# TG RERA helps techie register flat after builder’s extra demand 2026-08-12T01:13:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet On July 30, Telangana RERA ordered builder Aaditri Empire to hand over a flat to software engineer P Krishna Mohan Rao after the firm tried to extract an extra Rs 5 lakh and duplicate GST. Rao had booked two flats near Kokapet in 2019, but construction and RERA registration were delayed until 2025. When he asked about registration, the builder demanded extra money and refused to proceed without payment. Rao filed a complaint in September 2025. After hearings, the builder's advocate admitted the error. The judge strongly objected to the double GST collection and warned that future complaints from other buyers would attract heavy penalties. Rao completed flat registration in March 2026. He advised buyers to keep proper documents and verify RERA registration before investing. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com Tags: builder dispute, home buyer, real estate, regulatory action, RERA, Telangana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tg-rera-helps-techie-register-flat-after-builders-extra-demand/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
