Q:I have bought a 2 BHK flat with a stilt car parking. Builder charged 2 lakh additional for stilt car parking which is included in the registered agreement cost. Car parking allotment with number mentioned in the agreement. Please advice if it's sufficient to claim ownership on this stilt car parking under the new rules and regulations for sale of car parking.
Latest Answer: In 2010, the Supreme Court had ruled that open or stilt car parking area cannot be sold or treated as flat or garage and sold to individual flat owners, but at the best be treated as common area. These spaces are part of the common areas in flat complexes and not saleable independently as a flat or along with a flat. If builder is further insisting for additional car parking charges then file suit in the consumer forum.
Latest Answer: Don't pay any additional amount for car parking charges. And if builder is insisting then drag him to consumer forum or can suit a case against him.
Car parking and open terraces are a part of the society's common areas. They are not a part of the Floor Space Index (FSI). Hence, the builder has no right to charge any money for this space.
