Hi:
3. Builder asks to take persmission & pay Rs 4000 per day for use of club house- for any get together.
4. Builder asks to pay 10,000 per year and 2500 as registration fee for use of Gymn, to the builder- inspite of it being mentioned as amenity.
While we are paying for gym and swimming pool usage, he is using 10Lacs per year to give it to Poonawala foundation as charity, from our maintenance money- without our consent.
5. On top of it, he forces every flat purchaser/ tenant to have builder issued id card @100 else his guards harass in entry to flats.
6. He doesn't allow the use the notice boards and tears of notices unless Rs 200 is paid for each notice.
7. He runs his commercial library in our club house.
11. All basement parking is seeping which is detrimental to the buildings.
Please look into the issue of flat ownership,freedom to sell, use lift, gym, control on our maintenance money of 100 crores, with stop on wastage of our maintenance money on annual 10 Lacs donations, when I am paying 56 for choked drainage or Rs 2000 for allowing me to come out of house, in case of malfunctioning main door lock locks me in the house.
Thanks
Magarpatta Citizens
We are residents of Magarpatta city Pune. We read news of DLF monoply case with CCI and wish to inform you similar practice adopted by our famous builder Satish Magar and his company- Magarpatta Township development Company, address: Magarapatta City, Pune, under patronage of a powerful union minister and DyCM & CM of Maharastra.
The flats here were developed and promoted as 'walk to work' concept and most of the flats (10000) are purchased by the software engineers of Amdocs, Mphasis, Patni employees, as commercial buildings are in same area. I don't say-owned as ownership is still retained by the Magarpatta company cum Satish Magar by indulging in malpractices for his monopoly in this concept of 'walk to work'.
Monopoly: This was the novel concept and so people purchased flats - unknowingly knowing that they will not have ownership & freeedom of India, as it should be.
Malpractice:
1. He has tri- party flat sale agreement with he and his company being 2 parties - signed by a single person- his power of attorney.
2.. We don't have freedom to sell house. We have to seek permission from Magarpatta company and need to pay 80,000 as admin fee. Previous he used to take it all in cash. Now he issues receipt as admin fee.
b) Besides this admin fee, he takes 2Lacs as enhanced maintenance fee- thus 3Lacs in each sale of the flat as admin fee.3. Builder asks to take persmission & pay Rs 4000 per day for use of club house- for any get together.
4. Builder asks to pay 10,000 per year and 2500 as registration fee for use of Gymn, to the builder- inspite of it being mentioned as amenity.
While we are paying for gym and swimming pool usage, he is using 10Lacs per year to give it to Poonawala foundation as charity, from our maintenance money- without our consent.
5. On top of it, he forces every flat purchaser/ tenant to have builder issued id card @100 else his guards harass in entry to flats.
6. He doesn't allow the use the notice boards and tears of notices unless Rs 200 is paid for each notice.
7. He runs his commercial library in our club house.
8. He has posted 3 guards at city entrance who don't allow newspaper hawker and milk vendors inside and he charges 10,000 from each of the 4 of his designated hawkers- who recover money from us- as service charge for paper delivery.His single designated Milk vendor charge 2-4 per liter over the MRP.[ When it was 26/- per liter, we paid 30/-]
9. Parking outside of our home or office is 10/- per vehicle by his own people. Any parking on road side or against his guard wish cause penalty of 500/-. 6 Parking in crowded Magarpatta city's market place are reserved for him & unused. If we park there or on side of road, his guards lock the vehicle with big locks and extort 500 for release.
10. He didn't care to give possession of flats, on time for his monopoly and I got possession of flats after one year of date on agreement.11. All basement parking is seeping which is detrimental to the buildings.
12. For his monopoly and being president of PBAP and his good connection, he doesn't plan to give ownership to us and perhaps with a plan that on fall of the building, he will rebuild & reselll the flats.
13. He too sold the parking (1.5Lacs) against law and against SupremeCourt order and overcharged for MSEB connection for 60000 per flat for his monoploy and stronghold.
14. To top it all, he doesn't allow to use the lift for even a suitcase for even 11th floor resident. This is total harassment for his mononpoly. His guards switch off the lift or issue 1000/- penalty for use of lift for any baggage.
15. With his clout, he is forcing companies in the campus to ask for Magarpatta id card, for overseas travel, if they live here ! eg Amdocs.
16. Tata indicom installed intercom but builder asked Tata not to give intercom directory to us, making intercom installation useless for us.
17. He spends lakhs on his company foundation day with no details on expenditure of our maintenance money and still no entry if I don't have his issued id card.Please look into the issue of flat ownership,freedom to sell, use lift, gym, control on our maintenance money of 100 crores, with stop on wastage of our maintenance money on annual 10 Lacs donations, when I am paying 56 for choked drainage or Rs 2000 for allowing me to come out of house, in case of malfunctioning main door lock locks me in the house.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI have faced similar problems
What if we can form a community to oppose it. I know many people getting harrased daily because of these rules
Thanks
I faced same problem
ReplyDeleteSomeone has to file a PIL Petition and see the legality of all the actions taken by the Magarpatta Management..
ReplyDeleteMagarpatta – A story of lucky, influential Sugarcane farmers who pooled, waited and grabbed business opportunity at the right time thus becoming rich from rags. Later presented their case as a unique business model based on a collaborative mindset.
ReplyDeleteMagarpatta, they claim it is “pride of Pune”, classify it as a “city”, the “first” integrated township in India. They call it a unique business Model where 120 farmers pooled in their land to come up with a new ideology, or rather put it correctly, a business model, encashing the urban growth of Pune and striking the right chord at the right time during the IT and Real Estate Boom. A little-known secret is the fact that the influential Magar’s, the main farmer (sorry… Managing Director) Satish is a relative of veteran politician Annasaheb Magar and the Magar clan is close to Sharad Pawar and NCP without whose blessing, their so called ideological dream would not have materialised. Luckily, the business has flourished and has yielded windfall gains, suddenly the fortunes of the once sugarcane farmers has drastically changed. The Magar’s have become millionaires now and consider themselves no less than Lords. With almost 100% occupancy in both office space and residential space, with soaring real estate prices, Magar’s fortune has struck gold. Like Kapil Sharma, they are unable to digest and react to their stardom and react crazily. Magar’s dictate their own terms and they have their own law of the land within the perimeter of 360 Acers of their Kingdom.
Contd.....
No Doubt, what Magar’s have produced is a world class infrastructure, an integrated lush green, sparkling clean township with state of the art amenities, they are extremely possessive and have kept very orthodox and rigid terms for their users both office space and residential buyers.
ReplyDelete The security Dept. is controlled and governed by Magar’s and some of the loyal Security guards who wear Safari Suites, have been empowered so much that they can even invade China and free the DoKolam plateau!!! Moral policing of bachelors, women’s, maid servants, students with respect to ID, Access, entry and exit is a common scene on a daily basis. Magar’s security norms are inspired by Hollywood flick Mission impossible!!!! You will constantly have a feeling that you are residing in a residential colony of a Nuclear submarine manufacturer. Poor security guards, most of them are hired from 3rd Party security agencies get a net partly salary of 7-8 k PM and an amount of Rs 780 is deducted and kept with their employers which they claim is PF, which is never the fact rather it acts as a caution money. Mind you, the guards work on 12 Hours shift x 7 days x 365 days. So be sensitive to them at least no matter even if they act according to the whims and fancies of Magar’s.
One has to pay Rs 350 to get an Access card (per family member) for a period of 11 months with a deposit of Rs 1000 !!!!! Mind you it is year after year and not one time. Even the poor maid servants who wish to work in household of the “Pride of Pune” must obtain Access card by paying fees and they are subject to strict scrutiny everyday. The Cab drivers who wish to do business with top IT companies within the premises are supposed to register by paying 1000 and must also pay fees for getting Access card and sticker.
To install your own DTH, you need to take permission of PMS and pay a deposit of Rs. 1000 Wow. However, if you go for DTH empanelled by Magar’s its going to be easy but expensive.
The PMS (Property Management system) is an amazing office and Magar’s have been able to employ the most dedicated and trustful woman employees who eat, speak, breath and talk in Magar’s language. You will never feel you are talking to employees but the Magar’s themselves. Everything is computerised and tax paid bills, estimates etc are taken upfront. The women employees in dress code are strict, rarely smile, talk business and are tactful.
Now for the buyers who have brought properties, they own only the carpet area within their main door and rest all space is controlled and managed exclusively by the Magar’s. Your ownership and slice of “Pride of Pune” is limited within your own apartment only. Once you step out of your door, you enter Magar owned dynasty. Tenants, Vendors are 2nd Citizen at Magar’s abode and are usually treated shabbily as Magar’s don’t directly earn from them.
As if the crores worth of income what Magar’s are earning was not enough, they have outsourced Parking to vendors and make handsome money in Parking space as well. Not even a single inch of Magar’s land is free, even the Aditi Garden is open only for Citizens and outsiders who would wish to feel the “pride of Pune” are not allowed. Earlier the parking fee structure was simple with Rs.5 for 2 wheelers and Rs.10 for 4 Wheelers, however as the asset value and pride of Magar’s grew with time, they have now come up with time slots for parking and have almost doubled/Trebled the fees.
The newspaper vendor too has a unique Model to offer. He charges Rs. 300 as caution money and does not maintain any records. Since there is only 1 vendor authorised by Magar’s after charging fees from them as well, you have no choice.
ReplyDelete The housekeeping staff too works on enforcing the Supreme court directives of 2000 and can direct you to have the garbage segregated into wet and Dry and to put it much before stipulated time. Otherwise, take back the stinking garbage and wait till next day.
And yes within the 360 Acers township you do have one way roads as well, Amazing, isn’t it ? If you violate, then your vehicle will be towed away and a penalty will be imposed which will be purely at the discretion of the Magar’s.
The Destination Centre, which they brand it as a “Cool Place” is also 100% occupied and every vendor here has achieved their ROI and customer is never the king in these shops. Don’t argue, if you are interested, please buy or go away. No one questions the exuberant charges. That’s not the culture here. If you wanna bargain, go to Hadapsar Mandi nearby.
Magar’s do have a school of their own affiliated to Vidya Patishthan BARAMATI �� where they prefer admission only to the residents who have brought properties in their township, the administration too is closely monitored by Magar’s. The School principal is allegedly a dictator here and monitors the staff closely hence the teachers must fear and respect him.
Magar’s tried their hands on running a Management school, but Alas, a Business school initiated by Farmers did not run and the idea flopped, I believe this is the only failure they had. But Magar’s are way too smart to convert the adversities into opportunities as they rented the premises to VIBGYOR High and got back their ROI.
There are over 60 Pre Schools mushrooming inside the townships, in 2014 Magar’s suddenly realised that this is an area where people are making profits and they were not getting anything out of it, in a helter skelter, Satish, who owns a big influence on media (Also appears on page 3 quite often), published a paid article in Times of India raising concerns on illegal schools in residential premises citing threats to students !!!!! Thus he brought down over 60 vendors on their knees for not caring the interests of Magar’s. Wow. Subsequently, legal notices were served to each of the schools, and, as I am given to understand, that the matter was resolved after a royalty was promised back to Magar’s. That’s business Acumen ��. Three years down the lane, as of now all schools still exist, have flourished and few more have sprung and Magar’s concern for the safety of kids has vanished.
ReplyDelete Magar’s are so influential, that an incident of alike to Nirbhaya happened in their own Jasmanium where a female cook was R**** and M******* by a gang of 5 to 7 residents, but the news was put under the wraps with such a precision and no media or TV published it as otherwise it would have dented the “Pride of Pune”.
Even Gods needs to follow the Magar’s protocol as during the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav, only residents holding ID cards are allowed. At the Mahalakshmi temple next to Cosmos, you must highly disciplined bhakt otherwise you get lecture from Poojari Baba. Festivals like Holi and Diwali must be celebrated outside the societies, if you dare inside, the guards will shoo you away.
Like Magar’s, many real estate agents have become millionaires, thanks to the “Pride of Pune”, the DC has maximum number of posh Real estate agencies who manage office space, residential and PG so meticulously that their dashboard, hanging on the walls would put an IITan to shame.
The Magar’s get huge royalty on a regular basis on the resale of flats, ( Magar’s charge approx. 3,00,000 plus Service Tax which they call Enhanced Development fees) which reflects with the fact that each of the 120 Magars owns branded top notch cars, bikes more than one in number which can be seen parked in various societies, some farmers even maintain tractors inside the societies ��. Buffaloes ?? No No, I didn’t see any of them ��
The Magar’s own mall, the Seasons too is one of the most expensive malls and Magar’s leave no stones unturned to compete with Ammanora Mall, just opposite of the road. Often Magar’s invite Bollywood celebrities and big Ad’s are given in media which is their USP.
Come elections, and you will receive pamphlets delivered at your doorsteps appealing to vote for Tupe’s (NCP) as both Satish Dada and Nilesh Dada support NCP as it was Sharad Rao ji who approved their project when he was the CM of Maharashtra. Nilesh Dada is the blue eyed right hand to Satish Dada. It’s no joke or exaggeration as Nilesh Dada actually is a tall, handsome guy having bright and Blue shiny eyes ��
The “Pride of Pune” is so fascinating that various films and advertisements have been shot here which include the big names in Bollywood including superstar Rajanikanth. Jokes do a round that Magarpatta gained popularity only because Rajanikanth liked this place !!!!!
Now Magar’s are coming up with Five star hotel of their own, building neighbourhood by name Annex and replicating the Magarpatta story by means of Nanded City on Sinhgad road. Way to go lucky Sugarcane farmers, you indeed have given a great business model (aka mindset) to the world.
Inspired? and wish to move to “the pride of Pune” ?? Please be aware that there is no provision of service lifts and your luggage is not allowed in the passenger lifts.
All the very best !!!!!
