The Financial Frauds Victims Welfare Association (FFVWA) has filed a petition with the Inspector General Registration, in Pune, against a circular dated March 30, 2017, which states that individuals who have gone in for redevelopment with their housing societies have to pay stamp duty (5-6 percent  of current value of flat) individually, too, to register their agreements.

A large number of affected residents from Andheri West, who are unable to move into their homes because of this, are set to protest before the family court in BKC, today. The circular states that payment made by Housing Societies through representatives on the committee at the time of the Development Agreement is unacceptable. It says that without paying stamp duty on cost of construction, they will not get their individual agreements registered.
