system generated. I have copy of the mails I sent to them. But she never agreed to give it in writing. Recently she has resigned and the story is back to square one as the project incharge is after me to pay the interest as well as the fund. Now I am being forced by them to go to HDFC and raise a loan and pay all the interest. Though still 6th and 7th floor approval is pending.
4. The project incharge doesn’t respond to calls or mails or messages….but I am duly getting compounded interest payment letters.
5. Most of the people who have booked a flat on 6th floor have been sent mails by the representatives of the builder that No interest will be charged till approval is received….but they are not giving the same to me. Is that discrimination justified….????? I went to the site office today as well but in vain….i am realllllllly stressed !!!!
6. I have got a payment demand for service tax as well. I am in dilemma that as the approval is awaited for 6 TH and &7 th floor, on what basis am I being asked for the payment of Service tax? I am getting letter with18 % interest for all outstanding including service tax.

Please help me to deal with it and teach such people who take common man for a ride a lesson for a lifetime.
