But liability to pay the delay compensation or relief to the consumer in case of delay shall be borne by him. By that time this RERA Act has already came into force. Therefore, the Authority has to decide the quantum of compensation per month as delay compensation. 12. As per Section 18(1) proviso the consumer who is not going to withdraw the project shall be paid with interest by the promoter including the compensation. During the course of calculating the delay compensation the Authority has to look into Section 72 of the RERA Act. The Developer has failed to complete the project on or before September 2017 but however the project is going on and will be completed as per the schedule given to the RERA. As per Sec. 18 by the Act Delay Compensation has to be paid with interest as prescribed.

Its losses as given at page 1115 show an increase from Rs. 20.11 crore as on 31.03.2017 to Rs. 29.10 crore as on 2017-18. Thus it is seen that the Company been showing increasingly borrowings and losses, and reducing cash flow over the years. This indicates an unhealthy financial status with regard to its ability to pay its debts. Therefore, the Company, apart from failing to complete the projects in question so as to deliver Flats as agreed upon between the parties, is prima facie insolvent. We are also not convinced with the financial status of the Company filed by the Respondent, as per Brief note dated 07.02.2020. Since the Respondent has failed to come forward to settle the issue raised in the instant Company Petition, there is no other alternative for the Adjudicating Authority except to consider the case as per merits. 19.
