The Bombay High Court orders the Maharashtra government to refund ₹3 lakh in stamp duty, ruling against technical delays in a critical win for home buyers.

Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal rules that statutory charges like GST, stamp duty, and TDS paid by homebuyers cannot be recovered from developers in delayed-possession cases, as these payments go directly to government authorities.

Maharashtra faces real estate recovery crisis as only 31% of MahaRERA warrants executed. Rs 527 crore still pending across 1,212 cases affecting homebuyers statewide. PM Modi intervenes as verification of 2,600 OCs begins following Dombivli scam fallout.
