Real Estate India: What is the penalty for the late delivery of Prelaunch Real Estate Properties?

-
Question asked by Arjun:

I bought a plot measuring 500 sq yds in a pre launch offer from a reputed builder. There was a clause in the agreement, which stated that if the builder could not allot the plots in a specified timeframe, 18% interest would be accumulated on the deposit. Now after a delay of 14 months, the builder is finally in a position to allot the plots. He is not recognizing the clause for penalty. Is there any legal shelter I have?

Vatsala Answers:

You can approach the Consumer Court in the place where the property is situated and file a case for deficiency of service. You can claim compensation for the delay with interest.

Real Estate India: Property Registration Enforcement by Consumer Courts India

Question asked by Mr Narayan Bhagavatula from Fremont, California: Hi Vatsala, My mother (75 yrs) has purchased an apartment in Hyderabad on March 21, 2006 , paid full amount and the seller and builder have acknowledged receiving the amount and my mother is in possession since March 21, 2006. But the Seller and Builder have refusing to register the property in her name. We have sent out notice to both 2-3 times. Can we pursue the case in Consumer Court ? Does Consumer Court have jurisdiction or powers to enforce the registration process ? I briefly read Consumer Act of India and felt it covers only movable goods and deficiency in services. I live in USA. I will appreciate any inputs from you. Thanks a Lot. Mr. Narayan Bhagavatula, Fremont, California Vatsala Answers: You can move the Consumer court only for deficiency in services. You should move the concerned civil court for specific performance. Vatsalahttp://www.atoneplace.com For more information, kindly visit at Real Estate India ...
