The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal has dismissed Neelkanth Infracon LLP’s appeal and upheld MahaRERA’s order mandating interest payments to homebuyers for delayed possession of flats in the “Neelkanth Kingdom” project.
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.
