In 2011, CCI had found DLF violating fair trade norms and abusing its dominant position and imposed a penalty of Rs 630 crore. This as a complaint was filed by Belaire Owners Association, Gurgaon - the owners’ association of a DLF project. The association alleged that DLF imposed highly arbitrary, unfair and unreasonable conditions on allottees of apartments and these conditions had serious adverse effects and ramifications on the rights of the buyers.
