Section 13: Responsibility for payment of outgoings till property is transferred.

A promoter, while he is in possession and where he collects from persons, who have taken over flats or are to take over flats, sums for the payment of outgoings, shall pay all outgoings, including ground rent, municipal or other local taxes, taxes on income, water charges, electricity charges, revenue assessment, interest on any mortgage or other encumbrances, if any, until he transfers the property to the persons taking over the flats, or to the organization of any such persons. Where any promoter fails to pay all or any of the outgoings collected by him from the persons who have taken over flats or are to take over flats, before transferring the property to the persons taking over the flats or to the organization of any such persons, the promoter shall continue to be liable, even after the transfer of the property, to pay such outgoings and penal charges, if any, to the authority or person to whom they are payable and shall be responsible for any legal proceedings which may be initiated by such authority or person.
