I had booked a flat/apartment with a multunational comapny in Kolkata. I am a investor and at the time of booking I was given an allotment letter that i could transfer the flat/apartment to a third party after taking posession by paying Rs.30/ per square feet. After completion I took the posession and scouted for a buyer and after finalising all the terms visited the comapny to transfer the said flat/apartment by taking Rs. 30 per sq ft which the comapny refused stating that I should first get the flat/appartment registered with Registrar of Assurances by paying requisite stamp duty. By paying the said registration charges by cost goes up which becomes uneconomical considering the curren market price. This was not the agreed terms. Kindly advise what action I can take against the company ?

The Vendor/Developer certainly can not do so even if there is such clause in the Allotment Letter. However this is becoming quite a trend in Kolkata which we often find our clients/buyers to be beset with such menace. You could take appropriate legal steps for getting the requisite relief which fortunately the Forums of Law in Kolkata does not shirk off.
