“You Stayed in It — So Stop Complaining”: How MahaRERA Let a Builder Off the Hook After 35 Months of Illegal Delay

MahaRERA ruled a buyer who accepted fitout possession 49 days late — with no OC — forfeited 35 months of delay interest. A devastating precedent.
In a key ruling, MahaRERA held that even when an Agreement for Sale is silent on the possession date, the builder must hand over the flat within a reasonable period of three years from the agreement date — failing which, interest is payable for the delay period. The order in the Mauli Omkar project case awarded interest from March 2019 to April 2023 to complainant Sabirali Tufhel Shaikh.
