Dated on: Wednesday 13th August 2025

Haryana RERA has directed Real Heights Developers, Panipat, to refund Rs 10 lakh to homebuyer Jasvir Singh along with Rs 7.73 lakh interest at 10.9% annually. The builder had accepted the amount in cash for a flat in the ‘Harmony Homes’ project, violating the Rs 2 lakh cash transaction limit. Despite denying the claim and alleging forgery, the developer failed to justify the payment. RERA also referred the case to the Income Tax Department, marking strict action against unaccounted cash dealings in real estate and reinforcing transparency in property transactions.
