The Authority OSD present in the meeting assured the residents that their team will visit the society to inspect whether the said work has been done or not. On the demand of the buyers, the builder has agreed to give details of the expenses incurred on the maintenance of the society in the last three years. The buyers complained that the shops built for the society were not as per the building bylaws. The OSD assured to conduct the investigation according to the approved masterplan.

Deepak Chauhan [41], AOA Secretary, says, “The IFMS amount that the builder has given has not been calculated properly. It should be around Rs 4 crores and not Rs 3.63 crores. We are not satisfied with it. The builder has not kept several of his promises. Seepage is a perennial problem in our society. We are still living with only a temporary power connection as the builder has failed to get us a permanent one till now. There are many more such issues. Most of us received possession in October 2018. But till now, our problems are persistent".
