RERA Orders Builders to Pay Interest for Delayed Possession in Pune and Mohali Cases
Two homebuyers in Pune and Mohali won rulings from their respective Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (MahaRERA and Punjab RERA) ordering builders to pay interest for delayed possession of flats. In Pune, MahaRERA rejected the builder's claim that government planning changes caused delays, citing prior approvals and holding the builder responsible. In Mohali, Punjab RERA dismissed the developer's argument that buyer payment delays caused possession issues, affirming the buyer's right to interest until possession is granted. Both rulings emphasize builder accountability for timely delivery.
