Consumer Panels Order Refunds for Incomplete and Substandard Interior Renovations
Consumer commissions in Mumbai and Visakhapatnam have ordered interior design firms to refund clients due to incomplete, delayed, and substandard renovation work. In Mumbai, Livspace India was directed to pay over Rs 71 lakh after safety hazards and poor workmanship, including a kitchen shutter falling on a resident's wife, were reported. In Visakhapatnam, a firm was ordered to refund Rs 34 lakh after failing to complete villa renovations and delivering low-quality work despite receiving advance payments. Both cases highlight negligence and deficiency in service.
