    Dear Lionel,

    Usual cost is approximately Rs. 5 to 6 thousand per member. Rest he should return. Be aware that often builders charge Rs. 10-15 thousand per member as society registration.

    sir,
    We have paid per flat between 20 - 30,000 per flat , as you mentioned it should be maximum6000.00 means a surplus of approx. 20000 x 2400 flats of one complex = 4,80,00000.00 to,be received. Very unjust , kindly advise the options available . total flats he is in the process of building will be 40000 + where the amount will be humongous.
    Regards
    Mr. Lobo

    Mr. Lobo,

    At face of it, your situation qualifies to go to consumer court. You can claim and get refund via consumer court.

    Having said that, there could be more to it which we cannot comment without reviewing your entire situation and documents. In isolation, you can get such refunds via consumer courts. You could discuss this with one of good lawyers in your area.
