Hi Ankur,
You can not blame a builder every time. If he is not getting the approval then how can they start the work. May be your builder is facing the same problem. Nobody want to lose their reputation.

You might have heard Suraj Parmar's death, a prominent builder in Thane who ended his life due to the repeated demands for bribes by the several government departments. This case is very clear that there was no financial issue in this case. There is an issue in the way the system works.

Right Abhi,
The main reason is the approval process that has become indescribable lengthy, tedious, unpredictable and depends on the whims of individual officers. Getting approvals has become a major problem for builders and has increased the interest cost not just of the builders but also of consumers.

Because of that Maharashtra Govt. has to take few necessary steps against the approval process. You might aware of that.

I am also facing the identical problem...purchased in 2010 with commitment for delivery on 2013. Still struggling as the fresh date of possession given as April 2016..Feeling cheated as everyday delay is causing massive losses to me which I cannot afford...

Can we create a whatsup or mail group and take it up with competent authorities (Builder seniors, Govt and political) for right compensation.

Hi Ankur,
Before you finalize any project, it is advisable to check few essential points. These are 1) Ground report, 2) In good company, 3) Quality Certificate, 4) Realty ratings and 5) Financial stability.

For all that, you can do a quick internet search by keying the company name in customer forums, blogs, news reports, property sites, etc. It would have a lot of information). It will better if you do field research.

Dear Zulfi, I am also in the same position, booked in Casa rio in 2010 and builder has again postponed date to April 15. My one close relative also want to buy one, but after seeing this response of builder he quits his decision.
Why builder doesn't understand of customer problems... This will making down their own reputation.
