Q:Hi! I had bought two units in Imperial Heights, Goregaon W, Mumbai in 2015. The handover has been delayed repeatedly and last year in RERA the builder had declared June 2019 as handover date and now they are applying for extension to June 2020 to RERA. We can't afford paying rent and EMI every month. What is the legal recourse that can be taken?
Latest Answer: The RERA authority may extend the registration granted to a project on the basis of the facts of the case, where the delay in the particular project is not due to default on the part of the promoter. However, in any circumstance, such extension shall not exceed a period of one year. As this project has already get extension by the RERA authority, this time they will have to pay penalty and the compensation to the buyers.
