Right Bhawna,
As per Supreme Court order, developer is only entitled to charge price for the common areas and facilities from each flat buyer in proportion to the carpet area of the flat. Open car parking is part of common area and builder can not sell this open parking to buyers..Most of buyers have got covered car parking by default with flat cost.

Hi Bikram,
But how many of us know about this rule and once buyer signs the agreement, we are not liable to claim for such charges and Builder always come in Win Win Situation.

Out of 100 % of slotting Car parks, 25 % Car Parks are actually for Visitors. where as many builders they do not follow such rules and Sold more than 75 % in any project. Builder knows very well, buyers actually need car park and he mention to purchase the Car Parks.

Hi Himanshu,
According to the ''Apartment Act'' in most states, car parking is a part of the society's common areas. Since the purchase of parking slots has been considered illegal, the transaction to purchase would become invalid. Once the housing society is registered, it becomes the owner of all the common spaces of the apartment complex including the parking spots. So, if there are limited number of parking spots, than the managing committee decides the basis of the distribution in consultation with the members.

Bhuvan is right. Parking spaces have often been a matter of prime concern for several apartment complexes. Often there are some disputes like allocation of spaces or the fee structures. Parking spaces are common spaces which belong to the housing society. Allotment of the same is at their discretion and the same can be done by means of First Come, First Serve or however the managing committee deems fit.
