Builder Couldn’t Pay ₹2,000 Cost, MahaRERA Orders ₹25 Lakh+ Refund to Homebuyer

In a telling case, MahaRERA ordered SSK Realtors to refund over ₹25 lakh plus interest after the builder failed to pay even ₹2,000 cost imposed for setting aside an ex-parte order. The homebuyer had booked two flats in the delayed “Tulsi Darshan” project in 2015; the project remains incomplete even in 2026.
In a ruling that clarifies the scope of RERA protections, MahaRERA has held that an initial investment later converted into a registered flat purchase creates a valid allottee-promoter relationship, entitling the complainant to withdraw from a delayed project and claim full refund with interest, irrespective of COVID-related extensions.
