Builder Must Fix Leakage in Flat Even After Possession: MahaRERA Orders Rectification at Builder’s Cost

MahaRERA has ordered a Mumbai builder to fix leakage issues in a Dahisar flat even after possession. While car parking, solar system and compound wall demands were rejected, the Authority reinforced the 5-year defect liability clause, directing joint inspection and free repairs if the defect is construction-related.
In a fresh instance of MREAT overturning a MahaRERA order, the Tribunal ruled that buyers cannot be made to wait 19 years while the builder uses their money, directing full refund with interest from the original 2006-07 payment dates.

Tribunal Overturns MahaRERA Order: Builder Hit with 19-Year Interest from Day 1 on Duped NRIs

In a fresh instance of MREAT overturning a MahaRERA order, the Tribunal ruled that buyers cannot be made to wait 19 years while the builder uses their money, directing full refund with interest from the original 2006-07 payment dates.
The Rais booked a flat in 2013, paid ₹79 lakh, and were promised possession by December 2017. What followed was a developer collapse, a project takeover, a majority consent exercise they never agreed to — and a regulator that told them to cooperate. The tribunal disagreed.
