Flat delayed, builder told to pay buyer 11% interest in Gurgaon

Time of India03-06-2025
Gurgaon: Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRera) has directed the builder of a highrise condominium — an affordable group housing project in Sector 109 — to pay the delay-possession interest and hand over the apartment to the complainant as per the terms of the buyer's agreement.

The unit number 908 of Tower 3 at Expressway Towers 109 was purchased for Rs 26.26 lakh nine years ago. The builder assured timely possession of the flat, with a carpet area of 644 sqft and a balcony area of 100 sqft, but failed to deliver within the stipulated four-year period from the date of allotment — May 19, 2017.
HRera (Gurgaon) ordered the realtor to pay interest at 11.10% per annum on the amount paid by the complainant from May 30, 2022 until the valid offer of possession or two months post-occupation certificate — whichever is earlier.
The builder has been given 90 days to clear all arrears of interest and must continue paying interest monthly until possession is offered. Additionally, the builder must provide an updated statement of account within 30 days, reflecting adjusted dues after interest.
The complainant approached HRera alleging an inordinate delay in the delivery of the unit, which had been booked in 2016. An initial payment of Rs 1.28 lakh was made on Jan 17, 2016 and a total of Rs 13.65 lakh was paid by May 2018.
Despite demands raised by the promoter in July 2021 for outstanding dues, the project remained incomplete. The complainant sought immediate possession after adjusting pending dues against delay compensation.
After hearing the matter, HRera held the promoter in contravention of Section 11(4)(a) of the RERA Act and passed directions under Section 37.
Upon receipt of the updated statement of account, the complainant must clear any outstanding dues within 60 days.

The builder has also been instructed to hand over the flat and execute the conveyance deed within three months of obtaining the occupation certificate, subject to stamp duty and registration charges.
The authority clarified that the promoter cannot charge labour cess or work contract tax and must provide VAT calculation proofs if applicable. Maintenance charges may only be levied as per actual consumption, the order said.
In Aug last year, HRera conducted a meeting on the stalled OSB Expressway Towers project in Sector 109 with homebuyers and the builder and issued a final warning, saying that if the project was not completed within six months, the regulator would invoke Section 8 of the Rera Act.
This would transfer control to the buyers' association and potentially involve a third-party builder.
The project, launched in 2017, faced significant delays, and despite repeated warnings, the builder failed to deliver possession of the flats. In response to HRera chairperson Arun Kumar's warning, the builder had assured completion of the project within the timeframe.
However, he faces challenges arising out of licence suspension of three of his other projects due to default in payment and non-compliance with department of town and country planning orders.

Indian Man Living In New Zealand Wonders If 1 Crore Is Enough To Return To Punjab Village, Internet Reacts

The dream of moving abroad for a better life has fuelled the ambitions of countless Indians, but is the grass really greener on the other side? An Indian man, who chased that dream all the way to New Zealand, is now seeking Reddit's advice on whether Rs 1 crore is enough to return to India permanently. In his post, titled "is 1 crore still a big money in India?", the anonymous user shared that he moved to New Zealand when he was 19, but now, when he is around 30 years old, he wants to return to India permanently. The non-resident Indian (NRI) revealed that he has NZD 200,000 (or Rs 1.03 crore) in savings. "I been living in New Zealand since I was 19 and now 30. When I left India (2013) 1 crore seems like a big money. How about these days? Reason I am asking this question because I want to return back to India permanently. Have around $200K NZD in savings, will that be enough to survive in a Punjab village as I own house there," the user wrote. He also shared information about his wealth status. "I own 1 Shopify store which generates around 100K NZD per year (so you can call it a remote job/business). I own US stocks worth about 138K NZD," he added. Take a look below: is 1 crore still a big money in India? by u/YourSecondFather in punjab Redditors were quick to react to the post. "One crore is not retirement money. But if you plan to invest and generate passive income, it can be doable with a descent lifestyle. If you want to do that, I suggest you first identify what you want to do or where you want to invest. Try and see if it works out or generates enough income. Then decide on switching," one user wrote. "As someone who lives splits time between India and NZ, you won't be able to have a NZ like lifestyle if you aren't planning to do any other job. I would say find a remote job with a NZ company and then move. There are plenty," commented another. "I don't know your situation, but if I were you, I wouldn't come back unless necessary. It is a good amount of money, but check the tax situation before you transfer your savings. You won't be able to retire on it but it can comfortably support you if you do something on the side like kheti etc," suggested a third user. "If you don't have a family to support and don't intend to have one. Then it is manageable," commented another.

Rs 170000000000 loan fraud: Anil Ambani to appear before ED today in money laundering case

Rs 170000000000 crore loan fraud: Anil Ambani to appear before ED today in money laundering case Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani will reportedly appear before the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in a money laundering case linked to an alleged bank loan fraud worth crores of rupees against his group companies, official sources said on Friday. The federal probe agency, will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) once he deposes, has also notified a Look Out Circular (LOC) against the 66-year-old businessman to stop him from travelling abroad, the sources said. What is the case? The summons come after the federal agency conducted searches at 35 premises of 50 companies and 25 people, including executives of his business group, last week. The searches, launched on July 24, went on for three days. Some executives of Ambani's group companies have been also been summoned over the next few days. The action pertains to alleged financial irregularities and collective loan 'diversion' pegged at more than Rs 17,000 crore by multiple group companies of Anil Ambani, including Reliance Infrastructure (R Infra). The agency found, on the basis of a Sebi report, that R Infra 'diverted' funds disguised as inter-corporate deposits (ICDs) to Reliance Group companies through a company named CLE. It is alleged that R Infra did not disclose CLE as its 'related party' to avoid approvals from shareholders and audit panels. What has Reliance responded? A Reliance Group spokesperson said in a statement that the allegation regarding alleged diversion of Rs 10,000 crore to an undisclosed party was a 10-year-old matter and the company had stated in its financial statements that its exposure was only around Rs 6,500 crore. Reliance Infrastructure had publicly disclosed this matter on February 9, 2025, nearly six months ago, the statement said. 'Through mandatory mediation proceedings conducted by a retired Supreme Court judge and the mediation award filed before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, Reliance Infrastructure arrived at a settlement to recover its 100 per cent exposure of Rs 6,500 crore,' it said. The company added that Ambani was not on the board of R Infra since more than three years (March 2022). The ED is also looking at allegations of 'illegal' loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by Yes Bank to the group companies of Ambani between 2017-2019. The ED, the sources said, has found that just before the loan was granted, Yes Bank promoters 'received' money in their concerns. The agency is investigating this nexus of 'bribe' and the loan. What is ED probing? The sources said the ED is also probing allegations of 'gross violations' in Yes Bank loan approvals to these companies, including charges such as back-dated credit approval memorandums and investments proposed without any due diligence/credit analysis in violation of the bank's credit policy. The loans are alleged to have been 'diverted' to many group companies and 'shell' (bogus) companies by the entities involved. The agency is also looking at some instances of loans given to entities with weak financials, a lack of proper documentation of loans and due diligence, borrowers having common addresses and common directors in their companies, etc., the sources said. The money laundering case stems from at least two CBI FIRs and reports shared by National Housing Bank, SEBI, National Financial Reporting Authority and Bank of Baroda with the ED, they had said. These reports, the sources said, indicate that there was a 'well-planned and thought after scheme' to divert or siphon off public money by cheating banks, shareholders, investors and other public institutions.
