New Delhi: Realty player Unitech Ltd has been asked by National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) to refund Rs 1 crore to two of its customers for failing to give possession of a flat even after a delay of six years, according to news reports. 

The consumer court ordered Unitech Ltd to refund Rs1,06,57,663 to   Swaroop Nandakumar and D Rameshbabu in three months for delay in delivering an apartment in ‘The Exquisite’ Nirvana Country 2 project by the realty firm. The project was to be developed in Gurugram.

The company has been ordered to pay a penalty of interest at 10 percent per annum on money deposited by the two home buyers.
