In a recent ruling, the Punjab RERA stated that builders can’t just charge homebuyers extra for any increase in carpet area or super area unless both parties have clearly agreed to it in the contract.
This decision came about after the homebuyers from Rani Ka Bagh, Amritsar, took legal action against a builder based in Kalkaji, Delhi. The builder and homebuyers had signed an agreement where the carpet area was stated as 139.17 sq. meters (1498 sq. ft.) which was also registered with the RERA Authority.
