The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TG-RERA) has ordered Prime Infratech, developer of the Prime Alpenia villa project near Mokila, to form and register an official allottees' association within 45 days. The directive follows a complaint by villa owner Budi Venkata Ramana, who alleged ongoing harassment and illegal fund collection due to the absence of a registered association. TG-RERA cited the developer's non-compliance with Section 11(4)(e) of the RERA Act, 2016, which mandates the creation of such a body. The authority also clarified that maintenance charges are legally applicable from the date of possession, regardless of occupancy. While disputes among residents fall outside TG-RERA's jurisdiction, affected parties may approach the Telangana Co-operative Department. The order reinforces the importance of structured community governance for transparent maintenance and shared responsibility in post-handover real estate developments.
Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TG-RERA) has issued a direct order to Prime Infratech, the developer behind the Prime Alpenia villa project near Mokila, compelling the immediate formation of a formal association for its allottees. This directive came recently, following a complaint from a villa owner alleging continued harassment and illicit fund collection due to the absence of a properly registered community body.

The order requires the developer to facilitate the registration of this allottees' association within a strict timeline of 45 days. The complaint, filed by villa owner Budi Venkata Ramana, stated that despite fulfilling payments for corpus and maintenance, the promised owners' association had never been established.
TG-RERA's ruling specified that Prime Infratech had failed to comply with Section 11(4)(e) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, which explicitly mandates the formation of such a body. The authority clarified that the promoter's obligation to initiate and facilitate a registered association is a legally binding duty.
Furthermore, TG-RERA addressed other aspects of Ramana's complaint, confirming the legal requirement for residents to pay maintenance charges based on property possession, irrespective of actual occupancy. It also noted that disputes occurring among residents or within unregistered groups do not fall under its direct jurisdiction, guiding the allottee to seek redress for such internal matters through the Telangana Co-operative Department.
This emphasis on formalized associations aims to empower residents with collective oversight of project maintenance and common area management, a critical step in transparent post-handover project governance.
