MahaRERA Orders Kolte-Patil Developers to Pay Interest for Delayed Possession in Vile Parle Redevelopment Project

MahaRERA has partly allowed a complaint by Manohar Shetty and Lalita M. Shetty against Kolte-Patil Developers, ordering payment of interest at SBI’s highest MCLR + 2% for the delay in handing over possession of a flat in the Jai Vijay redevelopment project from October 2019 to March 2020. The ruling underscores that contractual possession dates bind promoters despite project extensions or external delays.
In a key ruling, the Maharashtra Co-operative Appellate Court has held that past members of housing societies can directly sue for refund of amounts paid under disputed NOC conditions without needing permission from current flat owners. The court dismissed the society’s challenge to jurisdiction, clarifying that such disputes arising during membership fall squarely under Section 91 of the MCS Act.
