I applied for a house in 16.02.2004 with Alliance Builders at Bareilly with a promise to get the house in 18 months from the date of booking. I was asked for 10% of the total cost and the land was registered in my name by the the authorities. The builders then signed an agreement for contract of construction as per specification & type purchased. They handed over the completed house in 26.11.2006 . Now, the Registration authorities have sent us NOTICE for cheating on STAMP DUTY paid by us during the time of registration, stating that we have purchased house and not land. The Stamp Duty paid is for land only. Now they want the difference. The fact remains that at the time of registration no construction was there.
The builder says they have nothing to do with whatsoever. To attract customers, they put the price low, register the land, keep taking money from the customer in instalments and make the house without investing much from their pocket. Now we are left to fight the legal battle with authorities for which we are not responsible at all.
