RERA Orders Builder to Compensate 12 Bahadurgarh Plot Buyers Over Possession Delay

BAHADURGARH | July 13, 2026: The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), Panchkula, has ruled in favour of 12 plot buyers in a Bahadurgarh residential project, holding that the developer cannot demand charges beyond those specified in the buyer agreement.

The authority declared the builder's additional demand of ₹79.30 lakh invalid and directed the developer to pay more than ₹1.13 crore as compensation for the delay, according to the order.

 

Dispute Over Additional Demand

According to the case, the buyers purchased 12 plots in June 2019. As per the agreement, a valid offer of possession was expected by June 2021.

However, the project was not completed within the agreed timeline, while the completion certificate was issued in July 2024.

The buyers later challenged the builder's additional monetary demand before Haryana RERA.

 

RERA Rejects Extra Charges

After hearing the matter, Haryana RERA held that the developer could not recover any amount beyond the charges specifically mentioned in the agreement executed with the buyers.

The authority directed the builder to withdraw the additional demand raised in the case.

 

 

Builder Directed to Offer Possession

RERA has instructed the developer to:

  • Issue a valid offer of possession within 15 days.
  • Pay the compensation amount within 90 days.

The authority also specified that if the builder fails to comply with the possession timeline, additional liability may arise in accordance with its order.

 

Why This Order Matters

The ruling reiterates that developers are expected to follow the contractual terms agreed with homebuyers.

It also highlights the role of RERA in addressing disputes related to:

  • Delayed possession.
  • Additional financial demands.
  • Buyer compensation.
  • Project compliance.

 

 

What Buyers Can Learn

Homebuyers facing disputes should:

  • Preserve all payment records.
  • Keep copies of the builder-buyer agreement.
  • Review project timelines carefully.
  • Seek appropriate legal or regulatory remedies where necessary.

 

Why It Matters

The order reinforces that contractual terms between buyers and developers remain important in resolving real estate disputes. Buyers should carefully review agreements and maintain complete documentation throughout the property purchase process.
