Homebuyers Face Financial and Legal Challenges Due to Delayed Flat Possession
Homebuyers face financial challenges when builders delay flat possession, including continued EMI payments and difficulties obtaining full refunds. Builders typically refund only amounts paid to them, excluding statutory charges like GST and stamp duty, which require separate claims. Legal cases, such as those involving Gurgaon Greens buyers, highlight prolonged delays and costly litigation to claim compensation and interest. Courts have upheld buyers' rights to seek compensation even after possession, provided claims are filed within prescribed time limits, underscoring the complex process for delayed homebuyers.
