Gurugram, March 2026 – The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority has directed four prominent developers – Sunrays Heights, Raheja Developers, Ramprastha Developers, and Tashi Land Developers to deliver pending flats to buyers within 90 days. Additionally, the developers are mandated to compensate affected buyers with an 11% annual interest on the amounts they invested. Non-compliance could lead to further legal action, according to the regulator. H-RERA’s investigation revealed significant delays in project deliveries, with buyers paying amounts ranging from ₹13 lakh to ₹1 crore for apartments they had yet to receive. The regulator noted that these delays exceed the contractual timelines set by the developers.
Sunrays Heights’ 63 Golf Heights project, located in Sector 63A, was scheduled for possession in 2021. To date, buyers are still awaiting the handover of their flats. Recent HRERA orders show buyers receiving approximately 11.10% per annum interest for delays – making documentation and timely complaint filings critical for claimants.
The Legal Framework: Stay or Exit – Not Both
A concurrent ruling by the HRERA Adjudicating Officer has clarified an important boundary in delay compensation jurisprudence. The Haryana RERA ruling affirms a definitive position on delay compensation: homebuyers who accept possession and receive delay interest cannot pursue further compensation before the Adjudicating Officer. No additional claims like mental agony or price escalation are allowed once possession is accepted. Buyers must choose: remain with delay interest or exit to seek refund and full compensation.
This distinction matters practically. Buyers who accept possession of a delayed flat, even while receiving 11% interest, close the door on pursuing additional claims such as mental agony, loss of property appreciation, or price escalation before the AO. While developers have the option to appeal H-RERA’s decision at the RERA Appellate Tribunal, they must first deposit the fines levied on them and this legal route could delay relief for buyers, though it nonetheless provides buyers with rightful compensation, even if enforcement may result in partial settlements.
Location Context: Sector 63A, Golf Course Extension Road
Sector 63A sits within Gurugram’s Golf Course Extension Road micro-market – one of NCR’s most premium residential corridors. Buyers in this corridor should verify HRERA registration, read Quarterly Progress Reports, and keep the prescribed interest rule – typically SBI MCLR + 2%, in mind for any delay or refund disputes before booking any project. The 11% rate directed in the Sunrays Heights case reflects the current SBI MCLR plus 2% structure, consistent with Haryana RERA’s established compensation framework.
