Courts Uphold Homebuyers' Rights to Interest on Delayed Possession in India
The Allahabad High Court ruled that homebuyers retain the right to claim interest for delayed possession even after accepting the flat, rejecting a developer's claim that external restrictions caused the delay. Separately, Punjab RERA restored a Zirakpur buyer's flat after a developer canceled it and ordered the builder to pay interest for delayed possession, citing lack of completion certificates and invalid possession offers. Both cases emphasize buyers' rights to compensation for delays and proper documentation before possession.
