RERA Complaints in Punjab & Haryana: When and How to File
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 gives homebuyers a dedicated forum — separate from ordinary civil courts — to raise complaints against builders and promoters. For delayed possession, undisclosed changes to a project, or refund disputes, RERA is often faster and more specialized than general civil litigation.
What RERA typically covers
- Delay in handing over possession beyond the date committed in the agreement
- Deviation from sanctioned plans or promised specifications
- Refund of amount paid, with interest, where a project is delayed or abandoned
- Compensation claims against a promoter for failing statutory obligations
Before filing
It helps to have the builder-buyer agreement, payment receipts, and any written correspondence about delays or deviations organized before filing. RERA authorities move on documentary evidence, so a clear paper trail matters more here than in many other forums.
