[Resolved]  Indian Railway Welfare Organization (Irwo) — Regarding Cheating, restrictive and unfair trade practices o[censored]nscrupulous house Developer/ Builder_ Indian Railway Welfare Organization (IRWO)

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi

On 10.06.2013, I submitted an application to the builder viz. IRWO for booking of one Dwelling Unit/Flat in Rail Vihar, Near Kundli/Sonepat (NCR), Haryana and made payment of booking amount of Rs. 1, 50, 000/- and also Rs. 1, 000/- towards membership fee along with application for membership. Indian Railway Welfare Organisation (IRWO) is a Society registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It has its head quarters at Railway Office Complex, Behind Shankar Market, New Delhi-110001. Its present activity is restricted to construction of houses for its Members all over the country through self financing schemes.

2. The IRWO vide its letter No. IRWO/DF/SNP Kundli/Phase II/R-II/BR dated 23/7/2013 informed me that one dwelling unit (DU) had been booked in my favour. The above letter does not specify even the sale price which an allottee has to pay, thus imposing unfair and arbitrary sale price and holding the allottees to ransom.

3. That for making payments to IRWO, I wanted to avail Housing loan, for which I requested the IRWO to supply me the necessary documents as required by the Bank and the same have not been supplied by IRWO despite my several requests and reminders. In the absence of necessary documents and necessary approvals from authorities, the selling of flats by IRWO is unlawful and illegal. The Bank has not sanctioned my Housing Loan due to insufficient documents

4. The IRWO had misled the public by advertising on the web and stating in the brochure that “the tentative cost of the DU (Dwelling Unit) is Rs. 44.5 lakhs+”, While the ground reality is that the cost of the dwelling unit would be Rs. 60.0 lakhs+. I was shocked to note from the IRWO letter dated 23/7/2013 (marked as Annex-11) that I shall have also to pay Rs. [1, 42, 660+1, 42, 659] i.e. Rs. 2, 85, 319/- towards EDC/IDC etc and Rs. 2.50 lakhs towards Car Parking Charges, totaling Rs. 5, 35, 319/-extra apart from EC+ST.

5. Now, I request you to help me in getting refund my Application Money (Rs.1, 000/-) and booking amount (Rs. 1, 50, 000/-) along with interest @15% P.A. from the date of taking deposit of money till the date of payment..
