Bye laws of redevelopment project

Dear Members,

I have bought a new flat from builder in redevelopment project. 50% flats are old owners and 50% flats builder sell to new customer like me. Now, building is ready and OC received and also builder has start giving possession. Now, builder is asking certain amount cheque on society name as saying old owners have that much amount in the society bank account so, they demand equal amount from each new flat owners.

Is this OK as per bye laws because, at the time of booking builder has asked x amount and now he increased almost thrice.

If it is OK so, as new members which document we can asked from builder or society because currently all this on verbal communication and no documented proof shown.



Quick Summary
A new flat owner in a redevelopment project is questioning a significant, verbal demand from the builder for an additional sum of money, which is reportedly equal to what older flat owners have contributed to the society. The owner is seeking clarification on whether this demand is legal according to the bye-laws, as it triples the initial booking amount. They are asking for documented proof and relevant legal clauses to justify this fresh demand.

If you feel that this fresh demand made by the builder is unjustified, illegal and exorbitant, you may ask him to give the details  of the demand made  in writing quoting relevant laws/bylaws pertaining to this demand,  so that you can take a considered decision.

I agree with the opinion and advise of expert Mr T Kalaiselvan, you may assail demand if you feel it is unjustified or illegal.
