Case Law Analysis
Consumer Protection Act, Section 2(1)(g) | Full Refund + Interest Mandated for Builder’s Failure to Deliver Occupancy Certificate or Conveyance Deed : NCDRC
Buyers are entitled to a full refund of consideration with interest when a builder fails to deliver the occupancy certificate or execute the conveyance deed within a reasonable time, as this constitutes a deficiency in service under the Consumer Protection Act. The ruling establishes a clear precedent that possession without statutory compliance is not valid possession, protecting homebuyers from prolonged legal limbo and financial exploitation.
