The issue of paying the maintenance charge depends upon the terms and condition of the Deed of Sale. Receipt nor no receipt of CC is not of much important. The West Benggal Apartment Ownership Act, enacted to check the meance of Promoter Raj in Kolkata is however not much of help on this issue. However the Consumer Forum could be approached nn appropriate case if the vendor is the Developer and he is deficient in service. More details of the case is hence required.
