GMADA Faces Disputes Over Additional Charges and Delayed Flat Possession in Mohali

The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) faces criticism over two issues: the recovery of additional prices from residential plot allottees in Sectors 76-80, where refunds are being issued with interest and penalty deductions despite earlier full payments, and a consumer panel ruling against GMADA for delaying possession and offering incomplete flats in the Purab Premium Apartments scheme in Sector 88. The consumer commission ordered GMADA to pay interest and compensation, and barred maintenance charges until project completion certificates are obtained.
