When Mr Sottany from Lalbaug, Mumbai bought a flat through an auction from Punjab National Bank (PNB), he provided all the necessary documents to get the membership transferred to his name. He also settled the previous maintenance dues of Rs 3 lakh and paid a transfer fee of Rs 25,000 to the society. Despite this, he faced multiple issues with the housing society, including problems with his membership to parking.
Sottany said that for reasons best known to the housing society, they did not register him as a member. The society claimed that the builder did not grant Sottany any 'No due' certificate. This issue was resolved when Sottany got a 'no- due' certificate from the builder.
