I have bought a resale flat on Ghodbunder Road, Thane (W), Maharashtra. This flat was purchased by original owner during construction phase and he has now sold it to me few months before construction is over. The original owner and I have completed all the necessary formalities including agreement registration, obtaining a NOC from the builder and eventually the full payment from me to him.
However, the builder informed me that their management has taken a decision that possession certificate will not be given to buyers until they purchase either open or stilt parking each costing 1.5L or 2.5L respectively. I told them that I do not have a 4 wheeler vehicle neither I intend to buy one in near future. Hence, I do not wish to buy it. However, builder is adamant and not giving me the possession certiicate.
I would like to know:
1. can a builder make it mandatory to buyers to buy parking lot before possession certificate be given to him / her.
2. I have read that a builder can not sell parking slots in the stilt area as independant flats or garages.
Kindly clarify. Thanks.
