I have taken possession of a flat in a township in Pune in 2018.Before getting possession the builder had given me no Dues Pending letter indicating that there are no dues pending.Before taking possesion I had paid 2 years maintenance in advance as demanded by the builder.Now the builder is demanding additional maintenance and sending every month legal notice on his letterhead every month.When I have No dues letter what should I do?

A.Dear client,
You should have to reply to the legal notice sent by the builder. Write about the maintenance you have already paid to the builder and safeguard any of the evidences you have to support your claim.

A.Dear Client,
In the given situation, if the flat you bought from the Builder is a registered project under RERA, then file a complaint against the builder before the said authority over alleged unfair trade practice. Or else you can file a complaint before the Consumer Court against the builder for unfair trade practice claiming compensation for harassment. Reach out to an Advocate for serving a counter-legal notice to the builder in reply to his legal notice and for filing a complaint before the concerned Authority/Court for appropriate relief in the matter.
