    Can a developer refuse handover for debts not in the sale agreement?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A developer may not refuse to hand over a completed unit or register it if the purchaser has fulfilled their contractual obligations for that specific unit. This handover must proceed even if the purchaser owes the developer other financial dues that are not related to the sale agreement of the unit itself. This protection ensures that developers cannot use a completed property as leverage for unrelated business disputes or secondary debts that were not part of the original property transaction.
