People should know how DLF is ruining India by continuing to take advantage of subservient masses of India. Indian masses are nurtured and indoctrinated over thousand of years to remain apathetic and obedient to the mighty Lords. DLF exactly know this very well and have exploited this very trait of Indians to become one of the most richest person on this earth.
In the year 2006 DLF had launched a 19 floor apartment at a prime location in Gurgaon called The Belaire. I also booked a 4 bedroom flat and paid the earnest money on the 5th of september. Subsequently I received a payment schedule from them on the 30th September where I was expected to pay them the entire money by 5th of December. The very next letter was a demand notice on the 16th Oct. 2006 for the next installment due. There was no mention of any Agreement, no mention of any building sanctioned or something but a demand notice for more money. I live next door to this planned building and I was very well aware that there was no movement at all on the construction site than why on earth DLF was seeking more money from me. The only relationship I had with this DLF was for the purchase of this apartment in this building, why on earth would they require more money from me when they have not even started to excavate the site area. I did not budge, but not for long. They again served with a notice on the 7th Nov. 2006 as a reminder of their dues. Imagine my condition where I am living next door to this site and not like some NRI or from Delhi, could see the development at the ground on daily basis. Right outside my balcony. It did not stop here and I received another threatening reminder from them on the 22nd Nov. 2006 to cough up the money or face cancellation that could result in the forfeiture of my entire money that I had paid to them. Despite the fact that there was no agreement signed, despite the fact that there was no ground movement, despite the fact there was nothing tangible that I could see with respect to this building yet, I relented and paid them the due money.
You can not imagine what was in store for me. The black shadow of DLF engulfing me and the peace of my life. They threatened me with notices and obnoxious replies over the phone and than came this letter on the 26th of December where they were patting on their chest for their victory over hapless customers like me and claiming to have performed the Bhoomi Pujan on the 21st December on that land. They have been threatening me of dire consequences, threatening me to confiscate my earnest money, threatening me of sending demand notice of another arrears due to the other expenses that DLF had to pay on my behalf like brokerage etc.. and after all this they have acknowledged that "Yes, we know that we had not even started the work at the site but what the heck, what can you do about it". You all would be shocked to know that today we have come to know (after using RTI act and extracting information from the DTPC) that it was only on the 2nd January that DLF had formally submitted the building plan sanction paper with the authorities for the due scrutiny and approval of the project. It was only on the 18th April they had received the approvals from the authorities for the construction of 19 floor apartment called The Belaire. This only only proves the extent our nation has accepted the corruption as the way of life where one of the most richest man on this earth plays around with the law of our land without any respect or fear in the broad day light.
The story goes on from here and to the worst where I ended up with a cancellation letter in my hand and a cheque worth less by Rs. 46 lacs. Today it has reached to a stage where I have left my job of a MNC and have joined full time an Association to fight my case against DLF and bring them down forever. I would not go down come what may, even if I would be assassinated by DLF goons. And for The Belaire, it is a 29 Floor building today standing naked on the crossroad of Phase 5, Gurgaon hounded by 350 original allottees of the year 2006 for compensation worth more that Rs. 500 crores.
