I wish someone had told me what was in store for me

I moved to Ashiana Utsav, Bhiwadi on 6th June, 2011. When I bought the flat, I was told many good things about Utsav - that I would get all types of facilities here. For e.g. I was told that I would get medical facility, home-delivery, golf cart for the distances I could not walk, etc. However I have not been able to avail of any of these facilities in Utsav. 

When I bought this flat, the representatives of Ashiana Housing Ltd. (AHL) spoke about everything in very sweet tones. But their promises came to nought. The quality of the building material used is not good and some cracks are visible. Two tiles of my bathroom have come off of their own accord. 

Most people who live here are pensioners and much above the age of 55 years. I am also one of them. But the maintenance bill is increasing every month. For e.g., the first maintenance bill that I paid after moving into Utsav was for June 2011, for an amount of Rs. 1000. My bill for the same one-bedroom flat for May 2012 is Rs. 1500 - up by 50 % within a space of one year ! And the trend of increasing bills seems set to continue. 

I feel that one day will come when all my savings will have to be handed over to the Ashiana builders and their maintenance agency Vatika Markting Ltd. (VML). Many of us have long-run illnesses and have to take a large no. of medicines. If so much money goes towards maintenance, how will we purchase medicines ?

Looking at my own experience, I wish someone had told me more frankly about what was in store for me. Likewise, those planning to purchase Ashiana properties should speak more at length with those already living here.

  1. This is an extremely painful process... they claim that it is for senior citizens but my parents can't stay there for a single month since the living conditions are poor and no-one cares... they claim that the medical facilty is strictly for the Utsav Residents and then they share it with all and sundry... then they say that it is economically unviable to keep it for the utsav residents... they put on electric road barriers all over the place and charge only the Utsavites... they are simply painful and they behave as they have u by the collar and u have no choice but to give in to their whims and fancies...
