The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
This case shows RERA can work, but the builder's delay and extra demands suggest a pattern of testing buyers' patience. Some may paint all builders as rogues, yet here the firm admitted the mistake. The real test is whether RERA will penalise similar behaviour without waiting for complaints. Will the authority now proactively audit this builder's other transactions to stop future exploitation? That number will tell if the warning is real.
