In a recent directive, the Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has instructed Saket Engineers, the developer of the Saket Pranamam retirement community in Gowdavalli, Medchal, to address multiple construction and service deficiencies within 60 days. This action follows complaints from senior residents of Block B, who reported issues such as inadequate water supply, non-functional lifts, and persistent rainwater leakage. The authority also clarified that the cooperative society formed under the Telangana Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies Act, 1995, will oversee maintenance and administration, rather than the previously formed Friends Association.
The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) recently issued a directive to Saket Engineers, the developer of the Saket Pranamam retirement community in Gowdavalli, Medchal, to rectify several construction and service deficiencies within a 60-day timeframe. This decision came in response to complaints from senior residents of Block B, who reported issues such as inadequate potable water supply, non-functional lifts, and persistent rainwater leakage. The residents also highlighted delays in possession, which they claimed caused financial distress, and noted that their requests for compensation were ignored.
A significant point of contention was the formation of a cooperative society, which the complainants argued violated Clause 19(a) of the original agreement. They objected to the cooperative societies bye-laws, which allow voluntary membership and management decisions that might exclude flat owners. However, TGRERA clarified that the cooperative society, established under the Telangana Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies Act, 1995, will be the competent body for maintenance and administration, in accordance with existing legal frameworks and court rulings.
Furthermore, TGRERA has mandated the developer to furnish and publicly display monthly maintenance income and expenditure statements. Failure to comply with these directives would invite action under Section 63 of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act.
By enforcing the rectification of defects and clarifying the governance structure, the authority aims to ensure that residents receive the quality of living promised to them. This move also serves as a reminder to developers about the legal and ethical obligations they hold towards their clients, emphasizing the need for transparency and prompt resolution of grievances in the real estate sector.
