Flat Owners Who Have Already Paid VAT Join the Fight!

"I am Not Afraid of My Builder"



Recording of Pune Property Buyers' Meet on Sunday, 28th October 2012:


Now, those Pune property buyers who have purchased flats between 2006 and 2010 and have already paid VAT (Value Added Tax) can get justice too!

Those who have paid VAT,
can join those who have refused to pay VAT before 31st October 2012 deadline!!

Now, those who have paid VAT, can proudly say - "I am Not Afraid of My Builder"

Those who have already paid VAT,
didn't know that 31st October is a deadline for builders - not for property buyers.

Those who have already paid VAT,
didn't know that their builder was not legally qualified to recover VAT (Value Added Tax).

Those who have paid VAT,
thought that there is no option but to fulfil the commitment in agreement.

Those who have paid VAT, didn't know where to complain against the builder, claimed Mr. Suryakant Pathak of Grahak Panchayat Pune. Appealing to those who have already paid VAT, Mr. Pathak said, "Now, you have realized that it was illegal recovery of VAT - you too join the fight against VAT"

Addressing to huge crowd of Pune property buyers gathered at Perugate Bhave School on Sunday evening, Mr. Sudhakar Velankar of Grahak Hitwardhini said,"Only a few - less than 10 - builders were registered dealers before 2010! Collection of VAT by unregistered dealer is illegal. So, most of the VAT recovery - by unregistered builder and without giving proper VAT invoice - is illegal"

Mr. Pathak & Mr. Velankar appealed to all property buyers who have already paid VAT to lodge complaint against their builder with Sales Tax Department in this format:
