In a recent ruling, the Kerala State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed a builder to refund ₹50.54 lakh to a homebuyer who did not receive possession of the apartment despite making full payment.

The buyer had booked the flat in 2010 and paid the amount as per the agreement. However, the builder failed to hand over the property even after several years.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱:
▪️ Refund of ₹50.54 lakh
▪️ Interest at 16.65% per annum from the date of payment
▪️ Payment of litigation costs

The builder cited “force majeure” due to legal issues as the reason for the delay. However, the Commission rejected this argument and held the builder responsible for not delivering possession.

This order reinforces the liability of builders in cases of prolonged delay and non-delivery of promised properties.

A recent report by The Times of India highlights a concerning incident involving Bangalore Electricity Supply Company in Bengaluru.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱?
In an apartment complex in Jayamahal,
a resident raised a complaint after transformers were relocated to an area previously used as a children’s play space.

Following this, BESCOM reportedly threatened to disconnect power supply to the entire apartment complex.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
Concerns around use of common areas within apartment complexes
The importance of proper planning and approvals for electrical infrastructure
The challenges residents face when raising safety or compliance-related issues

Incidents like this underline the need for:
▪️ Clear documentation of designated common areas
▪️ Proper electrical infrastructure planning and approvals
▪️ Transparent coordination between utilities, RWAs, and residents

Nemmadi perspective

Situations like these often arise due to lack of structured handover, documentation, and technical validation.

This is where professional audits, compliance checks, and engineering reviews become critical — ensuring that:

Infrastructure is installed in the right locations
Safety norms are followed
Future conflicts are avoided

BDA will take responsibility for maintaining apartment complexes for a fixed period after completion, before handing it over to residents.

The authority is working on a structured system for collecting maintenance charges, with different models under consideration.

Until now, BDA has been managing services such as lifts, security, and garbage collection without a formal policy framework.

The report also highlights that BDA currently does not have a clear mechanism to mandate formation of apartment associations or transfer common areas, due to the absence of a government order.

Residents have welcomed the move, while seeking more clarity on the scope of services and maintenance charges.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Many EV owners living in apartments and gated communities are facing difficulties in installing charging points due to:

𝗥𝗪𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Resident Welfare Associations are hesitant to approve installations, citing safety risks, wiring challenges, and compliance concerns.

𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀
Property owners are reluctant as higher electricity usage can lead to increased bills, especially when it crosses subsidized limits.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀
Authorities have raised concerns about EV charging in basements, including risks related to fire hazards, ventilation, and emergency access.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁
This has created a deadlock between tenants, landlords, and RWAs, making it difficult for EV owners to charge their vehicles at home.

As a result, many are forced to depend on public charging infrastructure, which can be less convenient and more expensive.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
While India is actively promoting EV adoption, on-ground infrastructure challenges — especially in residential spaces — remain a key barrier.

Indian EV owners struggle with housing society restrictions on home charger installation. RWAs cite safety concerns while fire departments deny NOCs,creating barriers despite government EV promotion.

A recent ruling by the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has brought important clarity on GST applicability for Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs).

🧾 As per the ruling highlighted in the Taxscan report:

GST is applicable on services provided by RWAs to their members, even when exemption thresholds are being considered.

The AAR examined the nature of services provided by RWAs and held that:

These services fall under taxable supply
RWAs are not automatically exempt merely based on general assumptions around thresholds

📌 Key takeaway:

The ruling reinforces that GST applicability depends on the nature of services and conditions under GST law, and not just on perceived exemption limits.

This serves as an important reminder for:

RWAs
Management Committees
Residents

to carefully review GST compliance and applicability in their societies.

Concrete is meant to protect. But when it starts breaking away, it’s no longer doing its job.

Spalling of concrete is when the surface layer cracks, flakes, or chips off—often exposing the reinforcement inside. What may look like a minor cosmetic issue is actually a sign of deeper structural distress.

📢 Don’t ignore surface damage. It’s often the first sign of something deeper.
