"While there is no provision for amenities like school, club house, swimming pool, badminton court, half basketball court, etc, in the approved layout plan submitted by the promoter at the time of registration, the same has been mentioned in the advertisement," said a RERA spokesperson said.

Under the provisions of Section 13(1) of the Act 2016, no promoter can accept a sum of more than 10 per cent of the cost of an apartment, plot, or building, but installments were demanded in advance, the statement said.
