Beware of Penalty Clause
Several people were happily telling me 3 years back that the builder had a 2% pm penalty clause in case of project delay. Hahahaha
The clasue talked that "in case of delay in project beyond XYZ date, the builder will pay the buyer penalty at the rate of 2% pm on any extra moneys paid by buyer to builder."
Now, 3 years later, the project is delayed and buyer goes to builder for penalty. Builder talks that penalty is on EXTRA money paid by buyer. Since buyer has not paid any extra money (why should he?), no penalty is applicable
Hahahahahahahaha
