[Resolved]  Unitech Kolkata — Delay in possession

Address:West Bengal

I am an NRI planning to move back to Kolkata from the USA. To settle my family in a decent housing complex we booked an apartment at Unitech/Uniworld Kolkata in April 2006 with a commitment for possession by summer 2009. We have already paid 95% of the amount and last 5% pending which is due during possession. Till today we do not have the apartment, neither there is any clear communication on delays or possession from Unitech. Each time I call/email end up getting a vague answer or delivery commitment which never happens.

Recent media about the company clearly indicates Unitech's bigger plans on looting their buyers. To build credibility and trust among buyers Unitech cleverly offered on the agreement to pay a compensation for delays @ Rs 2/sq feet. My decision for buying Unitech apartment was not due to Rs 2 compensation but to won a place for our move.

We live outside the country, therefore, don't have the leverage to visit their site frequently, now only dependent on communication from few buyers who've also bought in the same project and formed a group for discussion.

Due to Unitech's delay we had to take several losses and make changes in our family which is extremely inconvenient.

I would highly appreciate and be grateful if someone can provide some directions on how to deal with this situation.

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.

We all face the same problem. I have created a group. Please join in and lets start discussing the way forward. There is no way than being united against this promoter.

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 .

Dear Malay.

I have sent my details through email to you. What is the status of your movement. Can we all move together as a group like the Unitech customers at Gurgaon and Noida are doing.

Regards

Partha
Malay,

let me know if it helps in sending the details now. Similar fate for a flat bought in Harmony in Aug 2006. No news on possession.

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.

Hi All,


I have just come across this message trail for those who have been affected by the delayed possession by Unitech in Kolkata. I happened to be one, having made a down payment purchase at Unitech Harmony Tower 4 in 2008. It still remains a place in Space. Pls advise if any group has been formed


thanks

Hello Everyone,

I came across these posts regarding delay in possession of flat from Unitech on the website: https://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.

Please join this fight at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/unitech-kolkata-delays-possession

Hello Mr Dutta, we have flat in T8 which is still under construction ...and it is time unitedly we fight for justice
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.

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...

Hello M. Bhattacharya,


There is already some activity going on in this regard. We are taking up legal case against Unitech. Please join the facebook page suggested by Avik in a message just above yours.

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
