On consideration of the docu mad€ regarding con ble on record and submissions ions ofthe Act, the Authority is satisfied that the respordent is in contravention ofthe section 11tal(al of the Act by not handin8 over possession by the due date as per the agreement.
By virtue of clause 14 ofthe agreement' the possession of ti" ,uti".t upunrn"nt wus to be delivered within 36 months from the date of start ol construction For the reasons quoted above' the due date ofpossession is to be calculated fiom the date oI start of construction i.e., 14.06.2013 and the sai' therefore due date ofPosses r months is allowed, 14.17.2016.
The respondenthas obtained the occupation certificate on 3005 2019' Copies or ttre same have Ueen placed on r€cord' The authoritv is ofthe considered vlew that ttrere is delay on the part of the respondent to ofrer physical possession ofthe allotted unit to the complainant as p€r the terms and conditions ol the buyer's agr€ement dared 0404 2013 executed between the parties lt is $e failure on pan of the promoter to fulfil its obligations and responsibilities as per the buver's agreement u HARERA GURUGRAN4 dated 04.04.2013 to hand over the possession within the stipulated period.

Seclion lc(I0) of lhe Act obligales lhe dllottee tak€ possession oftlle receipt of occupation subject unrt within 2 months from the date certificate ln the prese't complaint' the occupation certificate was granted by the competent authority on 30'05'2019' The respondent offered the possession ofthe unit in question to the complainant onlv on 01.05.2019.
1.05.2019.
So, it can be said that the complainant came to know about the occupation certificate oniy upon the date of offer of possession Therefore, in the interest of natural justi'e the complainaDt shouldbegiven2monlhs' mehomthedateof ofierof possession This 2 month oireasonable time is being given to the complainant keeping in mind that even after intimation ol poss€ssion practically he has to arrange a lot ol logistics and requisite documents including but not limited to inspection of the completely finished unit but this is subiect to thatthe unitbeinghanded overalthe time of taking possession is in habrrable condrLton' lt i5 turther Llariti€d that lhe deldy posse'sion charges shall be pavabl€ from the duedate ofpossession i'e'' 14 11 2016 rillthe date of offer ofposs€ssion ortiil the date ofhandover wh'chever 52.
Accordingly, the non_compliaflce ofthemandate contained iD section 11[4)(a] read with section 18(1) ofthe Actonthe part oithe respondent is €stablished.
As such the €omplainant is entitled to delay possession charges after deduction amount which has alreadv been Siven by the respondent as credit compensation at rate ofthe prescribed interest @ 11% p.a. w.e.f. from the due date of possession i'e ' 1411 2016 till the dat. oioffer oipossessioD plus tlvo months o' till the date of handing Pa8€ 25 of30 Cooplaint no.5456 of2022 and 3 othe's *HARERA S-eunuGnaul over whichever is earlier as per provisions or section I 8[1] of the Act read wlth rule 15 ofthe Rules' ,a.
