RERA Complaint

RERA Complaint & Builder Dispute Resolution

Purchasing a home is one of the lifetime’s most valuable investments. Sadly, many homebuyers are confronted with possession delays, low-quality construction, concealed charges, or even unfinished projects.

What is RERA Complaint?

A RERA complaint is a legal formal action against a builder, developer, or real estate agent with the state’s RERA authority for breach of terms and conditions of the RERA Act.

Typical complaints are:

  • Delayed possession of property.
  • Failure to comply with project specifications.
  • Misleading advertisement or false representation.
  • Charging for unapproved facilities.
  • Project not registered with RERA.

 

RERA offers a platform for speedy redressal, usually within 60 days, compared to long-winding civil court cases.
