The Story in Brief
Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority has ordered penalty proceedings against Pacifica Constructions for booking and allotting a flat in its Aavas Hyderabad project before the project’s registration. The authority found the flat was booked in 2017, while registration came in 2019, breaching Section 3 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act.
In their complaint, Bachupally residents Nitika and Vishal Saraf alleged delayed possession, construction defects, missing basic services and undisclosed charges. Pacifica denied delay, citing a Covid-related 18-month extension, and said an occupancy certificate was issued on September 12, 2025. TG RERA said the possession plea no longer survived after a sale deed was executed on December 3, 2025, but barred recovery of penalty charges linked to the previous allottee.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy builder-versus-buyer narrative misses two separate issues. A registered sale deed may settle possession, but it does not erase the regulator’s finding about marketing an unregistered project. Equally, every complaint about defects or charges is not automatically proved by allegation. The useful test is the final penalty order, alongside records on occupancy, dues and promised facilities. Will TG RERA publish the penalty and its reasoning?
