Telangana RERA Orders Refund To Homebuyer And Imposes Rs 9.96 Lakh Penalty On Hyderabad-Based Builder For Selling Unregistered Project

The Telangana RERA has ordered a refund to a homebuyer and imposed a penalty of Rs 9.96 lakh on a Hyderabad-based builder for selling an unregistered project. The builder had marketed and sold units in a real estate project without registering it with RERA, which is a mandatory requirement under the RERA Act. The tribunal found the builder guilty of violating the regulations and ordered a full refund to the homebuyer, along with the penalty for non-compliance. This ruling serves as a reminder to builders to ensure that all projects are registered with RERA before sale to avoid legal consequences and protect the interests of buyers.
