Builder ne mere flat ka possession dene mein delay kar diya hai. Mere kya rights hain?
Simple answer
RERA ke under aap choose kar sakte ho: project chhod kar interest ke saath paisa wapas (plus compensation), ya flat lena continue karo aur possession tak delay ke har mahine ka interest lo. State RERA authority mein complaint karo; consumer commission bhi option hai.
Real-life examples
Arjun ne 2019 mein Noida mein flat book kiya, possession 2022 mein dene ka promise tha. Flat ab bhi ready nahi hai aur use ab nahi chahiye. Woh UP RERA se interest ke saath refund maang sakta hai. Supreme Court ne is refund right ko unconditional bataya hai.
Pune ki Meenakshi ko apna flat ab bhi chahiye. Refund ki jagah woh possession milne tak delay ke har mahine ka interest maang sakti hai.
Tenzin ko 2024 mein flat mila, par ek saal mein deewaron mein cracks aa gaye. Possession ke 5 saal ke andar bataye gaye structural defect builder ko 30 din mein free theek karne honge, warna compensation dena hoga.
Aapko kya karna chahiye?
- 1Agreement for sale, allotment letter, payment receipts, bank statements aur builder ke saare letters ya emails collect karo.
- 2State RERA website par project ka RERA registration number aur promised completion date dekho.
- 3Builder ko email ya legal notice se likho ki aapko refund chahiye ya delay ka interest.
- 4State RERA portal par complaint file karo. Extra compensation ka claim uske adjudicating officer ke paas jaata hai.
- 5Ya iski jagah consumer commission mein case karo. Kaunsa forum sahi hai, lawyer se poochho, aur same claim dono jagah mat karo.
Exceptions aur zaroori baatein
- Kuch chhote projects RERA registration se exempt hain, aur RERA se pehle complete hue purane projects alag treat ho sakte hain. Tab consumer commission ya civil court ka raasta ho sakta hai.
- Agar aapne khud payments late kiye, toh builder aapse usi rate se interest le sakta hai jis rate se use delay ka interest dena hai.
