Clarification regarding Stamp duty
22-Jan-2023 (In Property Law)
We are the landlords and we gave our property for developing. The builder gave us money and a built-up area which is 20% larger area than our old house. The development agreement which was registered says that the builder has to pay the registration and stamp duty if any. He has not given us official possession letters for our new flats. However his advocate through a letter had asked us to take possession of our flats, which we did. All electricity, water and property taxes still come on his name. Does that make us illegal owners of our own flats and do we have to register and pay stamp duty if any for our flats?
I would suggest the following remedy:
1. You must request the builder for the possession letter, otherwise incomplete documents proves your unlawful possession of the flats;
2. You have to request the builder to transfer all the utility bills to your name;
3. Since you dont have the requisite documents, that puts you in jeopardy of losing the flat;
4. If he does not transfer the flat or refuses to transfer your flat in your name, then you can send a legal notice.
5. You can then file a consumer complaint against builder for deficiency of services.
