January 19, 2025 at 2:16 amWe have a 250 sq yd plot in Haryana and want to build stilt plus 4 floors on it. There is an empty plot on 1 side and a 3 floor plus basement on the other. The empty plot has already given us the NOC but the built side is asking for 4 Lakh (1 lakh for each floor) for us to get NOC from him.This is extortion, what can I do? And is this the new norm? Surely there is a legal route that I can take.

January 19, 2025 at 12:31 pmLiterally this is the step op needs to take, build a 3 floor building first then do fourth floor after year or two, in that way they might even not need to get noc, since that would probably be considered as modification to existing building. -

January 20, 2025 at 12:17 amOP will not do that. Because he is greedy and wants more rent from all 4 floors. He mentioned in earlier post that he assured the neighbour that any damage to neighbours building will be taken care by him during his drilling. But did he sign and give anything to the neighbour. This is where 1 greedy person met his matching alpha-
UUser_8c9489d8
OP
January 20, 2025 at 12:42 amI’m only writing this for your clarification. I’m only getting 2 floors. The other floors are going to the builder. I have also added a clause in my agreement with the builder that any damage that may happen during construction to the neighboruing building will be fixed to its original or at top most quality and have asked neighbours that I’m ready to sign or add a clause with NOC that if any damage happen via our own construction to their building it will be our responsibility to fix it. Since the neighbouring building is a flat, one of them has agreed, but the others are asking for 4 lakh. So, I’m not sure how I’m being greedy here? All I want is to have a fair system for all.

January 19, 2025 at 3:06 amIf you are going to build adjacent to his basement, he’s is simply asking for damages in advance.Talk to him what’s the reason, does he worry about something?
If it’s simple extortion, then try to talk him down to get to a mutual agreement. However I doubt after the payment, once you start work that he won’t create more problems.

UUser_8c9489d8
OP
January 19, 2025 at 3:16 amWe have already reassured that we want to use our own wall and don’t want any wall share. Plus any damage that may happen to their building during the construction of our own building will be fixed by our builder at his own cost.This is just simple extortion and he said he wants 4 lakh if we want NOC.

January 19, 2025 at 3:18 amYup that’s extortion.I don’t know about this law, your best bet is to contact a local lawyer, must’ve dealt with similar case.
I’d think settling is the quickest here, maybe he’ll accept 2L

January 19, 2025 at 6:13 pmAre you talking about OP or the guy who is asking for money?I can tell you man, all shit happens. We sold a house, the purchaser only paid the initial amount (bayana) and the contract was that he’ll pay the rest in 6 months and complete the purchase.
We couldn’t rent the property, nor sell it to anyone else. It was clearly in contact that the initial amount will be lost if he doesn’t pay up. He didn’t, we talked to him if he still wanted it, waited on him for 2 years and finally he said, sorry.
We also said sorry, when he asked for the amount back.
Circle back around after 8 years, my dad who made the deal passed away, that property was sold to someone else. These guys put a case on us, that has absolutely no merit, but now we are in a legal battle. Yup, it happens only in India, case has been going on for 6 years now.

January 19, 2025 at 6:25 pmOf course, I am talking about OP’s neighbours. Absolutely pathetic system that you guys have been fighting for years despite providing clear agreements, and documents. So much loss of money and time importantly peace. Hope your case will resolve soon.-

January 19, 2025 at 6:45 pmOf course if someone is this cheap then I’d want to include that payment on some legal paper to assure that they don’t ask for anything more in future, atleast try to include it.I agree, cheap ppl have no boundaries, they’ll do everything to show their true nature.

OP
January 19, 2025 at 7:17 amNo, because the rule wasn’t implemented then, and as far as I know, you only need NOC for stilt plus 4 floor. Unfortunately, it is our requirement to have that.-

January 19, 2025 at 6:02 amI have no idea why on earth there is a law like this. This will just turn into an extortion business for many people. And genuine people will suffer the most because of it-

January 19, 2025 at 6:09 amRight, what if we have long lasting hatred with neighbour considering thier behaviour not to settle the things for anything.I suggest you to reach good local lawyer and get the things done, I’m pretty sure that neighbour will create nuisance even a small brick peice falls in his compound during construction.

Secondly also check if this condition applies only to part property or an independent property as well

UUser_794f8ea6
PARTICIPANT
January 19, 2025 at 7:22 amwhile this is pure extortion but i do think 4L is not too much money considering you get to build 4 floors. this is considering youโre in a prime/semi-prime neighbourhood of gurgaon. a 250 sq yard floor would run around 3.5 ish crores each. so considering the fact that youโre talking about 14 crores at stake here, my advice to you would be to swallow the pill and avoid taking any legal routes. 4L is nothing in front of 14 crores.-
UUser_8c9489d8
OP
January 19, 2025 at 7:27 amI understand that, but the way our deal is structured in a way with a builder that we are not getting anything close to the 14cr. We will only be getting 2 floors while the builder will get another 2.-
UUser_794f8ea6
PARTICIPANT
January 19, 2025 at 7:34 amyou should worry more about the ripoff deal with the builder than the 4 lacs for the NOC. do you really think it costs 7 crores to build a 250 yard building? the last i remember it costs around 4-5 crores to build a lavish 4 x 500 square yard building.-
UUser_8c9489d8
OP
January 19, 2025 at 8:02 amI do understand your concern, but with the current rate in our area this deal does seem okay to us. The first problem on our hand is this neighbouring plot trying to extortion this amount from us-

January 19, 2025 at 11:16 amitโs about picking your battles mate. not sure why youโre okay about the builder ripping you off. if the psy rate in your locality is 3L/yard, the plot alone costs 7.5 cr. if you still want a place to live, you can easily buy a 500 yard floor between 6-7 cr. iโm not understanding your reasoning. anyways with that in mind, as i said pick your battles. the whole building will take 12-15 months to build. your neighbours can create unnecessary chaos for you if theyโre pissed enough. donโt let it get to an ego struggle. be smarter.-
UUser_8c9489d8
OP
January 19, 2025 at 3:39 pmThe plot is worth about 3.5 cr. Hence, I’m okay with the deal I have with the current builder. At the end of the day of course the builder would also make some money.c

January 19, 2025 at 7:39 amJust get it in writing that youโll not be liable for damages after the payment. Even otherwise, if some damage (seepage) occurs in his building during your construction, itโll easily cost you 4L in repairs.-
UUser_8c9489d8
OP
January 19, 2025 at 7:59 amHaha I wish it was that easy. First, he wants this money just for the NOC certificate. Second, there is a very low chance of this happening since we want a separate wall for our building.-

UUser_13dd93c9
PARTICIPANT
January 19, 2025 at 12:08 pmI mean tbh you should just start your construction if You have clear title to the land and have registered the building plan with the relevant authority after paying req duties and all.
In case the neighbour tries to take a stay order from court, youโll have a pretty decent case in your favor.-

January 19, 2025 at 11:30 pmWe can’t get the building plan passed until we have the NOC.-
