Indian RERAs Rule on Property Disputes Involving Refunds, Penalties, and Buyback Requests
Three recent rulings by Indian Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs) highlight disputes between homebuyers and developers. Haryana RERA ordered Raheja Developers to refund a Gurugram couple over a delayed commercial project. Telangana RERA penalized a builder for delivering a smaller villa than advertised, ordering a refund and penalty. Maharashtra RERA dismissed a homebuyer's plea for buyback over leakage and dampness issues, citing insufficient evidence for refund. These cases reflect ongoing challenges in property delivery and buyer protections under RERA.
