Possession Delayed - Date of Possession not mentioned in writing. What is the RERA rule for this?
Q: If the builder has not mentioned the date of possession in written on allotment letter or on agreement then what is the clause or RERA rule to protect the rights of the flat buyer? Is there a compulsory defined period that is taken in consideration in RERA if the date of possession is not mentioned in writing? I have booked a 1BHK flat in August 2010 and the builder committed verbaly that the possession will be given in Dec 2013. It is still pending. This property is located in Mira Road, Mumbai.
As the RERA has come into force from May 2017. So, your property will be considered an old one and you can complain to MAHARERA Authority about your project and delay. I am sure, your state RERA authority will force the builder to complete the project and pay the compensation.
Yes, in case the builder defaults and delays the possession of the property as per the 'agreement of sale', the buyer has the right to claim the refund of the amount paid along with interest. Even in the case, the promoter's registration is canceled, the buyer will have the right to a refund.
