How to proceed legally against the builder

Dear Client,
A Schedule of property in a deed of conveyance/Sale specifies the volume of property including a covered car parking garage or excluding the same. Open /Stilt parking, visitor parking, and basement parking are not included in the FSI (Floor Space Index) calculation and accordingly do not appear in the schedule of the deed. Stilt parking means partially covered spaces on the ground floor or basement of a building, with an 8-foot ceiling height from the ground. The builder as well as housing society do not possess ownership rights over these parking spaces. As per the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) Act of 2016, builders are allowed to sell covered garage spaces separately. However, open or stilt parking spaces are considered common amenities and cannot be charged separately. So, check out your ATS of Deed of Sale and ensure whether the car parking space is mentioned as a covered parking space with a measurement of floor or it is a Stilt or open parking space and resolve the matter accordingly. For any kind of dispute related to the real estate business, you may escalate your complaint over a deficiency in service and unfair trade practice against the Builder either before the RERA or the Consumer Forum for the appropriate relief. However, you cannot file a complaint both before the RERA and Consumer Forum at a time for the same cause of action.
