HYDERABAD: Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has directed Kavuri Forest Nest developer to maintain common areas of the community, strictly in line with the agreement of sale.
The order came in response to a group complaint filed by 10 villa owners against developer Kavuri Ravi Kumar and Kavuri Forest Nest Villa Owners' Maintenance Mutually Aided Co-operative Society.
The complainants alleged that despite contractually agreeing to maintain the project for five years from handover at a fixed rate of 50 per square foot, the developer stopped several services since June 2024 while demanding additional charges.

Issues cited included discontinuation of road sweeping, inadequate security, poor upkeep of gardens, and inoperative facilities like clubhouse, gym, and swimming pool at villa project at Lemoor Road, Tukkuguda.
The Authority held that developer's responsibility to maintain common areas remains valid until conveyance was complete. "The respondent cannot unilaterally dilute or withdraw services on the ground that residents have chosen to supplement them through Association," the order stated.

'Continue maintenance sans reducing service quality'
TGRERA clarified that the Association cannot demand services beyond what was agreed under AoS.
Any upgrades, additional staffing, or third-party maintenance should be decided and funded by the Association.
RERA issued directions under Section 37 of RERA Act, 2016. "The developer needs to continue maintenance without reducing quality or charging extra. The project name, 'Kavuri Forest Nest', must be retained in all communications. Any deviation from plans will attract penalties," it added.

HRera orders builder to refund amount with 11% interest in resto unit dispute
Gurgaon: The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (H-Rera) directed a developer to refund the amount, which was paid by a buyer to open a restaurant in Sector 109, but upheld the cancellation of booking the unit as an agreement was not signed between the two parties. The complaint was filed by Atombridge Networks, which had booked a restaurant unit in Neo Square project in Sector 109 and paid a booking amount of Rs 2.5 lakh as an advance on Sept 2, 2018. The firm made more payments, totalling Rs 42.5 lakh, though a builder-buyer agreement was not executed. The complainant alleged that the builder continued to raise demands for payment without executing the agreement or showing progress of the project.

RERA slaps 4.5L fine on infra firm for fraud in plot sale
Cleared: dk Hyderabad: Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has imposed a penalty of 4.5 lakh on Roy All Diamond Infra Developers for misrepresentation and unauthorised marketing of a residential plot. The authority found that the firm collected 9 lakh from complainant Madikonda Mallesh without any legal ownership or authorisation over the property in question. Mallesh, a 40-year-old govt employee from Mallapur, filed the complaint after discovering that the plot he agreed to purchase in the venture 'Kaasvi E-City' did not belong to the respondent. According to the complaint, Nayak introduced himself as a partner in Roy All Diamond Infra Developers and claimed to be the absolute owner of Plot No. 43, measuring 150 square yards in Ferozguda village, Ibrahimpatnam mandal. He demanded a sale consideration of 36 lakh and received 9 lakh as advance through multiple payments in March 2024. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad Nayak executed a sale agreement on June 7, 2024, with a clause requiring the balance payment of 27 lakh within 40 days. However, the respondent became untraceable after signing the agreement. Upon verifying the property's Encumbrance Certificate, the complainant discovered that the land actually belonged to another real estate developer.

TGRERA Orders Refund with Interest and Seeks Probe into Project Promoters TGRERA, in its findings, observed that the respondent had no legal title or authority over the land and that his conduct constituted a violation of Sections 11(4)(a) and 12 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. In addition to the penalty under Section 61, the authority directed the respondent to refund the 9 lakh received from the complainant with 11% annual interest, calculated from the date of each payment until the amount is realised. The refund has to be completed within 30 days from the date of the order. Noting "unauthorised and deceptive conduct," the authority also instructed Telangana RERA secretary to initiate an inquiry and issue a show cause notice to the registered promoters of Kaasvi E-City. The notice seeks a written explanation on whether Nayak was ever authorised to market or collect payments for the project, and requires submission of all related agreements and correspondence. The order was issued under Sections 37 and 38 of the RERA Act, empowering the authority to take such enforcement actions. The authority has made it clear that any further non-compliance with the refund or penalty payment timelines would invite additional consequences under the Act.

Unified RERA portal likely by March-end to help track developers and projects
Pune: Homebuyers would soon be able to track real estate projects and developers across India through a single digital platform. The Union housing and urban affairs ministry and All India Forum of Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (AIFORERA) are working together to develop a unified RERA portal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now AIFORERA officials told TOI on Monday that the integrated IT platform —expected to go live by the end of March — would unify all state real estate regulatory authority (RERA) websites under a single, standardised format. The move aims to simplify navigation, improve transparency, and help buyers make informed decisions. "Currently, buyers must visit separate state portals — each with a different layout — to gather information about developers and projects. The new system will standardise this process and create a user-friendly interface," said a senior AIFORERA official. He said a detailed proposal would be submitted to the ministry in August. "It is a humongous task to compile all the data, but we are on it with the ministry's support and have reached out to all states," said the official. Officials said inputs would be taken from technically advanced state RERA platforms — like those of Maharashtra and Gujarat — to design the portal. "These states have sophisticated systems. Their developer modules will serve as reference points," an official added. The portal would allow users to check quarterly project reports, construction timelines, developer history, and the status of approvals, such as occupancy and commencement certificates. Information on residential and commercial developments across all states would be accessible at the click of a button. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "This system will benefit all stakeholders. It will not only help buyers verify credentials easily but also aid regulatory bodies in effective enforcement of RERA Act," said another AIFORERA member. All projects registered under RERA are required to upload progress reports and meet deadlines, including any granted extensions. The centralised system would integrate this data for nationwide access. While citizen groups have welcomed the initiative, they have flagged gaps in current state portals. "Many websites lack mandatory updates like commencement or occupancy certificates. Developers often skip uploading quarterly reports. Unless these shortcomings are addressed, a central portal may not achieve its full purpose," said Manohar Das, a citizen activist. Another activist S. Joshi said that many builders float separate special purpose vehicles (SPVs) for each project, making it hard to trace a group's track record. "The central portal must ensure all SPV and parent company data is linked in a transparent manner so there is a clear understanding of the track record of a particular builder,'' said the activist. Some members of the Central Advisory Council (CAC) have also urged the ministry to ensure that the platform is truly citizen-centric and guards buyers against misleading claims. "It should be citizen friendly and ensure that the data loaded is updated continuously," said a CAC member.
