Gurgaon couple wins refund after nine-year wait for stalled shop
Rohit Singh and Garima Sachan paid most of the money for a shop in Gurgaon.
They bought the shop in a project called Raheja Trinity.
The builder promised to finish it by January 2024.
When the couple visited later, the site was still largely unfinished.
They complained to the real estate regulator.
The regulator said buyers could leave a stalled project and get their money back.
It ordered the builder to return about Rs 50.5 lakh with interest.
The couple said they will feel relieved only after receiving the money.
Rohit Singh and Garima Sachan booked a shop in Raheja Trinity in September 2017.
They paid Rs 50,49,890 toward a 578.99-square-foot commercial unit.
The builder promised possession by January 15, 2024, but construction remained incomplete.
The Gurgaon bench of the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority ordered a full refund with 10.80% annual interest.
The authority struck off Raheja Developers’ defence after it failed to file written replies across six hearings.
