Consumer Commissions Order Refunds for Homebuyers Over Incomplete Flats in Punjab
Consumer commissions in Punjab and Mohali have ordered refunds with interest to homebuyers due to incomplete or uninhabitable flats. The Jalandhar commission directed the Jalandhar Improvement Trust to refund nearly Rs 30 lakh to two allottees for lack of essential services and construction defects. Separately, the Mohali commission ordered a Zirakpur developer to refund Rs 41 lakh plus interest or hand over possession, citing project delays and deficient services. Both rulings included compensation for mental distress and rejected developers' objections.
