R. P. Rathod.
Shri. Sachin. Ahir., Minister of State for Housing, had reintroduced "The Bill", along with
the recommendations given by the 19-member committee, in the legislative assembly on Monday the 16th July 2012. After discussions finally the Bill has been passed by both
houses of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly and was supported by the opposition, however only a handful of legislators were present in the House when the bill was approved. As the Bill involves punitive actions like imprisonment, hence the bill will have to be sent for the President’s assent.
Before investing your hard earned money in a house, make sure you have chosen a reputed builder
After
staying in a leave and license accommodation
for many
years,
an enthusiast dreaming to
have his own house, eventually bought a flat in Borivli
by taking a home loan. Since
shifting was a priority to save the dual cost
of the lease rental and the loan
repayment on his new purchase,
he readily signed a letter stating
that he was being given
the keys
to his flat by the builder pending the completion
of the building “for carrying out furniture work”

all the other Negative News floating in the
market, this is one such news which would further dissuade the buyers from

Builder restrained from demolishing Society building contracted for Re-development
In one case of Re-development
says Adv. R. P. Rathod, the Mumbai High Court has rightly observed
that while redeveloping properties of Co-operative Housing Societies (Chs) when there is
dissent by a few members, the stakeholders and persons concerned in such cases
should include the society, the developer, minority members, consultants, and the
Municipal
authorities. After this observation there are sharp reactions from
such quarters. It is unfortunate that a well-worded and analyzed decision of
the Mumbai High Court has
given rise to apprehensions. In my view, these are baseless.
Builders are still cheating Buyers
Citing the landmark judgment recently
delivered by a State Commission has
ensured redress for a harassed
Matunga couple. The Maharashtra
State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed Khar-based
Monish Builders to pay Aarti and Vikas Modi Rs 7.86 lakh as damages and hand
over possession of the
Chunabhatti flat they had bought in 2006 says Adv. R. P.

Legally Binding - Builders must provide parking without additional charge.
In a recent Judgment the Builders were required to
refund the Parking Charges collected by them analysis Adv. R. P. Rathod.
The State consumer watchdog has ruled
that builders must provide parking space without charging additional amount
from flat buyers. The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission, whose order is legally binding, recently directed a
developer to refund the money he had charged for parking spaces and allowed
compensation of Rs 10,000 for failing to execute the deed of an apartment in
favour of its buyers.
Builders must admit Land Mortgage: RBI
Mumbai: Potential flat-buyers have cause
for cheer. In a move that will help increase transparency in the housing
industry, the Reserve Bank of
India has mandated that builders must make a public disclosure
of land mortgaged to banks—including the name of the bank—in their
advertisements, brochures and project pamphlets. They will also have to take
the permission/NOC of the bank while selling the flats.
An amendment to the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act is underway
In the City of Mumbai & Thane – Where
Land costs equals to Gold & per sq feet rates of Flat are costlier than the
rates of per carat of diamonds. In times when property prices have shot up through
the roof unscrupulous builders don't think twice about cheating
their clients. But soon they'll find it harder to get away.
