Real World Assets and Resident Welfare Associations: Gurgaon Panel Orders Refund of Excess Power Charges

Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission Directs RWA and Developer on Electricity Billing Compliance

In Gurgaon, the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission told the Uniworld Gardens II RWA and Unitech Realty Pvt Ltd to stick to the rules for electricity billing. The RWA must return the extra money taken from residents. The panel set a fine of Rs 50,000 for the RWA. They must comply within 30 days. A fine will grow each day if they do not follow the order.

Dispute Over Single Point Supply Electricity Tariffs

The issue involves power sent from a single point supply system by Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam to Uniworld Gardens II. Gurgaon resident Naresh Kumar Jindal filed a case. He pointed to the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum’s order from September 2022 that was not put in force.

Key points in this matter:

• The builder charged residents Rs 6.1 per unit. DHBVN set a rate of Rs 5.25 per unit.
• The builder added a daily fee of Rs 139 along with fixed charges for the prepaid meter. These costs did not match the usual tariff rules.
• The builder collected Rs 58,683 as a connection fee. Nearly Rs 60 lakh in total was held back instead of being reimbursed.

Regulatory Enforcement Despite Supreme Court Moratorium

Unitech Realty mentioned a Supreme Court order from January 2020 in the Bhupinder Singh vs. Unitech Ltd case. That order formed a new board and stopped some actions against the firm and its wings. HERC said that the Court’s order does not free the company from meeting electric billing rules. The resident argued that the tariff rules still hold. The panel did not let Unitech use the order to avoid following the rules.

Implications for Real World Assets and Consumers

This matter talks about electricity billing while also touching on clear rules for asset management. Real estate assets need steady utility management for the sake of residents and buyers. The case shows:

• RWAs must follow clear price and billing rules.
• Rules for utility billing must be kept by all parties.
• Legal decisions shape the way consumers get safe services in real estate.

Summary

The HERC ruling in Gurgaon shows the need for strict rule checks in managing utilities and billing in real estate assets. The decision stands for giving money back and imposing fines for breaking the rules, even when there is a broader legal order in place. This order sets a mark for accountability in real estate management as RWAs work with new financial tools.
