Delayed possession - maharera

This discussion explores whether homebuyers are entitled to interest compensation for delayed property possession when the promoter invokes a Force Majeure clause due to COVID-19. While the promoter initially cited Force Majeure for six months, Maharera granted an additional six-month extension for RERA registration. Despite the promoter's promise of possession by the extended deadline, the question remains if compensation is due from the original possession date. The prevailing view suggests that due to Maharera's extension and the allowed invocation of Force Majeure, the builder may be exempted from paying interest or penalties for the extended period.
