RERA: The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HARERA) recently held a builder liable to pay interest compensation to a homebuyer who paid Rs 1.07 crore for a flat in 2013. In the last 10 years, the builder kept on promising the construction would finish however it did not.

Subsequently in 2014 a sale agreement was registered when he paid Rs 95 lakh thereby making the total payments to Rs 1.07 crore.
