Review on Raunak Centrum, Sion, Mumbai

Please refer to all my past reviews on Mouth Shut regarding Project Raunak Centrum B Wing -

https://mouthshut.com/projects/raunak-centrum-sion-mumbai-reviews-926144673 As per the “Agreement of Sale” for 2 flats that I own at Raunak Centrum B-Wing the date of possession mentioned is December – 2024.

Part 1 of my review - Construction details may have been updated on the RERA website as of November-2024 which is as below:

1) Podiums(if any) - Completion Percentage 0%

2) Internal walls, Internal Plaster, Floorings, Floors and windows within Flats/Premises - Completion Percentage 60%

3) Sanitary Fittings within the flats / premises - Completion Percentage 0%

4) External plumbing and external plaster, elevation, completion of terraces with waterproofing of the building / wing - Completion Percentage 12%

5) Installation of Lifts, water pumps, Fire Fighting Fittings and Equipment as per CFO NOC, Electrical fittings, mechanical equipment, compliance to conditions of environment/CRZ NOC, Finishing to entrance lobby/s, plinth protection. paving of areas appurtenant to Building/Wing, Compound Wall and all other requirements as may be required to complete project as per specifications in agreement of Sale - Completion Percentage 12%

Part 2 of my review – With this one can see how slow is the work progressing.

1) External Plaster work: This was supposed to begin for B-Wing after Rains i.e. in the month of October 2024. Post May-2024 there is no work done externally. Why? Raunak Team has no answers to this question.

2) Internal Work: On Inquiry I am always informed that Internal Work is happening in full swing. But if you look at the information updated on RERA towards the work completion for Internal Work(Point 2, 3 and 5) the answer lies in front of everyone.

3) Podium: I am informed that Podium for A and B Wing is the same. Therefore, all manpower is deployed towards completing the Basement and Podium Work as car parking space needs to be created. Question to ask here is that both projects have different Rera Number. # P51800006705 for B Wing and # P51800033269 for A Wing.

• Is it legal to use complete manpower for completing this activity and avoiding other external work that is pending for the building?

  
  




• Funds collected for Raunak Centrum B-Wing, is it being used for some other project? Only Raunak Group can answer but questions are being avoided.

  
  

4) Section 18 of RERA primarily addresses the rights and remedies available to homebuyers when a promoter(real estate developer) fails to meet specific obligations, especially Delayed Possession and Compensation, Withdrawal Option & Interest for Delay: Is Raunak Group going to pay compensation for the delay in possession beyond December-2024. Yes, I will be approaching Rera in January-2025 seeking compensation.

5) Litigations on P51800006705 and P51800033269: While visiting the RERA Website, I noticed a set of lawsuits against Raunak Group. I have requested details of these but I am not sure if Raunak Group will reply as I do not want litigations affecting more delay in handing over the possession of my flats.

The project is super-duper delayed. We were informed at the time of booking that possession will be given in June-2024, it then became December-2024 and now verbally it has become June-2024 but in writing they quote RERA Date. When I approach Rera, who are here to protect the rights of flat buyers, I am sure they will do justice.

If there are any Flat Owners of Raunak Centrum A and B wing reading this, please write to me in inbox and I shall have you added to a WhatsApp group that we have created where the community of members is growing.

For new buyers, yes, I do get a lot of queries but I refrain from answering anyone and I do not want to get into the wrong. You can do your due diligence by reading all the reviews on Google and Mouth Shut – The real ones not the fake paid ones.
