Summary:
But the builder insisted that Shetty pay maintenance for the flat since he had been offered possession, along with a 21 per cent interest till date, whether he is residing there or not. But since the builder did not get the OC, Shetty refused to move into the flat. Tushar Shetty had purchased an apartment in developer Bhupeshbabu Nilliparambil's project Enkay Garden in Navi Mumbai in 2010, and was promised possession of the apartment in 2014. He pleaded before the authority that the developer be directed to obtain OC from the civic authority at the earliest and not demand maintenance charges till then. MahaRERA ruled in favour of Shetty, saying he does not have to pay maintenance fees till he possesses the apartment, and added that if the flat is not handed over by June, the builder would pay interest on the amount Shetty has shelled out to buy the flat..
