Indian Real Estate Authorities Uphold Buyer Rights in Delay and Refund Cases
Several Real Estate Regulatory Authorities across India have ruled in favor of homebuyers in cases involving delayed possession and refund disputes. In Gurgaon, a couple was ordered a refund with interest after nearly nine years of waiting for an incomplete commercial unit. Maharashtra's tribunal upheld buyers' rights to delay interest even after possession acceptance and ruled against builders imposing refund conditions or shifting stamp duty costs to buyers. Punjab RERA directed a developer to pay interest for delayed possession, rejecting pandemic-related extension claims. These rulings reinforce buyer protections under RERA.
