The district consumer disputes redressal commission has ruled against the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) for failing to deliver possession of a flat at Purab Premium Apartments in Sector 88, Punjab, India, within the promised timeline. Shilpi Shrivastava, the complainant, applied for the flat in 2012 and was supposed to receive possession within 36 months. However, GMADA delayed the handover until October 2016, offering the flat on an 'as is where is' basis, despite significant construction still pending. The commission found GMADA guilty of deficiency in service and unfair trade practices for not obtaining the necessary completion certificate before possession. The commission ordered GMADA to pay ₹50,000 (approximately $600 USD) to Shrivastava for mental agony and litigation costs and mandated that they refrain from charging maintenance fees until the completion certificate is secured. The ruling was made by a bench including president SK Aggarwal and members Paramjeet Kaur and Lieutenant Colonel Jasbir Singh Bath.
