In Nov’15, the Promoters sent letter to owners asking for balance 20% payment with interest & other charges (in fact many owners have already paid). UWA convinced the BNRI promoters to agree that no payment would be done without CC from KMC. [Saving: ApproxRs. 4 - 8 lacs/flat in Tower 1, 2, 6 and 7]
The promoters have reluctantly agreed that the interest chargeable on late payment (being applied from Nov’15 to CC date) would be waived off.
BNRI was insisting on Declaration from flat owners on Stamp paper during handover which was one sided and absolved them from any kind of future claims etc. UWA tried its best to have this required scrapped completely, however reluctantly when left with no options UWA has got the declaration revised and is to be provided on plain paper only.

Promoters were asking for PDC and declaration on stamp for the provisional possession for fit out. UWA now made them agree to accept declaration on plain paper and no PDC.
Promoters were asking for prior approval of interior drawing to start the interiors. UWA convinced them and now no more required.
False ceiling in maid room toilets is being done which was not being done earlier.
The rates for fit out for labours was absurdly high which at UWA request have been bought down to a very nominal amount [substantial saving of money]
The timing of fit out was 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. earlier which UWA made them agree to 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. on all 7 days [substantial saving of time & money as fit out can be completed much faster]
Promoters were not allowing to use Service lift for lifting of materials for fit outs. At UWA request now service lifts will carry all materials to respective floor (except big slabs of Marbles)
