MahaRERA – Being Aware Of Market Conditions, Builders Should Conduct Due Diligence Before Declaring Project's Possession Date

Live Law  

While directing the builder to pay interest to the homebuyer for delayed possession, Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority bench, comprising Ajoy Mehta, held that builders are aware of market conditions, therefore, they are required to conduct due diligence before declaring the possession date. If the builder fails to complete or is unable to give possession of an apartment, plot, or building— in accordance with the terms of the agreement for sale or, as the case may be, duly completed by the date specified therein; or due to discontinuance of his business as a developer on account of suspension or revocation of the registration under this Act or for any other reason, he shall be liable on demand to the homebuyers, in case the allottee wishes to withdraw from the project, without prejudice to any other remedy available, to return the amount received by him in respect of that apartment, plot, building, as the case may be, with interest at such rate as may be prescribed in this behalf including compensation in the manner as provided under this Act: Provided that where an allottee does not intend to withdraw from the project, he shall be paid, by the builder, interest for every month of delay, till the handing over of the possession, at such rate as may be prescribed. The authority observed that builders, being aware of market conditions, are expected to finalize the possession date of the project by conducting thorough due diligence, as Section 18 of RERA, 2016, does not provide any waivers or exceptions to builders. Therefore, the authority directed the builder to pay interest to the homebuyer from the possession date stipulated in the agreement until the date the occupancy certificate is received by the builder.
