TS RERA orders Srushti Symphony to register flat after buyer pays balance
HYDERABAD: The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TS RERA) has directed Srushti Infra Developers India to execute and register a sale deed for a flat in favour of buyer Pinnamaneni Susheela after she clears the balance sale consideration.
The authority issued the order on March 13, 2026, while disposing of a complaint filed by the buyer regarding a flat in the “Srushti Symphony” project.
Buyer paid 84% of sale value
According to the complaint, the buyer entered into an Agreement of Sale with the developer on December 29, 2017 for Flat No. C-305 in the project “Srushti Symphony”. The flat measures 1,135 sq ft and was priced at ₹40,45,000.
The complainant stated that she paid ₹34,00,000 to the developer by March 20, 2018, which amounted to 84% of the agreed sale consideration.
The agreement stipulated that possession of the flat would be handed over by June 28, 2019, with a grace period of three months.
Builder failed to respond to notices
Despite receiving the payments, the builder allegedly failed to execute the registration or hand over possession of the flat.
The complainant also told the authority that the developer was attempting to resell the same flat to third parties.
The authority noted that the developer did not appear before it or file a response despite notices being served. The complainant had issued a paper publication of the notice on September 11, 2025 and personally served it on September 12, 2025.
In view of the developer’s absence, the authority proceeded ex parte and examined the complaint based on the documents submitted.
Authority directs registration of flat
TS RERA observed that the developer had failed to execute the sale deed and deliver possession even after the contractual deadline had expired.
Citing the obligations under Section 17 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the authority held that the developer must register the flat and hand over possession after receiving the remaining sale amount.
The authority directed the complainant to clear any legitimate balance payment under the 2017 agreement.
Upon receipt of the balance consideration, the developer must execute and register the sale deed and hand over possession of Flat No. C-305 within 30 days.
Compensation claim to be decided separately
The complainant had also sought ₹10,000 per month as rent for the delay in handing over the flat.
The authority said such claims fall under compensation and must be decided by the Adjudicating Officer appointed under Section 71 of the RERA Act.
The complainant may approach the Adjudicating Officer for that relief, the order said.
The authority added that its direction to register the flat effectively prevents the developer from selling or creating third-party rights over the property.
Failure to comply with the order may invite penal action under Section 63 of the RERA Act, the authority warned.
