Our builder is creating a big problem by forcing us to pay for two-wheeler parking. He never told us about this during our flat purchase, and there’s no other society nearby doing this. We’ve tried everything – going to the development authority, police, and even the DM, but no one seems to help. We’re stuck! What can we do?

Under Indian law, a builder cannot impose charges for amenities not mentioned in the sale agreement or approved by the authority. You can file a consumer complaint against the builder for unfair trade practices and seek compensation for the illegal charges. You can also approach the Consumer Forum or the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) to seek redress.
