Information regarding taxes while buying a property


04-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
I bought a flat in a 2-floor scheme for 60 lakh. In Feb 2012, I bought it with a verbal promise of possession in March 2013. The builder (against my wish) extended the flat scheme to 7 floors. After a settlement in July 2017, the builder then proceeded to give us a flat in the 7-floor scheme with possession in September 2018 and exchanged the file of the old flat for the new one. The new flat's AMC, AEC, Legal, Maintenance deposit, maintenance expense and taxes I'm liable for. The taxes have to be paid on 90 lakhs as that is the sum the jantri estimates in that particular area. Who is responsible for paying for the additional tax incurred? What documents does he have to provide in relation to this? When will the maintenance cost start, when the possession is handed over or when the BU Permission has passed? If not using the flat after possession, what should the maintenance expense be (other members will use the loading area but our built-up area won't be used)?

Since a settlement has been made and you have exchanged the old file with new file, you are deemed to have accepted everything as per new scheme. The new scheme has to be perused to see whether persons of old scheme are having any exemption. If not, you are liable to pay as per new scheme.
