Approach MCHI before going to court
Taking over as the new president of MCHI (Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry), Paras Gundecha has stressed the need for an image makeover for the entire developer community and remarked that a code of conduct would go a long way in earning goodwill for the fraternity from all quarters.
“The new committee would be keen to ensure that an aggrieved customer comes to MCHI before knocking on the doors of courts. For this, a grievance redressal system would be put into practice,” Gundecha said. MCHI would also work towards increased interaction with the government to resolve all issues impacting the real estate industry and for stepping up contacts with various associations from different sectors for improved communication – and clout – across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
While outgoing president Sunil Mantri has formally handed over the charge to Gundecha, Boman Irani of Rustomjee Group will be the new honorary secretary. Taking the grievance redressal mechanism forward, Irani said that the housing body will roll the process by calling for suggestions from both, the members as well as customers.
Irani referred to the recent statement by Lalit Kumar Jain, national president of CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India), who said that the developer community was doing more good work for the society than any other industry, but unfortunately, this aspect is going largely unnoticed.
The new committee’s focus is on bringing in clarity and transparency, besides facilitating creation of truly affordable homes. The agenda for the committee includes issues like homes-for-all, rental and affordable housing schemes, slum redevelopment, ULC reforms, single window clearances, stamp duty on the basis of carpet area, norms for high rise buildings and townships and environment related matters.
