The purpose of this complaint is to enlighten people to keep away from residential projects of Ansal Housing & Construction Ltd. & join hands to fight against their fraudulent practices. Unfortunately I am one of their victims.
I booked a 3 BHK (1675) flat through a dealer (KALRA REALTORS in Barakhamba Road & Nehru Place) in September. This dealer offered me an upfront discount of 5% on Basic Sale Price (BSP) of 3095 per sq. ft. Hence the BSP after discount was 2940 per sq. ft. I DID NOT EVEN BARGAIN for this rate, hoping that this dealer will cooperate properly.
So I send them the BLUE application form (dated September) along with ALL the required documents and the initial booking cheque of 5 lacs (also dated September). My cheque was cleared in the first week of October. This application form clearly showed the rate of 2, 940 and ALL the amount calculations in the form were based on this rate.
Once my cheque got cleared, this dealer completely changed his face. He did not gave me the acknowledgement of the application form and neither gave his credit note (of 5% upfront discount as he offered). Finally after lots of convincing & requests (for this even my father went to his office several times), he gave the credit note of 3% direct discount & 2% dealer discount. Now you can imagine what does this dealer discount means (chase him again and again, even though I am paying the money)?
Then finally on 16 January I received the acknowledgment of this application form. And to my surprise, it was NOT stamped by Kalra Realtors, but by another sub-broker named MNC PROPMART in Gurgaon. Actually this was to defend Kalra Realtors from any legal implications.
Then on 30 January the first demand letter was issued to me by Ansal Housing & Construction Ltd. And on this letter, the last date of payment had already passed (29 January). And again to my surprise, Ansal Housing charged me at the BSP of 3, 145 (which was 50/- more than what was stamped in the application form and the attached Annexure) and with discount of 3% only (due to the credit note offered by Kalra Realtors).
By this time, I had already paid more then 12% of the cost of the flat.
Now here the fraud is not only done by the dealers (Kalra Realtors & sub-broker MNC Propmart) but also by the builder ANSAL HOUSING.
1. On their application form, it is clearly mentioned that Ansal Housing will NOT accept ANY payment without acknowledging the application form. Then how can Ansal Housing accept the initial booking payment without agreeing on the rate mentioned in the stamped application form?
2. The dealer (Kalra Realtors) told me that if I do not accept his credit note (including 2% dealer discount) then my booking would be cancelled whereby I will have to bear the heavy penalty of 20% from Ansal Housing, which means my entire amount paid (12%) would be forfeited.
Now I am struggling with these dealers and the builder (Ansal Housing) to get this rectified to whatever extent possible.
My suggestion to you is to keep away from such dealers (Kalra Realtors & MNC Propmart), and such high profile fraud builders (who write these strict rules on their application forms just to fool their customers).
Thanks for reading my post. I hope it helps you and your friends.
