Need advice - parking space

Hi Experts

I am going to buy an apartment in Pune.

The builder is providing open reserved parking by providing allotment letter and parking map showing my allotted parking and parking number. It is an open to sky parking below the building. They already  had added 3 lacs in total agreement cost (“told unofficially”).

But they are mentioning “No parking” in the agreement to sale and not ready to amend it. I asked them to at least mention the allotted parking number in the agreement but they are not ready.

They have a double dependent covered car parking (one  parking behind other), but asking ₹5 lacs for it. They will mention this parking in agreement as “Large covered parking” but will not mention the parking number in agreement. An allotment letter will be provided for the same.

what should I do?

P.S. Occupation certificate has been issued for the building but society is yet to be formed.

Regards

Nikhil

Builder does not have any right to sale or allot open parking space. The allotment of open parking spaces rests with the co-operative society after its formation. It is not advisable to purchase parking spaces from the builder.

Thank you for your reply.

What do you suggest on purchasing a covered parking?

Builder can sell only fully built garages, he can not sell either open or stilt parking spaces. There are High Court and Supreme Court judgments against builder selling either open or stilt parking spaces. There are well defined parking bye-laws for the Housing societies. They are as under:


"78. a. The Society shall in the General Body meeting frame and adopt Parking Rules to regulate the Parking slots, in accordance with the Act and Rules there under 

b. The allotment of Parking Space shall be made by the Committee on the basis of "First Come First Served", for available parking slots However the Member shall have no right to sell or transfer the Parking Slot allotted by the Society.
 
c. No Member shall be entitled to utilize more parking slots than that officially allotted to him by the Society 

79. Where any parking slots have been built or open space in the Society's compound is available for parking of cars, the Society shall number and demarcate the stilts and / or the open space in such a way that no inconvenience would be caused to any of the Members of the Society. The Committee shall ensure that the space is used by the Members for the purpose for which it is allotted to them. 

80. A Member having a vehicle will be eligible to have parking slot. Normally no Member shall be eligible for being allotted more than one parking slot. The vehicles may be owned by him or allotted to him by his employer, or the firm of which he is the partner or the company of which he is the director. If any
parking slots remain unallotted for want of applicants, additional parking slots may be allotted to such Members who already have a slot allotted to them in normal course. Such allotment of additional parking slots shall be made on year to year basis, provided the same are not required by other Members, who have
not been allotted even a single parking slot. 

81. In case the number of eligible Members for parking slots is in excess of the available parking slots, then the Managing Committee shall allot parking slots on annual basis by fair and transparent process, in concurrence with the General Body regulations. 

82. The Member, desiring to have parking slot, may make an application to the Secretary of the Society giving necessary details. The procedure laid down under the bye-law No. 64 for disposal of applications, shall be followed by the Secretary and the Committee of the Society. 

83. Every Member shall pay the for parking charges for the number of slots allotted to him / her at such rate as may be decided by the General Body of the Society at its meeting, irrespective of the fact whether he actually parks his vehicle or
not. 

84. Every Member, having a scooter, a motor cycle, or an autorickshaw shall obtain prior permission of the Committee for parking his vehicle in the compound of
the Society and pay the charges fixed by the General Body of the Society at its meeting."

Parking can not be sold by builder, it is held illegal by Supreme Court.

Open area is part of common area which can not be allotted to flat buyer.
