The commission said this requesting that a homebuyer be given a total discount despite having the offer for ownership already.

Passing the arrangement on Walk 27, the commission famous that the engineer, Add up to Environment, advertised ownership in 2020, more than three long times after getting the OC in 2018.

The Case

Monika Bansal, the buyer, had in 2015 booked an ultra-luxury loft at the Windmills of Your Intellect extend in Bengaluru’s Whitefield region, paying upwards of Rs 6.8 crore.

The date of ownership was given as October 2016. In any case, delays implied that the handover date was amplified to 2017.
