Builder is asking extra money beyond sell agreement can I file case


31-Jan-2023 (In Property Law)

I booked a flat of Super buildup area 976 sq.ft in Aug'15 & already paid 644000/-. As per the sell agreement the total cost of flat is 3220000/-. The flat got completion certificate in 2014. As I am taking bank loan, my bank (SBI) assessed the flat in Sep'15 & measure it 976 sq ft also.Now just before I am going for flat registration, they are asking me to pay 43000/- more money as they are demanding that my flat super build up area raised 13 sq ft.As I am buying a already complete flat then how the flat measurement suddenly gone up.Is this demand legal.

1. Ask to measure the flat once gain by a professional man in your presence. 2. No no extra area is found you are not liable for making extra payment. 3. Those are are standard tactics to extort customers in Kolkata. 4. If the builder insists for extra payment consider approaching consumer forum for reliefs including damages and compensation.

This demand of money is definitely illegal, and a cause of action arises against the builders. You can file a consumer case against the builder in the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum in your local jurisdiction against your builder. At the very least you should send legal notice to the builder stating that such demand of money is unjustifiable, mala-fide, illegal and without any basis whatsoever in the eyes of law.
