Hi,
I am Aasheesh Sharma residing in Thane and have a 2BHK apartment for which I received the possession in January 2008 after paying the demanded Corpus fund and obtaining the possession letter.
I later received 2 letters from builders via courier in August and December 2012 demanding VAT charges amounting to Rs 1.24 lacs which I did not acknowledge in view of ambiguity associated with payment of VAT charges.
I have now all of a sudden received court notice from my builder demanding VAT amount of 1.82 lacs (inclusive of interest). I have read few forums on the internet which states that VAT liabiloity is on builder following to Supreme Court ruling.
I am annexing the required document which confirms demand of VAT.
Can you please review this and advise if I am liable to pay VAT to the builder? Why did the builder not demand VAT between 2012 and now?

In addition to the above, I tried to check the case number on Thane District court website but do not see any records? Suit number is 912/15. All documents sent by the builder are of 2015 rather than 2016?!
