Builder is providing an insufficient parking and selling parking space


27-Aug-2026 (In Property Law)
Builder is providing a 7ft wide space for parking. As per RERA norms, width should be min 2.5m & as per the sanctioned parking layout plan (12.5sqm per slot), there can be only 18 covered parkings, but he has divided an area where only 2 parkings can be slotted into 3 slots & total covered slots are now 21. Maneuvering space is also insufficient. In agreement he has written that parking space will be no more than 9sqm. Can the builder be challenged for not following RERA and sanctioned layout

I can help you challenge the builder before MahaRERA/other competent authorities. We can examine the sanctioned parking layout, agreement, and applicable parking norms to determine whether the builder has illegally increased the number of parking slots, provided inadequate parking dimensions/maneuvering space, or violated the sanctioned plan and RERA disclosures. Please share the relevant documents for detailed review.

Short Opinion - Yes, Builder Can Be Challenged. Builder's act of providing 7ft / 9 sqm parking against sanctioned 12.5 sqm (2.5m x 5m) plan and creating 21 slots instead of sanctioned 18 is illegal. Violation: 1. Sec 14 RERA Act, 2016: No alteration in sanctioned parking layout without 2/3rd allottees consent. Sub-dividing 2 slots into 3 is a clear violation. 2. Deficiency: 7ft width is below NBC / UDCPR norm of min 2.5m width & 3m-4.5m maneuvering space - not usable. 3. Illegal Agreement Clause: 9 sqm clause cannot override sanctioned plan & statutory norms u/s 11 RERA. Remedy: File Complaint u/s 31 RERA before MahaRERA seeking restoration as per sanctioned plan + refund with interest. Also complaint to Municipal Authority for deviation. *In short:* The additional 3 parkings are illegal and 7ft parking is deficient. You have a strong case in RERA.

Yes, challengable on various grounds like builder can't deviate from sanctioned plan without allottees consent and NBC norms and also the space deficiency This needs a proper review of your RERA registration documents, OC/CC, and sale agreement together before I can give you a firm opinion let's set up a short consultation to go through the paperwork.

yes you can challenge the parking spot which he has a allocated to you but you need to provide officially via document either you need a certified letter from an architect or an engineer or you need to file an application for rehra inspection of the parking spaces which has been allocated in your case if they found the parking a small according to you you will get to compensation and a proper parking place according to the agreement or either ways you can satellite out with the builder in the main time if he is ready to settle it out with you

Yes he can definitely be challenged because your society may never receive an OC which will reduce your prices considerably high and you’ll be facing issues on a daily basis if you live there .. I’ll be texting you on WhatsApp soon we can get in touch for the same sir
