Consumer Protection Act | Delayed Flat Possession Entitles Buyer to Full Refund with 10% Interest + ₹2 Lakh Compensation for Mental Harassment : Maharashtra State Consumer Commission

The Maharashtra State Consumer Commission ruled that a flat buyer is entitled to a full refund of ₹8.43 lakh with 10% interest from the date of payment, plus ₹2 lakh compensation for mental harassment due to delayed possession. The order underscores that developers cannot evade liability by citing injunctions or incomplete payments when the project itself is illegal or stalled.
