Expert: Homebuyer Can Still Seek Interest for Delay
A person bought a flat but the construction was slow.
They complained to the government, asking to stop payments and get their money back, but it was denied.
Later, they took the flat and asked for money for the delay.
The expert said they can try to get money for the delay.
The key is to clearly state what you want from the beginning and get help from a consumer group first.
A homebuyer filed complaints with MahaRERA, the RERA Appellate Tribunal, and now seeks further legal action.
The initial MahaRERA complaint was dismissed because the possession date hadn't passed.
A review petition for withdrawal and refund was also dismissed.
The homebuyer changed their claim from seeking a refund to claiming interest for delayed possession after taking possession.
An expert advises the homebuyer can file a fresh complaint for interest on the delay.
