Consumer Commission Orders Builders to Pay Interest and Compensation for Delayed Certified Possession
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed two real estate developers in Mohali and Zirakpur to pay 9% annual interest on delayed possession amounts until they obtain required occupation and completion certificates. The commission ordered compensation of Rs 75,000 for mental agony and litigation expenses to affected buyers. Both cases involved possession handed over without certificates and alleged deficiencies, including unprovided amenities and disputed parking spaces. The commission emphasized possession is valid only after certificates are issued and mandated rectifications within specified timelines.
