Mumbai: Around 60 home owners of Kalpataru Immensa- Kolshet - Thane gathered today at Kalpatarua Limited’s head office in Santacruz to demand possession of their homes promised to them more than two years ago.
Owners demanded immediate possession of flats, for which most had made 90 per cent of the payments. Apart from demanding possession, some were even demanding return of their monies since the builder was not giving any clear cut commitments.
1200 home owners of Kalpataru impacted
"Despite repeated requests and insistence in the last 6-8 months, Kalpataru management has not been giving clear cut answers. Even today, some senior officials came out to talk, but they still did not give any commitment to dates. There is something really bad brewing at Kalpataru because most of their projects are in a similar mess," said Ashish, a home owner who had come from Thane to protest at the builder's Santa Cruz head office. Ashish is demanding his money back, having already paid over Rs 90 lakhs.
“Most of the flats are in the exact same state as they were one-and-a-half years ago, and the builder continues to cite pandemic issues as the cause,” added Sachin, another home owner from Thane.
More than 1200 home owners of Kalpataru have been impacted by the builder’s delay and unresponsiveness. Most of these home owners are facing financial crunch owing to high inflation, parallel payment of house rent, increased EMIs and several other issues, including family medical emergencies and job and business losses in the last two years.
Kalpataru management were earlier not ready to talk, but when two officials came out to meet the protestors, nothing came out of the talks.
