Compensation along with interest for delay in possession by builder


24-Oct-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I had purchased a flat and signed an agreement in 2011, wherein the possession date is 30 Sep'14. However, till date I have not got possession. Hence, I have registered a compliant at MAHARERA against builder for delay in possession by more than 3years. I ask asked for compensation in the form of interest for delay of possession under section 18 of RERA act. I would like to know if we can claim interest from builder although the agreement is signed in 2011. If Not, will I get justice in consumer court?

Yes. You can claim interest from the builder. The clauses of your agreement needs to be checked in detail. MAHARERA is an additional remedy for you. You can also approach consumer court or can file suit in civil court for specific performance of contract and possession.
