Arijit, what is the google group where I can join and jointly speak with the builder? I have spoken about my complaints to the Vice Chariman of housing board, and they have inturn sent my letters to Shrachi asking for answers. But in the mean time, elections took place and I am waiting for the new chairman to be chaired. We can take this up with all possible people like HIDCO and if nothing happens, will take the legal course. My concerns are: 1) compensate me for the delay in possession as per agreement 2) Why electricity charges are so high - nearly 1 lac (60 Rs /sqft) 3) Legal fees are way too high- Rs 34,000 Please add me to the google group and lets join hands. My number is 09985529593Arijit, what is the google group where I can join and jointly speak with the builder?

Yes, we should discuss this and take this up with the builder together as owners. Let me know if you have received a letter from Shrachi, asking you to take possession of your apartment. If not, please call them up and ask, that what all you need to pay to them apart from registration charges. You will hear from them that there is something known as "electricity service charge" which is huge: Rs 60 per sqft. My flat is 1355 sqft, and it comes to Rs 83000. Top of that is service chargeof 10.3 % on that. Also, legal fees is Rs 34000. This absurdly high. Service charge of 10.3 % on that too. I had another apartment in Kolkata, where during registration the legal charges charged was Rs 10000. Everything is 3 times the actual cost with this builder.Yes, we should discuss this and take this up with the builder together as owners.
