Home Buyers are increasingly engaging builder on various issues related to projects. Builders also find it difficult to silence individuals when confronted as groups. Although social media and informal groups are good for raising collective voice, buyers should look forward to registering their associations.
Home buyers associations can file cases on behalf of its members at various forums including Consumer forums. Cumulative value of cases when filed by association can easily exceed one crore and case can directly be filed in NCDRC. A legally recognized and registered association gives an impression of seriousness of people involved. A legally recognized group can present the grievances of home buyers group at various forums.
It is also worthwhile to mention that various defamation cases are being filed by builders against individuals. A registered association can always stand up against such tactics by builders and back those who are targeted by builders.
To sum it up, it is very advantageous to form a legally registered association to file a case cumulatively against a builder.

The best advantage is unity of consumers can create problem for builder, secondly as a group your monetary value can become more and more possibility of coming directly to national commission instead of district forum than state forum than national. If your property value is more than 1 crore then you can directly approach NCDRC.plus you can share the legal expenses. It is always better to get united and fight against these law breakers and cheaters.
