Developer’s Accounts Frozen for Failure to Pay Allottees, Tribunal Rejects Plea to Unfreeze
A Mumbai-based real estate developer, Altaa Construction, has had its plea to unfreeze bank accounts rejected by the Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal. The accounts were frozen by authorities due to the developer’s continuous failure to comply with orders dating back to 2020, which mandated the payment of Rs. 71 lakh in interest to allottees. The Tribunal cited a “dilatory strategy with malafide intentions” on the part of the developer, noting the allottees’ five-year struggle to recover their dues.
