Consumer Commissions Order Builders to Deliver Flats or Refund Payments with Compensation
Consumer commissions in Punjab and Maharashtra have ordered builders and their legal heirs to either hand over possession of flats or refund payments with compensation due to significant delays. In Mohali, WWICS Estates Pvt Ltd was directed to refund Rs 44.62 lakh with interest or deliver the flat, citing lack of completion certificates and delayed possession since 2015. Similarly, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission held the heirs of a deceased builder liable for delays in a Pune redevelopment project, ordering possession within six weeks and compensation for buyers who paid substantial amounts years ago.
