Kulhari, Adjudicating Officer, held that an allottee whose project was declared lapsed after the promoter failed to deliver possession within the agreed timeline was entitled to compensation in addition to the refund with interest already granted by the RERA<\/p>\n<p>It was observed that,<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">&#8220;There is a loss of interest of approximate 4 per cent every month which deserves to be awarded in the form of compensation to cover the apparent financial loss caused to the complainant who have arranged the funds from the financial institution.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The complainant booked flat in the respondent&#8217;s housing project and executed an agreement for sale on <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">26 February 2020<\/span>, under which possession of the flat was to be delivered by <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1 March 2022<\/span>.

The Authority noted that factors such as market conditions, government policies and procurement of raw material were risks to be borne by the promoter and could not be shifted to the allottee. The Authority observed that while the Covid-19 Pandemic might have delayed the project for a few months, delay of 4-5 years could not be justified. The Authority found the respondent to have violated the provisions of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001535548\" target=\"_blank\">18<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002840159\" target=\"_blank\">RERA Act<\/a>, entitling the complainant to delayed interest as well as compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Authority observed that for assessment of compensation, various aspects including financial loss, physical and mental agony, cost of litigation, etc. have to be considered as provided under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001535608\" target=\"_blank\">72<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002840159\" target=\"_blank\">RERA Act<\/a>.

The Authority observed that although the Rajasthan RERA had awarded interest at 10.80 per cent per annum, but the complainant was paying interest at 14 per cent per annum, compoundable on monthly basis, thereby suffering an additional financial burden, which deserved to be compensated. The Authority noted that the complainant had suffered mental and physical agony, besides losing the opportunity to own a house, particularly in view of the increase in property prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Also Read:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/05\/28\/raj-rera-promoter-cannot-escape-liability-in-case-of-outstanding-dues-and-delayed-possession\/\" target=\"_blank\">Promoter Cannot Escape Liability for Delayed Possession by Solely Relying on Payment Default; Rajasthan RERA Clarifies Position<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">Allowing the complaint, the Authority directed the respondent to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">1. pay compensation by way of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">additional interest at 4 per cent per annum<\/span> on the deposited amount from the respective dates of deposit until refund, in addition to the interest already awarded by the Rajasthan RERA,<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">2. pay <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8377;80,000<\/span> towards compensation for loss of opportunity and physical and mental agony and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8377;20,000<\/span> towards litigation expenses, and<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">3. comply with the order within <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">45 days<\/span>, failing which the entire amount would carry <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">additional interest at 2 per cent per annum<\/span> until payment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Sanjeet Singh<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">AKG Affordable Housing (P) Ltd<\/span>., RAJ-RERA-C-O-2024-7330, decided on 30-6-2026<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For the Complainant:<\/span> Advocate Keshav Khandelwal<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For the Respondent:<\/span> Advocate Kriti Chhabra<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Authority noted that the complainant had suffered mental and physical agony, besides losing the opportunity to own a house, particularly in view of the increase in property prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67543,"featured_media":390199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[34842,109671,109669,46293,75755,38176,109672,31462,87416,46318,107638,35751,82039,109670,25424,109666,109667,109668],"class_list":["post-390195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-casebriefs","category-tribunals_commissions_regulatorybodies","tag-adjudicating-officer","tag-allottee-rights","tag-compensation-under-rera","tag-delayed-possession","tag-homebuyers-rights","tag-housing-project","tag-lapsed-project","tag-mental-agony","tag-promoter-liability","tag-rajasthan-real-estate-regulatory-authority","tag-rajasthan-rera","tag-real-estate-regulation-and-development-act-2016","tag-real-estate-law","tag-refund-with-interest","tag-rera","tag-section-18-rera","tag-section-71-rera","tag-section-72-rera"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rajasthan RERA awards compensation despite refund with interest for delayed possession and mental agony| SCC Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rajasthan RERA holds refund with interest does not bar an allottee from claiming additional compensation for delayed possession, financial loss, mental agony and litigation costs.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/07\/13\/refund-with-interest-and-additional-compensation-under-rera\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Builder Delayed Delivery of Possession by 4-5 Years and Blamed COVID.
