HM constructions
Refusal to refund of money paid

We had booked for flat in HM Worldcity phase -II in Feb after visiting the site and seeing the construction in progress in phase-1.

Thereafter we made the advance payment and the initial three instalments for the progressive construction and for the sale & construction agreements, a sum of over over Rs 20 lakhs (40% of the total cost) by March. As per the agreement, the flat was to be handed over by July. But in July we recd. a letter from buildder stating a delay in getting permit and the revised handing over date is shifted to Dec.

Sometime in Oct when we visited the site, there was no work going on, and no progress of work since March. The phase -I was getting completed and few had startetd occupying even when lots of works were pending/being done.

Then we decided to cancel the booking and seek the refund and sent registerd letter and email.

We had sent number of mails and letters by registered post and even visited thier office in Bangalore.

But the builder is non responsive to our request for cancellation and refund of money paid.

Now the builder has snet a letter syaing that the Construction Commencement cirtificate is not yet been recd. and the project is further delayed till Dec.

The mail & our reply that is as below:

To

The Directors

HM constructions

As repeatedly commumicated to over email and registered post, we are not interested to continue in your project (as:

You have failed to make any progress in work after collecting over Rs 20 lakhs from us in March

Failed to handover the flat to us by Dec

Failed to respond to our repeated requests for cancellation of the agreements-SEPIA-304

Failed to respond to our repeated requests for refund of our money already paid to you

Now there is further delay and you have not even commenced the construction, but simply blaming tha authorities and not sure when you will complete the project

Hence please arrange to cancel our agreements and refund our money withiut any further delay and confirm in writing when you will refund the money.

Thanking you,

B.Prabhakar and Prema Prabhakar

Dear Sir,

Subject: Delay in Completion of the Project - Phase II

Further to our earlier communication on our HM World City project, we would like to intimate the factual position in the progress made as follows:

1. The building has been completed upto plinth area and awaiting for Commencement Certificate from the BBMP, which has not been issued inspite of our best efforts. However, the matter is taken up with the authorities for early disposal.

2. Since further construction will commence only after the receipt of Commencement Certificate, which is beyond our control, there will be delay in the completion of the project and consequent delivery of the Apartment, but not later than Dec.

3. We will keep you informed on the progress and also installment Payment to facilitate early completion once the above mentioned formalities are fulfilled.

4. If any clarification or information is required, please contact our marketing department.

Regards,

CRM Team

Dear Mr. Siwani- Director -HMGroup,

As there was no communication from your office in response to my various mails, I had to come from Chennai to Bangalore to discuss this matter.

I met Ms. Sridevi, this morning at your office. She told me that the refund modalities are to be decided only by you. Hence I asked her to fix an apponitment for me with you today itself any time, but she could not do so (I don't know for whatever reasons!!!) while I was waiting in your office from 11 to 12 and then from 2.30 to 6.0 p.m.

I also requested your secretary Ms. Rashmi, to contact you and fix an appointment for me with you in this connection, atleast on Thursday morning, but she could not confirm till now.

Hence Iam sending this mail seeking a meeting with you on Thursday (22nd Jan) morning.

The traling mails give the sequence of communication sent by me from mid Nov-08 on this issue.

Please do the needful immediately.

Shall meet you on Thursday morning.

Thanking you,

B.Prabhakar
