Dear Experts..
I need some help on maintainance charges applicable for flat purchased from builder.
We recieved posession letter in Nov 2009. Thus expected the builder would apply maintainance charges from Nov 2009 onwards. However the builder has applied maintainance charges on us from June 2009, since they recieved OC (occupation certificate) since June 2009.
Can you please advice, from when the builder can charge maintainance charges? I believe its only fair to apply charges from posession date onwards.
Also is service tax payable on the maintainance charges to builder?
Thanks..
