Consumer Commissions Rule on Delayed Possession and Additional Charges in Homebuyer Disputes
Two separate consumer commission rulings addressed disputes between homebuyers and builders over delayed possession and additional charges. In Patna, Mr. Anwar paid Rs 15 lakh for a flat priced at Rs 10.41 lakh but was later asked for Rs 20 lakh more; after litigation, he won a refund with interest. In Mohali, Janta Land Promoters were ordered to pay interest on Rs 42 lakh for delayed possession without required certificates, provide promised amenities, and compensate the buyer for defects and harassment.
