The Right to Service Commission has directed the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) to pay Rs 5,000 compensation each to four allottees who faced significant delays and harassment in their pursuit of plot allotments or refunds.

TC Gupta, Chief Commissioner of the Haryana Right to Service Commission, said these allottees had applied for plot allotments in the Industrial Growth Centre (IGC) Saha by submitting 10 per cent earnest money during the auction. However, due to a clerical error, they were mistakenly listed under Sector 1 instead of the intended Sector 7 in the IGC Saha (Ambala) on HSIIDC’s internal portal. This error led to the withholding of the Regular Allotment Letters for these allottees, which were not issued within the prescribed timeline.

When HSIIDC failed to provide the allotment letters within the stipulated time frame, the aggrieved allottees approached the Haryana Right to Service Commission. After hearing from the concerned authorities, the commission ruled each of the four allottees should be compensated with Rs 5,000 for the delay.

Furthermore, the commission instructed HSIIDC to recover the compensation amount from the officials responsible for the delay, with the identification of these officials to be carried out by the Managing Director (MD) of HSIIDC. The HSIIDC has been given a deadline of December 10 to report back to the Commission on compliance with the order, including the payment of the compensation.
