I recall my association with you when you were handling their matters. Now, I have a small question? are co-op housing societies covered under CPA for lack of service, redressal o genuine complaints, etc. Please give this info to me on complimentary basis.

Any problems in respect of services rendered such a maintenance, transfer of shares, etc. (which services are rendered for consideration) can be filed under CPA. However, disputes regarding administration in respect of which there is no hiring of service for consideration cannot be filed under CPA. Trust this answers your query. Should you require any further clarification, kindly e-mail me on jehangir_gai@indiatimes.com

unethical loading on mediclaim policies– request opinion
unable to email you
6 August, 2009 at 10:54 am
In my opinion loading is not permissible in view when the original terms of the contract do not provide for such loading, and all that is permissible is a reduction in the no claim bonus. My contention has been upheld by the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum for South Mumbai.
I can be contacted on jehangir_gai@indiatimes.com

Hi,
2007 Feb/Mar i decided to purchase a villa @ “Vishal Estate” at “Bhopal” from a builder “Maxworth Builders”. 15% paid, remaning not paid for want of registration which was required for loan disbursal (they promised verbally they would register post 15%).
Mar-2009 they sent a letter regretting inconvenience etc and stating everything would be sorted out.
However, no further progress yet…project is limbo and my money is stuck with them.
Is this case eligible for redressal under Consumer Protection Act? How should i proceed for rdressal?
Reason i never approached, inspite of th deep-frustration, is the lack of faith in the judicial system; do you think the consumer protection act cn provide rdressal?
Regards,
Pankaj

Dear Mr Gai,
I first heard about you from a friend, then read more about your work, on the web. Although I wonder if something like this falls within your purview, I urgently need your advice.
Sir, I live and work in Mumbai. And between March 2007 and November 2008, I was employed with Dentsu Marcom Pvt Ltd, an advertising agency in Mumbai.
Dentsu however, has it’s head office in Delhi, and so the matter of my EPF was being handled out of the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner’s Office in Delhi.
On April 29, 2009, my (by now ex) employers Dentsu Marcom Pvt Ltd, applied to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner in Delhi for a full remitance of my EPF dues :
PF A/c No DL/32004/126.
The RPFC acknowledged this application, and I have a copy of their stamped acknowledgement, with me.
But for a full year, there was no revertal from the RPFC.
So I sent them another request dated September 16, 2010. This was followed by one more letter from me on October 21, 2010. Plus a third reminder, on December 10, 2010.
Mr Gai, I had sent these letters to Delhi by Registered AD and also by courrier. I am certain that all the letters have reached the PF Commissioner’s office. But I have received no acknowledgements of receipt from them.
The letters include 1) my Bank Account Details in Mumbai, plus a signed attestation from my Bank Of India Manager stating that I have an account with the Bank. The letters also include 2) my Voter ID and PAN Card. The letters include 3) the application form sent by Dentsu Marcom to the RPFC, and their acknowledgement of the same.
But there has been absloutely no response to any of my entreaties, from the PF Commissioner’s office.
Meanwhile, my ex-employers Dentsu Marcom (both in Mumbai and in Delhi) have washed their hands clean off this matter, saying that it is now my business to follow up with the PF Office – they don’t even entertain phonecalls or correspondence from me.
On 15-1-2011, I made an appeal to the RTI through my CA, P. A. Dhanboora & Co, Mumbai.
The RTI promptly rejected the application because in their words, “the requisite fee in the form of IPO/Pay Order/Draft is wrong, and the applicant has instead paid court fees of Rs 100.”
I corrected this mistake and made a fresh application to the RTI with the correct sum. But this was again rejected by the RTI, “because this time, a fee of Rs 10 has not been enclosed.”
Once more, a new, modified application was sent by me and PA Dhanboora, to the RTI. But once more it was rejected, because in their words, “the court fee of Rs 10 was enclosed, instead of cash, DD/banker’s cheque or IPO.” Now, my CA has given up.
Yes, Mr Gai, the whole thing is a big mess. And with even a reputed body like the RTI playing games, I’m convinced that the whole business of EPF settlements is a wider racket than one would think.
But I’d love to have your advice on this. Is there is a surer, less complex way out? Is there any way at all, of claiming my dues without having to shell out huge sums of money ? Problem is, I don’t have connections in high places, and as things stand, I’m in no position to fly down to Delhi myself.
With many hopes,

Dear Sir
This is with regards ignorance of our complains towards leakages in our flat because of rain water. Secretary and Committee members give false promises to repair terrace. Bldg is 30 yrs old and was repaired and painted once but the terrace was not repaired.
My mom is a member of a cooperative housing society. We are tired of complaining for 3-4 yrs. Need some advice to wake these people. We are regular in our maintenance then why are we ignored and disrespected this way.
Regards
Mamta

Under the Bye-laws for co-operative housing societies, all leakages have to be repaired by the Society at its own cost. Since you are paying your maintenance charges regularly, it is the duty of the Society to ensure that necessary services are provided to you. Failure to repair the leakages and repair the terrace would be a deficiency in service, for which you can file a consumer complaint if you so desire. You would get a direction to the Society to carry out repairs, plus get compensation for the harassment caused by the leakage.

Thanks for your advice. I have the following queries.
1. How can I acquire rights to attend and speak in the AGM meeting of CHS. I have heard about becoming a associate member can give me that right. however I do not know the procedure.
2. How do I file a consumer complaint. Do I need a lawyer.
3. Is it time consuming and how long it takes to get resolved.
