Real Estate Complaint filing against Hidden Charges Frauds

By Online Legal India Published On 19 Nov 2020 Updated On 20 Dec 2021 Category Consumer Complaint 6 comments

Real Estate is one of the most flourishing businesses in today’s scenario. A common man invests most of his life’s savings in real estate but many fake builders/agencies cheat the clients. One should be aware of the hidden charges while purchasing a property in India.

Suppose, the agreement is done in a manner that it splits 15% of the total valuation as a down payment for the agreement and then 8 installments. It sounds pretty good but construction work takes a long time and when you have actually paid 95% of the total value in the first year, now you have to wait for a couple of years to make the last 5% payment before getting the possession.

Some hidden charges that actually come while purchasing a property are:

Brokerage Fee
Car Parking Charge
Maintenance Deposit in bulk
Hidden Service Charges not mentioned in the papers

How to File a Complaint Against a Real Estate Agent

People can raise their complaints against hidden charges through RERA under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 of the Indian Govt.

First, you should reach out to your Real Estate Agency with your issue, if no solution is provided, then you can file a Real Estate Complaint against the agent/developer at the Consumer Court.

Hello Forum. I had booked a Site in Bangalore and iam a resident of Bangalore. Well I had booked a site with oraiyan group. Where the corporate office is suited near Ragigudda. Jp nagar Bangalore. They took 50000 thousand as booking. As I had told that I couldn't pay 1 lakh and they agreed for it. While booking the site there was person by Name Manjunath. Who is a 100% Fraud . He told there would be no cancelation charges retained by the company and we booked the Site. Later we had some financial crisis and there was some other purchase Commitment came. I couldn't have managed the EMI in both the places infact I told them. Later they told 30% would cut . At the time of booking I asked about this clause. They said don't worry it would be taken care. The worst part was so called Ceo of the Company had agreed and now they have given cheque of 35000. I would request buyers in Bangalore no to approach this people they are not professionals. Please don't wast your hard earned money. Kindly take this feedback seriously in the forum.
