ERAmantra!!

Here's a little journey as to how corrupt rule and how Innocent customers of our great mother land are cheated in the name of selling, the dream of a shelter under which they will be secure and protected from the vagaries of the outside world. Instead from the time they are sold the same their problems take birth and the protective cover is stolen from over their heads. See how, the Company called ERA through its Realtors starts selling to people, flats in SECTOR-86, GURGAON, for which, how much land the company has got the customers are not even aware till 2012. Its not that at the time of booking the Realtors did not boast about the Acreage of the project, but nothing was put forth in black n white before the customers...so it begins with paying the BOOKING AMOUNT on the assurance that within few months the Company will start construction and allot the apartments and till that time the customer is not suppose to pay any single paisa to the company. The Customer waits patiently for the allotment to happen...and when time keeps passing away without anyone of the commitment being met, the Customer starts to go to the builder ( where he is fed one story) than to the Realtor (who plants another one) and when stories do not add to any progress the Customer starts using the technological innovation of posting queries on net to form a group of people who have invested in the same project and are going through same pain and nervousness. all this process takes time and the real eruptions happen when one of the members goes to the project site and comes back to inform all....

Visited the area yesterday. Developments are quite encouraging. Could not go to specific area since broker who was wid me said that land of era is not clear as yet. That is why it is Still so cheap. Overall development is good in terms of roads, open areas etc

THE LAND IS NOT CLEAR....after almost 1.5 years of paying to the company, knowing fully well that the company has clearly said that all clearances have been taken, Now I GET TO KNOW this..what does this mean..what happens to my house now...what happens to the money I have paid...after 1.5 years now where will I find another apartment....the rates have gone up, how will I afford house somewhere else????????

"Land is not clear as yet"? Do this mean that land is disputed? i checked
with Era few times and they told me that there is no issues with land. 

immediately there is relief, a customer from the group has checked that the land is with the company...But than why is there so much of delay, why does the company not allot, why does the company not start construction, why does the company on its website still SAYING LAUNCHING SOON...SEC-86, when the fact is that it has already been sold...why there is so much of misinformation?????????

I too had a word with Nidhi/Shivani from ERA in this regard. They are just company executives speaking theoretical things. Nobody had idea why Ansals put flag on their land & even they dont know where the land is. They just said come to office and we will show you LOI of this land. Asked them to give me no. of Vikrant Gupta but nobody did, neither he was available on his ext. Some says that land is of 11-15 acres, other says 22 acres. Some says its Group housing, other says township. Era Executives themselves not clear about anything. i checked license info for sector-86, on http://tcpharyana.gov.in/  , it did not show for ERA but it has name of ansal. 

Now the Dormant customer group has become hyper active; everyone is writing what they have got to share, HOW DID ANSAL come into picture, instead of any clarity now more confusion reigns; IF ERA has LOI and other clearances why is it not starting construction, what is the size of the township????

Hello Group
I tried reaching them since last three days & had difficulty to get connected to Vikranth.Yesterday & before that  i was able to speak to different people there(Akanksha,Nidhi & someone else) & everytime I got different answers which were not justified at all. I took phone no. of Nidhi(7428663301) & she promised to revert back to me on this which never happened, Today again when I called on this no. it is switched off. Finally after lot of efforts I got sucess & could speak to Vikrant, he explained me that some of land has been sold to Ansal & that land is only covered by them where as if you travel some more distance ERA boards has covered their site.But to see this someone has to go by walk as roads are not built there yet & only walking is only option to reach there.(Mr. Sarvapreet could put some highlight on this as he recently visited there, otherwise some else can go there & see if this is true or not). Moreover Vikrant told me that Licence is not issued in ERA's Name & if someone could visit noida office then he is ready to show license documents in some other company name.Since I no more live in India so I would request someone to go & meet Vikrant to see if they have valid license papers. Their Marketing guy name is Sahid(7428302614) who never picks his call may put some highlight so please keep trying to check our luck. Vikrant also told me this project is going on slow pace & will take 4~5 months to launch.

 see how the company and its staff is trying to divert the attention of the customer and how they all are giving varied answers, only after being chased down. No one wants to share the numbers of their seniors in the builders office( Cause of reasons that can be best understood by ERA CULTURE ALONE). Finally VIkrant Gupta, tells that the builder has sold part of the land to ANSAL...BUT WHY and HOW COULD THEY SELL first to me and than sell what was sold once to me to another person/entity without informing me and taking my consent for the same? WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS THIS? IF VIKRANT Knows under which name has the builder acquired the LICENCE than why is he not sharing the name of that company, Why does he wants the customer to come all the way from his house to know the name of the company in whose name the license is ??? More over he can scan the LICENCE document and other relevant documents and mail it to the customer..CAN HE NOT???? WHAT is GOing ON!!???

Hello Guys , We should appreciate Sachin Dua for spending his valuable time to Visit ERA & getting this Information. Sachin, Unfortunately this is made up story by ERA Group GM, to validate this statement I did made a call to one of my Uncle in India who is very Senior Govt. of India official in New Delhi & he provided me Sector -86 Ansal Project In charge phone No. I called Ansal project In charge to find out whether they are coming under collaboration in sector 86 or there is something else cooking up, He provided me following Information.
a) They are coming in collaboration with Samyak & definitely not with ERA.
b) Ansal's License is applied with Samyak & pending for approval with DTCP.
c) ERA has sold their land to Samyak who is coming in collaboration with Ansal.
Another reason explained by that GM is really funny that their License for sector 86 got rejected because Haryana govt. has allotted license to them for other projects.With same reason how come DLF,Ansal, BPTP & various other builders are building their so many townships. Their is something fishy & questioning again and again safety of our money.I would request to everyone who so ever is in India should come together & meet ERA folks to conclude some thing productive.

See how stories have been planted and customers being taken for a classic ride. Simply amazing how ERA can do this repeatedly, project after project; DUPE PEOPLE OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY. now there was collaboration happening which thankfully got sorted out courtesy call to ANSAL. BEst was that Haryana Govt is not allowing ERA to get licence as it has applied for so many..MAYBE THE REAL REASON IS SOMETHING ELSE; WHY DOESN'T VIKRANT TELL THAT...??? 

Hi Sarapreet,

I along with a friend of mine visited they Noida office on Saturday and we repeatedlly asked for proper documents but they were not very keen in showing that. Finally they told the person is on leave today and will come to office on Monday. I am trying to reach that person from morning but he is not yet available. There is something fishy with this project and we need to know what's wrong with this. Sarvapreet, is the person same Vikrant Singh who is head of sale/marketing of Era Landmarks? Do you his mail id so that we can reach hime over mail and get something in written that everything is properly put in place. 

Maybe that is why VIKRANT was in favour of customers coming to the office...had he got anything to show he would have mailed it to the person who were inquiring about it, but if he does that wouldn't the customers know what ERA has got and how ERA lied about the whole acreage of the society, how the customers were first made to believe that the Township would be 22 acres and now how can he show papers that ERA never had the Licence for 22 acres or more...wouldn't the customer know the precise date on which ERA got the licence from DTCP ..wouldn't all this reveal the truth which ERA still wants to hold dear and close to its chest so that it can launch another phase in the same township to another set of unknowing customers??

Hello Group, I had a word with Vikrant Gupta today & he confirmed that he has License copy now with him. Sandeep  visited ERA office in afternoon & was able to see the copy of license which is in name of "Resolve Estate Pvt Ltd" , area of 12.84 Acres & group housing project. I have also checked the licenseinfo published on http://tcpharyana.gov.in/ & it matches the records. Please share your PoV that is it normal practice followed by builders taking licenses on the name of any subsidary or sister concerncompany? Did anybody heard about this company ? I tried to find licenses issued on ERA group in tcpharayana website & found that there is only one license in sector-68, gurgaon. Rest all licenses areof projects in Palwal/Sirsa. Except this, ERA has project in sector-103 gurgaon & 2-3 projects in FBD, so all on different names? 

Finally after lot of hurdles created by the management and all sort of stories, one of the group members finally gets to see the elusive License Document..which is for only 12.84 acres, Hence it could be easily understood why Era was not interested in sharing this with the Customers?? Secondly if you have noticed that this Licence is in the name of a subsidiary company that by ERA's own admission ceased to exist?? Thirdly as Era has the license than why is its own WEBSITE saying that SECTOR-86 LAUNCHING SOON.??? Fourthly why is the company not allotting units and starting construction and making customers wait endlessly??? Fifth; Has ERA GOT LAYOUT PLANS APPROVED??? 

Yes its true that Era has in Gugaon only one licence in its name (rest are all subsidiaries) that is in sec-68, Gurgaon...licence No 177, granted on 11/10/2008...for a group housing complex of 10.69 acres. The License issued by DTCP is valid only for 2 years after which it needs renewal, we do not know if ERA has renewed license for sec-68....it has been 4 years now and construction is just starting, why? Also customers of Sec-68 were told that the township would be of more than 50 acres, where has all that land disappeared now???

Hope the customers of ERA sec-86 Gugaon, do not have to wait for 4 years for construction to start, like all other projects of ERa. The Fact is that ERa has not completed construction of flats sold to customers in Faridabad even after 6 years (Might take another year to complete) and as fate would have it; these flats are neither in the sector promised to customers nor is the specification same as was shown and promised at the time of booking of apartments, but the poor customer can not go anywhere as he got aware of the problems only after 3 or 4 years had elapsed and by then he was stranded with no other option available to him for the same price range any more. 

Therefore the ERAMANTRA is simple, cheat, cheat & cheat the customer at each and every stage. DO not divulge facts that the customer should know before entering into agreement of any sort and to misinform and misguide the customer by vague and crazy stories, which result in burning huge holes in the pocket of the customer. Beware Of the ERAmantra.

More Complaints ERA LANDMARKS (India) LTD

This is Mr Moheria's complaint on REF:-
Hi 
I Have also invested in era. It is nothing more than a group of fraudasters. The staff posted at their Head office Noida is well trained in making fools.
This project is niether approved by HUDA nor any bankers. Do not beleive them .they are laundering our money. Further wait is the wastage of time . Let us cometogether and ask them to refund the money with interest or move to consumer court


Jaspal Singh writes in Jan 2012 on REF:-
dear, i am facing the same problem with this company. i have booked a flat in this project in 2009 and they were supposed to give possation in 24 months. I recieved the agreement copy after 3-4 months. i signed the copy and return back but never got it back after signing from company side. afer visiting the site i come to know that they even have not started my flat wheras other flats are being constructed. i contacted their office about delay and the agreement. they told me that we have kept the raw materiel in area where your block was supposed to be contructed and it will start soon and send a fresh agreement copy in 2011, whose terms and conditions are entirely different from earlier agreement, i have signed. this company is cheating on me by sending me New buyers agreement, with new conditions. I did'nt kept photocopy of earlier agreement. can you provide me with photocopy of Buyers agreement. my contact no. is 9810117566 and email isjaspal@rehalenterprises.com

Above are again some samples that would make you sit erect and ponder on how these builders cheat common man. Who has been dreaming of owning a house and how these Unscrupulous developers lure customers with false promises that are never documented. So its basically your words against a Con-team that has cleverly worded agreement clauses that favour and protect the interest of the Unscrupulous Developer.

Mr Moheria is right that the project that Era has sold was not sanctioned by DTCP...and was sold and the construction still goes on....beyond the term agreed by Developer in writing.....yet no flat is complete, the Developer still does not have the sanction plan in its name...and as you can see EVEN The Agreement dates have been altered by the Company ( Read Mr. Jaspal's Complaint)

A fine example of this type of cheating has been done by Era with REDWOOD RESIDENCY Customers as well. At the time of initial launch  and acceptance of Booking amounts...Era had shown land in sector-88 of Neherpar, Faridabad....the boundary wall was created by GI Sheets....sales staff was deputed, construction team with men and machinery was deployed ...the sales staff categorically said that construction work would start in a months time and the rates would be revised as well....but the fact is that later almost after an year Era changed the sector in which they were going to construct the apartments...from sector-88 to sector-78 ....but as the customer had not been given any document which said the project would come up in sector-88...there was nothing as customer could do....would request everyone to be really cautious from the day of purchase, get everything documented....if the sales manager can not give in writing that means it should not be believed....As it is our hard earned money...we should take maximum care in not investing with bogus builders who only aim to cheat the customer.

ERAsed Cust-Mar's Plight

Go through this as slowly as you can, cause each word that forms a sentence is writ with pain n suffering of those that have been ERAsed by ERA Landmarks. These Customers have been lured by the unscrupulous developer to believe in the difference...and since have seen the Different methods employed n engaged by ERA to dupe the beleaguered Customers off their lives savings.


This Is from Amit2222 on Indian Real Estate Forum:-
Era Landmarks have launched many projects in Sirsa and Faridabad and elsewhere. But have not delivered any project till date. The price heard for their project is also higher than the current projects in Sec 68 and near abouts.

The soon to be launched project is actually a relaunch of a failed project of this year. Kindly share your thoughts whether this project will actually take off or will the Era Group will just milk the investors for money.

This is what Vicky has to say on IREF:-
Dont touch it !!

I invested in their Faridabad project during 2006 period of the last boom.


1. Location changed- in fact they changed the sector itself
2. The HUDA road "suddenly" appreared in the middle of the "approved" plot dividing it into 2 parts
3. The green area shown in map suddenly became future project/ others land !

Here is what Mr Puh has to say on I complaints:-
Cheating by Era Group : Attention New Buyers

Dear Sir,

I with many other people booked flats (flat no. was also allotted) in a Project called Era Divine Court at Sector -76, Faridabad, Haryana. The project was launched by a company Era Landmarks Ltd. ( Era Infrastructure Ltd.). The project was a pre-launch and layout plan/map was not approved but license was obtained by them. Map approval is still awaited after expiry of eights months. There was provision of 820 flats in the said plot. We bought flats keeping in view the area /layout shown in their brochure which has some green area/open area also. Their project was almost sold out. Now after so many days we have come know that they constructing 44 more flats in the green area/ open area, without increasing the total area of the plot, thus decreasing the open area (the same has been confirmed by the company). We are also told by the company that they are constructing one creche (child nursery) and a religious building at the other proposed green site leaving no green area to 180 yard flats. For such a big community only one open area would be there, in front of 250 yard flats that too, with water tanks.

We have bought flats keeping in view the green area/open area and as they are constructing flats in these areas, we feel cheated and violated. At the same time, we feel that this would make society more congested and shabby as they are giving no area for recreational activity.

On inquiry they are saying they well within their rights to construct those flats as they do not have charged any PLC for green area/open area and these are only minor changes and as per agreement (which was signed between us in Sept. 2009), this can be done.

But we can not buy this argument, as construction of 44 flats and encroachment on other areas for constructing other things are not a minor change and we feel cheated coz they first sold us flats showing green/open area and now they are constructing flats and other buildings on them.

By selling new flats, which are supposed to come in the green area, new buyers money can be at risk. They are cheating new buyers also and making false promises. Their website is also giving wrong information about this. We are tying to deal with them, failing to that we would approach consumer court. This is giving company a very bad name which has good reputation.

This is for your information and suggestion please.

Above are just a few examples of what the CUSTOMERS Plight has been by BELIEVING IN THE DIFFERENCE ... The Sector that was shown where the Township was to come has been changed, Roads appear to make the township dis-integrated, Green Park disappears to Future expansion or new towers or flats, Flats n plots are cancelled for asking legitimate questions, ...Common area is sold to new buyers, The Methods have to be understood to be believed...

ERAsed for ever

What happens when you buy a house in a project of the company that wants to cheat you...yes, you are right..you are ERAsed. Especially when all your decisions of future life are based on this one cliffhanger, which was specially conceived to make believe a dream world which was never going to be constructed. What were shown were only promises..empty and false, only to lure you into making a blunder of your life, for which your dear ones would each day laugh, draw caricature of your foresight, cajole at your endeavoring free spirit, ridicule at your wisdom to judge an important decision as this vs that of the great uncle who not only bought a beautiful house but also how it's capital value appreciated in an year to beyond what we can never imagine and life of bliss they are leading now.
The insult does not end here, each time you will call the customer care dept of the company to raise your query (Cause of all the happy things that you have had to face since buying into this project) they will not only be rude, they will make it a point to rub you at the wrong end so hard that you will never wish to call them again. The disdain with which they will open the conversation would help in understanding the direction it would end if you pursued the matter more vigorously, so to save your self from the abusive language you would  agree in disagreement to end the onslaught.
With each passing month, months and years your apprehension, fear, uncertainty will scale new heights but the construction would not keep pace, instead as all monies have been pocketed in first few installments now the work on site would remain stalled for reason best known to the builder. Its not that you do not know the reason, but you will not chose to listen to it as your best interest is not to listen to logic now...cause as already the possession date has been over run by a couple of years, your payment is almost fully gone to the builder and it would not be possible now for you to buy anything in that area or anywhere at the price at which you booked five or six years back..plus you do not like to be ERAsed...there is hope against hope that now, this year you would at least get the structure ready and if god forbid, the builder does not complete the project you will  be in a position to get it completed by yourself and start to stay in it.
This Logic would also get a jolt or two when you find out that the builder has converted the Common area that was once sold to you and others( Six Years Back) has been now converted into a Residential tower...it has been sold ...and this new towers construction is well ahead of any other tower in the project..and these new customers might get Possession before any one else...So more anxiousness but somewhere relief that if the builder completes the New Tower then he will have enough money to complete ours as well.
The second Jolt can come in many uncertain ways..either in form of increased cost of the apartment which is far from complete...This is result of property appreciation ...the builder will not let you enjoy the cheery n the pie ...cherry will always be his...so your options would be again to weigh carefully, calculate and pay an increased cost on the PROMISE of getting possession within a couple of month.......by this time not only your pocket..but your Heart has also had had enough and would be in no position to take another salvo from the Builder,So like a tamed Pigeon the customer will abide by Builders Diktat.
That is the journey of any Home-buyer in NCR...from a proud home buyer to an ERA(sed) Common Man!? When will the guilty get punished? No HOpe with Govt Flip-flopping on policy issues...Really sad for Indians.

ERa landmarks 103 gurgaon project..what experts say

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8hWlxQaaQ4

Dear Friends,
sec-103 gurgaon is a project sold to public in 2010 and in sept'2011 this interview is telecasted  where the property guru is responding to the project on direct question of a prospective customer. Please see how the expert/guru does not even know that the builder is not showing his project as a residential project that is for sale, as the website in 2012 is saying 103...cosmos city to be launched soon...meaning it is not launched yet...and as we all know PRE-LAUNCH is banned in Haryana.
Though the expert talks about taking into consideration the titles of the land...which era might have...but builders do not show it so easily....more than the title the project should be licensed by the DTCP, for the builder to be able to sell it to the public...but clearly our dear builder has not got the license till date or else it would have started allotting the flats too....yes, sir like it did with flats in REDWOOD RESIDENCY and DIVINE COURT..( the places where the expert is asking people to check before investing...in Faridabad).Era did not even have the lay-out plan sanctioned by DTCP...meaning no plan was approved yet the builder confidently allotted flats to builders in towers as per first come-first serve...knowing well that the clauses in the agreement that say the flat is tentative and the builder can change the allotment of the flat due to changes or directions of DTCP, would be helpful enough to save its hide.
This demonstrates clearly the strategy used by Era to sell projects to public at large without first getting approvals, once the project is sold than it starts the process of getting license etc with money from customers at each stage. Therefore not only be sure of the title of the project but also check various necessary approvals  have been obtained by ERa or not.
