Haryana RERA Directs Vatika to Pay ₹22.7 Lakh Compensation to Homebuyers for Six-Year Delay in Xpressions Project
RERA Order: Vatika to Compensate Homebuyers for Six-Year Delay in Xpressions
In September 2026, Haryana RERA directed Vatika to pay more than ₹22.7 lakh to two homebuyers concerning a six-year delay in handing over a unit in its Xpressions project. The order also included ₹1 lakh for mental agony and harassment and ₹50,000 in litigation costs.
The Possession Agreement and Timeline
A proceeding concerning Vatika's Xpressions project in Sector 88B recorded that the agreement had provided for possession within 48 months, that the authority considered the delay material and that a refund with prescribed interest was ordered after the occupation certificate had not been received and possession had not been offered.
The order reflects ongoing regulatory scrutiny of project timelines in the National Capital Region's real estate market. Possession delays beyond the agreed period trigger compensation provisions under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
