The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has ruled that Mann-Hinje Township Developers LLP, part of Godrej Properties, must refund over ₹14 lakh (approximately $17,000 USD) to two homebuyers in Pune who canceled their bookings for two adjoining flats in the Godrej Woodsville project. The cancellation occurred within 10 days after the homebuyers learned that the flats could not be combined into a single 'jodi' apartment as they intended. Despite the developer's claims of having refunded the amount, MahaRERA found no documentary evidence to support this assertion. The authority ordered the developer to process the refund within 60 days and warned that failure to comply would result in interest charges at the State Bank of India’s Highest Marginal Cost of Lending Rate (MCLR) plus 2%. The case highlights the importance of transparency and adherence to regulatory guidelines in real estate transactions.
