The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has ruled against a builder following multiple complaints from Rach Naveen Kumar and other flat owners of Padmasreekar Icon in Gajularamaram, Medchal-Malkajgiri. The authority directed the builder to pay a penalty of INR 4.5 lakh and rectify construction defects. Homebuyers alleged that the builder misrepresented amenities such as a play area, gym, and multipurpose hall while also failing to provide essential services like Manjeera water connection, despite collecting INR 3 lakh per flat. The builder refuted the claims, asserting that buyers were aware of the terms. After evaluating the evidence, TGRERA ordered the builder to address all issues within 60 days.
The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has taken action against a builder following multiple complaints from homebuyers at Padmasreekar Icon in Gajularamaram, Medchal-Malkajgiri. Acting on grievances raised by Rach Naveen Kumar and other flat owners, TGRERA directed the builder to pay a penalty of INR 4.5 lakh and rectify defects in the flats. The ruling was issued earlier this week. Advertisement
Buyers had accused the developer of failing to fulfill contractual commitments and misleading them with false promises regarding amenities. According to the complaints, the builder had advertised facilities such as a play area, gym, and multipurpose hall but did not deliver them. Additionally, essential services, including the Manjeera water connection, were not provided, despite prior assurances. Each flat owner reportedly paid INR 3 lakh towards these amenities.
During the purchase negotiations, the builder informed the buyers that a contribution of INR 5,000 to INR 10,000 would be required for the provision of Manjeera water. However, homeowners claimed that the builder later denied any such obligation, leaving them without access to the promised service. In response, the builder dismissed the allegations, maintaining that buyers were fully aware of the agreement terms and specifications before purchasing the flats.
Following a thorough examination of the evidence, TGRERA ruled in favor of the complainants and instructed the builder to rectify all identified defects within 60 days. This decision highlights the increasing scrutiny on developers who fail to meet their commitments, reinforcing the need for accountability in the real estate sector.
In the past, the TGRERA has penalized builders for project delays, non-compliance with promised specifications, and misrepresentation of amenities. Cases of developers falsely advertising facilities like play areas, gyms, and clubhouses have been met with regulatory action, compelling them to either provide the promised amenities or compensate homebuyers. Despite prior promises, Telangana builders have failed to deliver Manjeera water connections, leaving homebuyers frequently to arrange alternative sources at their own expense. The growing trend of legal complaints indicates an increasing awareness among homebuyers and a push for stricter enforcement of real estate regulations.
