Indian RERA Authorities Uphold Buyers' Rights in Property Possession Delay Cases
Three recent rulings by Indian Real Estate Regulatory Authorities highlight buyers' rights in delayed property possession cases. In Gurgaon, HARERA ordered Raheja Developers to refund Rs 50.5 lakh with interest after nearly nine years of stalled construction. Maharashtra's MahaREAT ruled that accepting delayed possession does not waive buyers' rights to interest claims. Punjab RERA directed Omaxe Developers to pay Rs 31 lakh interest for possession delays, rejecting the builder's extension and arbitration claims. These cases reinforce legal protections for homebuyers facing project delays.
