Filing a GujRERA complaint against a builder for a Vadodara project is an online process that has become increasingly effective as Gujarat's RERA authority has developed its enforcement capacity. Let me walk you through every step specific to Gujarat so you know exactly what to prepare and what to expect.

First, verify that your project is registered with GujRERA at gujrera.gujarat.gov.in. Every real estate project in Gujarat with a land area over 500 square metres or more than 8 units must be GujRERA-registered before the builder can advertise or sell any unit. On the portal you can check the project's registration status, the registered possession date, approved plans, and the builder's quarterly compliance updates. GujRERA has been active on Vadodara projects — tracking projects on Waghodia Road, Gotri-Sevasi, and Vasna Bhayli corridors for QPR compliance.

The complaint process: register on the GujRERA portal as a complainant, complete your KYC, and choose the correct complaint form — a complaint to the Authority under Section 31 for violations of the Act (delayed possession, plan changes, failure to maintain escrow) or a complaint to the Adjudicating Officer for compensation under Sections 12, 14, 18, and 19 for monetary losses and delay interest. The filing fee is typically ₹1,000. Upload your complete documentation: allotment letter, registered agreement for sale, all payment receipts with dates, the agreed possession date from the contract, and all written correspondence with the builder about delays or issues. The GujRERA Authority, whose office is in Gandhinagar, issues notice to the builder and schedules hearings — which for Vadodara cases are typically conducted via video conference or require appearance in Gandhinagar. Orders that GujRERA passes can be enforced as civil court decrees. Appeals from GujRERA orders lie to the Gujarat HC at Ahmedabad.

Before filing, send a formal written notice to the builder demanding remedy by a specific date. The RERA advocates at the Vadodara panel of Aapka Legal Advice can draft the complaint, identify the specific RERA provisions violated, and represent you at hearings before GujRERA in Gandhinagar.
