Homebuyers can seek refund if flat delayed beyond 1 year: NCDRC

全国消费者纠纷调解委员会（NCDRC）：若交房延期一年以上，购房者可申请退款

NEW DELHI: In a relief to lakhs of aggrieved homebuyers who are forced to wait for possession of their flats for years, the apex consumer commission has quantified a time period of one year for delayed projects beyond which investors can claim refund from builders.

新德里：印度全国消费者纠纷调解委员会规定延期项目不得超过一年，否则购房者可向开发商索赔，这让数以百万愤愤不平的购房者感到宽慰，他们被迫等待多年才能住上自己的公寓。

Judicial forums, including Supreme Court and consumer courts, have repeatedly held that homebuyers cannot be made to wait indefinitely, but it was not clarified when refund can be claimed in case of delay.

包括最高法院和消费者法院在内的司法机构多次表示，不能让购房者无限期地等待交房，但没有明确规定，如果出现拖延，何时可以要求退款。

Now, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has held that buyers can seek refund if possession is delayed by one year beyond the date promised by the builder. “It is now established that allottees have the right to ask for refund if possession is inordinately delayed, particularly beyond one year,” a bench of Prem Narain said.

现在，全国消费者纠纷调解委员会裁定，如果交房比开发商承诺的日期晚一年，购房者可以要求退款。Prem Narain的一名法官表示:“目前的规定是，如果交房过度拖延，特别是超过一年，购房者有权要求退款。”

The court passed the order on a plea by Delhi resident Shalabh Nigam, who in 2012 bought a flat in the luxury housing project, Greenopolis, in Gurgaon being developed by Orris Infrastructure and 3C company.

2012年，德里居民沙拉布·尼甘在古尔冈的高档楼盘购买了一套公寓。该项目由Orris Infrastructure和3C公司开发。

Good decision in favor of home Buyers. But inflation and other conditions should also be taken into account as mere 10% interest will not meet up the increase in price rise of the property in that area.

这个规定有利于购房者。但是通货膨胀和其他情况也应该考虑进去，因为仅仅10%的利息不足以支付该地区房地产上涨的价格。

Make law to provide mandatory refund with interest, on day 366. Buyers should not be the ones to run around making claims.

应该立法规定强制退款并支付利息，不应该让买家四处奔走提出索赔。

Think over it - successive Govts, no improvement in how builders treated buyers. 5 years of Modi and you get RERA. Give Modi another chance. I have a strong feelin that the next surgical strike will be on real estate

仔细想想——连续几届政府，都没对开发商采取行动。莫迪执政5年，就有了房地产监管局。再给莫迪一次机会吧。我有一种强烈的感觉，下一个遭遇外科手术打击的将是房地产行业。

But who will ensure that the builder refunds the money??? Or would the buyer again have to approach the court for refund?

谁能确保开发商会退款呢?到时购房者还得再次向法院求助要求退款吗?

永远不要购买期房，要买随时能入住的，即使要多付100万卢比，至少你能马上拿到钥匙

Buyers can only ''SEEK REFUND''!!......Whether they will get it back or not is a different tangent

购房者能“要求退款”!!但他们能否收到退款就是另一回事了。

Well thought policy by the authorties. This will further prevent developer from misusing people money as well as develop the project on time. India is known for delay in project citing various reasons

当局的政策是经过深思熟虑的。可以进一步防止开发人员滥用资金，并按时完成项目。众所周知，印度房地产项目常常因各种原因而延期。

then the builder will purposely delay handing over of ready flat so he can sell it to others for higher price! best is to buy ready to move in flats.

然后开发商会故意推迟交房，这样他就可以以更高的价格卖给别人了!最好是买现房。

The more the builder delays the project, the more the construction costs goes up.

开发商工期拖得越长，建造成本就越高。

Nitish Sinha • Bangalore • 2 hours ago

This is rule is in favour of Builder. Build would be happy to use customers'' money to construct the building and will return it with just 10% interest . later he can sell ready to occupy flat with much higher rate.

这条规定对开发商有利。他们很乐意用客户的钱来盖楼，只要支付10%的利息。之后，开发商以更高的价格出售房子。

Nice decision. But entitled to claim redund, and getting a refund are still two different things.

这个裁决好。但有权索赔和拿到退款是两码事。

Chennai • 3 hours ago

Good joke. From whom to seek refund.?

Those who don''t deliver the flat would have swindled or diverted all the money by then.

Since when the builder doesn''t deliver on time means he is up to something else.

笑话，向谁申请退款?

那些没有交房的开发商已经把所有的钱都卷走了。

不能按时交房，就意味着开发商挪钱去做别的事情了。
