Letter on back dated/ approvals obtained. The developer failed to obtained Occupation Certificates of majority of the buildings in Mira Road. Unauthorised work is carried out in recent buildings details are as under: 1. Gaurav Woods Phase I & II 2. Gaurav Valley 3. Gaurav Excellency 4. Gaurav Safron 4. Gaurav Avenue 5. Gaurav Sankalp MCGM and Municipal Commissioner, Mira Road has confirmed above facts of unauthorised work by filing affidavits in High Court matters. The developer has breached majority of conditions of ULC permissions and sold out flats reserved for handing over to the Government in majority of projects in Mira Road & Mumbai. The developer has so far not executed conveyance in favour of any Society of hundreds of buildings constructed by him in Mira Road & Mumbai. It is fact that developer has not completed any project in time. This developer is infamous for selling flats to more then one flat purchasers and dupe hundreds of innocent purchasers. Even he does not afraid to register flat documents of same flat in favour of more than one party! This builder publishes huge advertisements and offers very competitive rates to lure innocent purchasers. People out of greed, get attracted by these advertisements and purchase flats. However, later on the project gets delayed and the hard earned money at a great risk. Desperate purchasers rush to get keys of flats even though Lift is not installed or Official water connection is not obtained by builder as they found huge risk to get the flat sold to another party! However, they are not aware that the developer has not obtained requisite permissions, Occupation Certificates, Lift Safety Permission, Permanent Water connection etc. All these non-compliances result into declaration of building as “unauthorised” in Municipal Records. The officers do not take any action till the builder completes entire work, sale all flats and receive majority of money from purchasers. After that, for eye wash, Municipal Officers issues notices to the builder that the building is unauthorised. After issuing such notices, the Authorities withheld all further balance important permissions like CC & Occupation Certificates to these buildings and the officers finishes their duty. Surprisingly, these notices never served to flat purchasers hence this fact never came to their knowledge. People pay higher water & property assessment charges for non-compliances. What is regrettable is that the authorities continue to grant approvals for new projects to this builder without compelling him to complete pending compliances in respect of old projects on priority! Thus, innocent flat purchasers are penalized by the authorities though there is no default on their part and what is most regrettable is that they even did not bother to inform the occupants of these buildings that their buildings are “unauthorised” on record or their developer has not completed majority of compliances for which they have withheld much important mandatory permission!!! Our Shri Sudhir Khandwala, flat purchaser with help of other flat purchasers has taken up these issues in interest of flat purchasers who become victims of well planned, deliberate irregularities of this developer. However, the hands of Ravi Group are so high that it is difficult to get justice easily. Therefore, members of general public are hereby warned to not to purchase flats from this builder considering his dubious track record.
