NCDRC Orders Developers to Compensate Homebuyers for Long Delays in Flat Possession
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has ordered developers in Bengaluru and Mumbai to compensate homebuyers for long delays in flat possession. In Bengaluru, buyers who paid over Rs 1.15 crore waited more than 20 years, with the builder ordered to refund the amount plus interest and compensation. In Mumbai, a developer was directed to pay 6% simple interest on a flat booked in 1984 after possession was delayed by over 30 years. Both cases highlight prolonged project delays and legal relief for affected buyers.
