You know what? Even before launching the project, your builder had planned to delay possession of your flat.

When you ask for the date of possession, very casually the salesman commits some date.

With the same casualness, you accept the flat possession date and tell yourself - "Chhe Mahine Ka Delay to Hota Hi Hai".

At the time of registration of flat agreement - you notice that the date mentioned in the agreement is not the same date the salesman had mentioned when you booked the flat.

"December 2017 is only for the agreement - actually you will get possession in June 2017 - as our sales executive had told you at the time of booking," the builder's representative convinces you.

"That's okay! But what is this? You have mentioned 6 months grace period from December 2017 - means June 2018 - this is unacceptable," you try to protest.

"This is just an agreement. A legal document. We have to keep some buffer period to avoid legal complications. A standard industry practice. But the flat possession is planned much earlier. Just the same date our sales manager had given," the builder's representative assures.

After this type of conversation, very rarely, a flat buyer refuses to sign the agreement and leaves the registration office.

"Chhe Mahine Ka Delay To Chalta Hai - but don't delay possession by a year," a flat buyers begs & signs the agreement.

Thanking you for being practical, the builder's representative says,"We are corporate builders. Big brand in Pune real estate market. We are professional. You know what those small builders do? They don't mention possession date in the agreement. They just write - possession in 24 months or possession in 36 months - from the date of agreement. The agreement done in February 2015 & the agreement done in 2017 has the same clause - possession in 24 or 36 months!! We are not like them! We are corporate"

"Yes! I know. That's why I had booked a flat with you. But be sure that possession is in time," says the flat buyer.

"Sure. We are well known for timely possession," says the builder's representative.

"But one of my colleagues told me that the possession of your last project was delayed," the flat buyer expresses his concern.

"Oh! That was because of certain circumstances. Which were beyond our control. Kabhi Kabhi Hota Hai. Vaise Bhi - Chhe Mahine Ka Delay To Chalta Hai. Right?," says the builder's representative

"Yes, Chhe Mahine Ka Delay To Chalta Hai - but not more than that!," says a flat buyer.

At Velocita Brand Consultants offices, most of the victims of delayed flat possession realized that delayed possession was not an accident or a result of some unfortunate incident or unforeseen circumstances.

Way before launching the project, their builder had planned to commit this crime against the flat buyers.

Their builder could commit this crime only because of their attitude about flat possession - "Chhe Mahine Ka Delay To Chalta Hai"

What say you?

Do you believe in "Chhe Mahine Ka Delay To Chalta Hai"?

If yes, be ready to become a victim of your builder.

If not, still, be ready to become a victim of your builder.

Because, delayed flat possession is a well planned crime. And Pune builders are expert in committing this crime against the flat buyers.

Certainly, demonetisation is just an excuse to delay flat possession in 2017 - 18.
