[Resolved]  Supertech Limited (Developers) — CHEATING & FRAUD

I had booked a 3 BHK apartment (1588 sqft), Flat no C-414 in Supertech, Palm Greens, Meerut in the year April 2006 with a commitment to offer possession in December 2007. The same was also informed publically in one of the press conference held by them on 1st July 2006. The same was also published in Hindustan Hindi newspaper, Meerut edition on 2nd July 2006. The possession did not even happen in Dec 2007, so after continuous follow ups with them it was given to us in writing that the possession of the flat may be delayed till April 2009. It was also stated in the letter that they shall pay rental @ Rs. 4 per sqft. from May 2009 till the handing over of the flat. Although all payments were made on time, the possession finally occurred in April 2010.

During the time of sale there were some commitments made by Supertech (through brochures and press conference) viz. providing Chandler, Exhaust Fan, Geyser (in One Bathroom), 3 Tier security with video phone, Health Club but were not delivered during possession. When we enquired for the same it was told that since the entire project is not completed hence the same will be provided in due course of time. However, it’s been more than 2 and a half years now that we have got the possession but still we have not received it yet.

Maintenance fee communicated to us through pre launch brochure at the time of booking was Approx. INR 750 per month however the same at the time of possession was communicated as INR 1588. This is completely a fraud.

While submitting all the papers required for possession in March 2010, The Supertech authorities very cleverly asked for the no dues form to be signed by us saying that it’s a set format which all need to sign for the possession. When asked for the due rental for the duration May 2009 till April 2010, we were assured that it shall be adjusted in the maintenance charges (maintenance charges are payable @Rs 1/ sqft). The due rental was Rs. 6352 per month (Rs 76,224 for the duration mentioned above) while the maintenance charges amounted to Rs 1588 per month (rs 19056 for duration mentioned + service tax). We also requested vide our letter that the maintenance charges for 1 year may be adjusted and the remaining amount may be refunded as cheque. However, we got no response from the authorities. Suddenly after 1 year, the supertech authorities started sending the bills for maintenance charges. We again requested through 6 letters to them in last 9 months that the rental may be adjusted against maintenance for further years but none of the letters were responded. We recently received a plain letter (not on letter head and without any signatory) from supertech saying that “one year free maintenance has already been applied against the penalty payable by us and as goodwill gesture. Moreover, at the time of execution of the sale deed, final settlement on your account was done and you have acknowledged the same”. The company got this no dues cleverly signed by us assuring that the rental shall be paid while it has not been considered. This is sheer cheating on the part of SUPERTECH!!!!
