RERA directs NBCC not to take coercive action against Rajeshwari reality, grants interim relief

Delhi RERA directs NBCC not to take coercive action for electricity & maintenance dues against Rajeshwari Realty until appeal is heard.

"directed NBCC not to initiate any coercive action against the applicant until the next date of hearing - Delhi RERA Order"

New Delhi, February 18

The Delhi Real Estate Regulatory Authority has directed NBCC Ltd. not to take any coercive action against Rajeshwari Realty Pvt. Ltd. over electricity or maintenance dues while an appeal in the matter is pending before the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal.

The order was passed by a bench comprising Chairperson Anand Kumar and Member Devesh Singh. During the hearing, counsel for both sides informed the Authority that NBCC has already filed an appeal with REAT, but no stay has been granted to date. The appeal is listed for hearing on March 9, 2026.

Counsel appearing for Rajeshwari Realty told the Authority that NBCC had issued a demand letter dated January 30, 2026, seeking payment of electricity dues. The applicant requested that the PSU be restrained from taking coercive recovery steps for electricity or maintenance charges while the appeal remains pending.

Taking note of the submissions and the pendency of the appeal, the Authority directed NBCC not to initiate any coercive action against the applicant until the next date of hearing. The matter has been listed before the Delhi RERA for further proceedings on March 18, 2026.

The dispute is part of a larger ongoing disagreement between NBCC and Rajeshwari Realty regarding a commercial project in Saket. In earlier proceedings, issues relating to the project's regulatory status and compliance under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, were contested, after which NBCC moved the appellate tribunal challenging the regulator's directions.

Rajeshwari Realty, one of the major allottees in the project, approached RERA seeking interim protection after fresh payment demands were raised by NBCC. The Authority's latest direction ensures that no recovery measures are taken against the allottee while the appellate process continues.

Finally some relief for the common person! These big companies think they can just bully everyone. Electricity and maintenance are essential services, you can't just threaten to cut them off when there's a court case going on. Hope REAT gives a fair hearing in March.

While I understand the need for interim relief, I hope Rajeshwari Realty is not just using legal loopholes to delay legitimate payments. NBCC is also a public sector company, and its dues matter. The courts need to settle this quickly - 2026 is too far away for the next hearing!

The Saket project has been in the news before. It's good to see RERA stepping in proactively. This is exactly why the Act was brought in - to regulate and protect stakeholders. The interim order seems balanced.

Typical Delhi real estate saga. Builder vs PSU, courts, appeals... the only people who suffer are the end-users who have invested their life savings. Hope this gets resolved before 2026, otherwise maintenance and amenities will keep suffering. 🙏

As someone who works in corporate law, this is a standard procedural order. "No coercive action" is common when an appeal is pending. It maintains the status quo. The real test will be the REAT hearing. The 2016 RERA Act has definitely changed the game for real estate disputes.
