Magarpatta flats ownership issues, problems

PMC (Pune Municipality)Tax commissioner told we are occupiers of flats and not owners even after paying 50 Lacs to builder of Magarpatta City .

Evident fact that we are not owner for the flats is that

I)  We can’t use club house or gym, pool without permission & fee to the builder to tune of Rs 25000/-.  He imposes penalty of 5000/- by forfeiting deposit, he takes, to allow use of club house[besides Rs 4000 for use], at his whims.
