Gurugram: Seven years gone, over 500 Aura buyers still awaits possession

Complaint against  Universal Aura - Cheated Buyers


Over a hundred investors with flats in Universal Group’s Aura Project were up in arms against the developers on Friday, protesting the prolonged delay in completion and possession of their homes. The agitated home buyers trooped to the office of Universal Buildwell Private Limited in Sohna in the morning and staged a demonstration.

Developed by Universal Buildwell Private Limited in collaboration with another agency, the Sector 82-based project was launched in 2010 and was supposed to be completed in 2015. The developer managed to sell off most of the 596 residential units each costing Rs 60-70 lakh.

However, even after missing several deadlines, the developer could not complete the work till date, the buyers complained. Construction work has been on hold for the past couple of years, they alleged. “The work was stalled back in June 2015 for reasons best known to the developers. And despite our several requests, they have so far not informed us so as to why the construction has been on hold,” said Anil Pathak, one of the home buyers.

Sources said the construction licence was issued in the name of Shiv Ganesh Builcon which was valid up to May 2015. “Homebuyers had filed an RTI that revealed that the licence had not been renewed because the developers did not deposit Rs 36 crore aas external development charges to the government. But why should we suffer when we have already made the payments from our end?” asked Itender Pal Singh, one of the home buyers.

“The homebuyers have already paid over 70% of the cost of the flats. We are paying EMIs as well as rents. And on top of that, we have been running from pillar to post for the possession of our homes,” said Seema Kaushik, another homebuyer.

Some of the aggrieved buyers have already approached the consumer forum well as court, seeking refund of their money with interest. The Universal management did not respond to repeated messages and calls seeking their comment on the claims made by the home buyers.
