Thane Kalpatru Immensa home buyers protest against builders/developers over delayed possession of flats
The Homebuyers of Thane Kalpatru Immensa are in doldrums over not getting possession of flats amidst paying Rs.1 crore. They are frustrated at the delaying tactics of the builders. What’s more irritating of the Homebuyers is that they are deprived of not getting a hearing from even the MahaRERA.
The Homebuyers left with no option have addressed a letter to the Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde over delayed possession of their homes in Kalpataru project in Thane.
As per the allegations by the homebuyers 80 active complaints are ongoing hearings at MahaRERA but they are deprived in getting timely hearings due to which justice is getting delayed.
It is learnt that around 1,200 homebuyers have booked flats by investing at least Rs 1,000 crore cumulatively in a 1,500-apartment township Kalpataru Immensa in Thane.
Suresh Sharma, a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) fumes that he sold all his investments and mutual funds to purchase a 1 BHK apartment by paying around Rs 40 lakh for a Rs 72 lakh apartment. But today he is pushed into a precarious situation over not having possession of the house. He is paying home loan EMI on monthly basis and his
Rs 40 lakh is stuck. He could easily earn 5-6 percent annually by keeping that money in a fixed deposit, but today it is stuck. He has almost paid 50 percent of the home loan but there is no sign of possession. The sad part is that a brand like Kalpataru is not communicating the real picture to the homebuyers.
Sharma added, On top of this, he is not getting timely hearings to his complaints filed over delayed possession.The buyers were promised possession in September 2021, and later in 2022. Today we are in the midst of May 2023 but are far from getting possession of our dream homes. The buyers expect the authorities to intervene and help around 1,200 homebuyers.
In a letter to Shinde through their lawyer, the homebuyers conveyed that they have filed several individual complaints with MahaRERA for the inordinate delay by the promoters (developers) in handing over the possession to the allottees, of their respective flats, as per promised date of possession in their respective agreements ranging from 2016.
The letter further adds, their clients are facing problems in not receiving the next date of hearing for months together. Besides this project, the complainants in other projects too are not getting dates for almost two years and more. This has led to a very delicate and difficult situation for bonafide allottees who, on one side are facing problems from non-committal builders on the other side, are on even getting a date for hearing months, if not years.
The hapless homebuyers further allege that they had booked apartments with Kalpataru Immensa in 2016 and were promised possession by September 2022. Adding that their project has around eight towers with 1,500 flats, of which around 90 percent are booked.
Meanwhile, Queries sent to the developer Kalpataru Group and MahaRERA did not elicit any response.
