Society is charging panelty for vahical parking
3 years ago
I am a member of a housing society from last 7 years. Builder have not given me parking facility in society premises and sold at high prices to vested interest members. Till today i was parking in a common area. But now society is considering charging a 500 per day penalty for parking.
BMC has given approval for 48 parkings only. But illegally builder have sold more parking than approved.
I have proposed to society either give me a parking facility officially and charge me. Else first reoccupy parkings which are not approved by BMC. And charge them a penalty also for parking.
I don't know how to deal with it. (respond for penalty)
I am ready to buy parking space if society gives. But no members at present are selling any parking now.

The builder cannot charge you separately for car parking. The cost of construction, i.e. the sq ft rate, (which apart from your apartment, includes the cost of common areas) should include one car parking space. If you found this helpful, please rate us

A builder has to provide a certain number of parking spaces basis the number of units of houses. As per a mandate from the High Court, the builder is not allowed to sell parking spaces outside the FSI consumed. This has been confirmed by the Supreme Court of India too.
