[dheerajjain]

Greater Faridabad Welfare Association (GFWA) representatives were invited by DTP (as per letter attached) on 21st December, 12 for attending top level meeting under chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner, Faridabad in presence of SDM, STP, DTP, dozens of colonizers (builders ) operating in Faridabad and various officers of other departments like Labour, SE Huda. Point wise discussions are as under (Contributed by Umesh Ji, member, GFWA Working Committee):

1. POOR CONSTRUCTION and Usage of Low grade material:
Hon'ble DC communicated that he already held a meeting with all the colonizers and communicated all necessary instructions and preventive measures are adapted by them in this regard and violations are dealt with appropriately.

2.Change in Layout plan without the consent of buyers:

As per his comments that all the colonizers are supposed to take the consent of the buyers by way of informing them regarding the alterations, in the licenses, by way of sending mails or letters to the stake holders and seek their consent.

No concrete directions were communicated to the colonizers as the same was vehemently objected by the colonizers.

3. EDC/IDC collections beyond the LOI rates:
a. STP informed that GFWA has already had a presentation in front of DGTCP and the H.O. is working on the same.
STP also informed that State's Real estate regulatory is almost ready and will be come in action within some months[shortly].
b. As far as Labour cess and the financial charges are concerned that the same is the accounting process and is discussed and negotiated among buyers and the Colonizers.
c. Also regarding the escalation of charges he was surely not in favour of escalation but after the objections raised by the builders DC had a fillip in his stance and reiterated that as the same is the accounting matter and duly discussed and resolved among buyers and the respective builders.

4. Change in the Super area without consent and justification:
In this regard DC has directed me to make the presentation on the same and put before him. If there is violation of statutory norms found criminal action will be taken against the builders.

My focal point was builders are increasing the super area beyond the imaginations of buyers and also charging EDC on the same questioning as if EDC rates are revised in the LOI of the same license. It amounts to be doubly charging of the EDC and same can be criminally booked with Breach of trust and Cheating under IPC.

5. Demand of Open/Stilt car parking in spit of SC ruling on the same:
As the issue was confused by one of the builders that the same is legitimate and can be charged. He has assured to hon'ble Ajay Yadav ji that he will send the complete SC ruling with the REMARKS of SC order.

6. Handing over the maintenance to the respective RWAs:
On the same DTP replied that respective RWAs will be handed over the maintenance once contacted to him.

I have tried all the points covered and reciprocated/made observations by the DC on 21.12.2012.

Some points are also covered in Dainik Bhaskar, 22nd December, 12
