Dear Amitabh,
Good that you have written to Oberoi Realty stating unacceptable changes and refund of proportionate amount. Please ask all your friends/flatowners to write on this blog so I can keep track of all people. I cannot believe that any flatowner would be okay with these changes, apparently, Oberoi Realty claims some people are fine with the changes. Either they do not understand what they are losing out or Oberoi Realty are lying. In any case, we need to inform and update everyone. I will try to get the list of all flatowners out and contact them, would need your help also.
I met a senior solicitor today and discussed the issues.
1. DLF has lost 670 cr to a recent MRDP ruling under 'unfair practices'. This will help our case in case we go for litigation
2. Lawyer states builder is wrong since no DC amendments states that balconies cannot be provided. Builder wants to avoid paying premium/penalty. Thus, Builder will most likely agree to do settlement / refund.
3. Lawyer says, write to builder and ask for refund for the usable area that has been lost out (in my case it works out to be 550 sq ft. for a 4bhk). Wait for builder to reply, bombard him with reminders every 5 days. Incase reply is not favorable, take lawyers advice and send LEGAL NOTICE.
Please get more people to read this blog and give their views, share contact information.
