Maintances Charges

[Kanika Khatri Daing]

Hi Sir,

My mom lives in Pune in a rented apartment and she has been paying monthly maintance with water charges to the builder, however people who were taking care of all have either left or eatn the money as when she paid they never gave her a slip, hence she has a note signed by them while taking the payment. Now they have come up with bills which states we have not made any payments. What can be done here ?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

You’ll have to produce the evidence / proof of the payments made by your mother. If she has taken note signed by the persons for collecting the payments, then the same may be produced. You can find out the details and whereabouts of the persons who collected payments on behalf of the builder, from the builder. Also find out whether other members of the society were also similarly making payments to those persons. Also, whether those persons were authorized to collect payments. You can also ask why the bills were not given earlier and why bills for so many months are being given now in a bunch.
