RERA Rules for Redevelopment in India: What You Need to Know

RERA Complaints: Safeguarding Your Real Estate Interests in 2024

Owning a house is a common dream, yet the journey to homeownership can be riddled with complications. To streamline this process and protect buyers, the RERA Act was introduced in 2016. RERA, or Real Estate Regulatory Authority, is a government initiative ensuring transparency and credibility in the real estate sector.

Established due to dwindling trust in realty dealings, RERA mandates each state to maintain its official website. This platform highlights specific state real estate laws and provides avenues for speedy grievance resolution.

If homebuyers encounter discrepancies between promised offerings and actual deliverables, they can lodge an RERA complaint via the state’s site. This article delves into the official websites and the complaint process.

Filing a Case under RERA

Who Can File a RERA Complaint?

Homebuyers can file a RERA complaint against a builder, developer, promoter, or real estate agent for any violation or contravention of the provisions mentioned under the RERA Act. It is a convenient and hassle-free way to seek redressal for any grievances related to the property.

Any home buyer can file a complaint if:

1. The handover of the possession is delayed
2. The quality of construction is poor
3. There is low ventilation on the property
4. The maintenance cost charges are too high
5. There are some unsettled claims to the property
6. The developer/builder is refusing to hand over the cost plan regarding spending on the property to the buyer

 RERA case filing is usually done for two specific reasons. It is either to claim interest on delayed possession or to withdraw from the project. Then the builder refunds the amount already paid with the appropriate interest amount. 

Execution under RERA

Section 40 of the RERA Act describes how the judgement passed by the RERA authority or the Adjudicating officer will be executed. If the developer defects from complying with the orders of the RERA tribunal ( which either includes monetary compensation or interest paid on delayed possession), this amount will be recovered from the developer as arrears inland revenue. The affected person can file an execution application to enforce the execution of the Tribunal’s orders. 

On application, a hearing is held wherein if the opposite party gives justifiable reasons for non-compliance, then there is a consideration. Otherwise, it would enforce the collection of land revenues via collectors and issue a Recovery Certificate( RC). There is no fixed execution application fee since it varies from state to state.

How to lodge a builder complaint in RERA?

Follow these few steps to register your RERA complaint successfully. 

1. First, visit the state’s official RERA website. Now search for the complaint registration page of the site.
2. Click on the page or the link of complaint registration, wherein you will be redirected to a RERA complaint form. Here you must fill in all the required details about your complaint.
3. Please note that you will have to furnish some personal information like name, address, contact number, etc. and supporting documents. This is to verify the authenticity of the complainant.
4. Once the form has been duly filled, you can file a complaint by paying Rs 1000. If you complain to an Adjudicating officer, you need to pay Rs 5000. You can complete this transaction online efficiently.

RERA complain format 

Here is a RERA complaint form sample for your reference.

The RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) complaint procedure and the specific form to use vary from state to state in India. Each state (and Union Territory) has its own RERA website where they provide details about filing complaints, including the appropriate forms and the documentation required.

State/Union Territory	RERA Complaint Form
Karnataka	Form N
Delhi	Form M

Do you know your RERA complaint status?

Each state has their own designated RERA website wherein you can check both your RERA approval ( for projects) and RERA case status. It is a mandatory requirement for all states to have their dedicated RERA portal, as mentioned in the Real Estate( Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

 Pending cases under the NCDRC

Earlier, if any case is pending in the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, the aggrieved party cannot apply to RERA with the same complaint. This is because the RERA Act doesn’t have any such provisions for transferring pending real estate cases to the RERA authorities. However, one can apply with the same complaint once the RERA passes its judgement and the aggrieved party is not satisfied. 

The time frame for dispute resolution under RERA

As mentioned in the RERA guidelines, once an aggrieved party files a complaint to the rera authority, it should be disposed of within 60 days from filing it. The RERA conciliation forum has been instrumental in resolving home buyers’ grievances fast and efficiently. This helps save the money and time that gets wasted on litigations.

The benefits of filing a case under the RERA

RERA has been developed keeping in mind the home buyers. Therefore, all guidelines and regulations have been set up to completely protect the buyer’s interests. These are some of the benefits of filing a complaint under RERA:

• Builders and real estate agents are obligated to fulfil all their promises in their respective contracts. Non-compliance to this can result in agents losing their licence or their eligibility to transact in such property deals.
• All RERA complaints are addressed with sincerity and use the FastTrack method to address grievances as quickly as possible. 
• Once a buyer receives a grievance redressal against a particular buyer, it also alarms the other buyers transacting with the same builder/agent. 
• Since RERA solely deals with real estate issues and complaints, RERA has been helpful to buyers in providing foolproof solutions to property grievances.

Homebuyers are free to approach consumers for a dispute, RERA, rules SC

In a benchmark ruling on November 2, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled that an aggrieved home buyer can approach RERA and the Consumer Court with their complaints. In an earlier case, many developers complained that the customer could not file the same complaint with these organisations. However, this was ruled out, and it was mandated that home buyers are given the choice of filing complaints under the RERA Act or the Consumer rights Act.

RERA and grievance redressal mechanism

Now that you know how to file complaints against a builder in RERA, let’s see how the complaint redressal mechanism works. 

1. First of all, the home buyer needs knowledge of the jurisdiction their complaint belongs to and the proper authority to seek help. You can file a complaint in any Indian state to the State Tribunal, any RERA authority or Adjudicating Officer. 
2. Each state has their utility( offline/online) regarding complaints submission.
3. The complaint should have all the required details about the transaction, including the full details of the parties involved. 
4. The authority then issues a RERA complaint number to the complainant so that they can track the progress in the case.
5. The complainant is then called and given the complete set of document copies required. These documents should also be provided to the other party concerned.
6. The builder or the other party is then required to file a response to the complaint that has been raised.
7. The respective authority is now responsible for mandating the builder’s actions or what the other party should do. On non-compliance with this order, the person can be charged with a hefty monetary penalty or imprisonment.

You must have a clear idea about how you file a RERA Complaint. You can apply online or approach the RERA authority of the jurisdiction where the property in question is situated.

HRERA for homebuyers:

HRERA Haryana is crucial for homebuyers due to several reasons. Firstly, if a developer fails to meet the delivery guidelines, the act enables existing homeowners to receive interest at a prescribed rate as a penalty. This rate varies across states. Additionally, the act mandates developers to deposit 70% of the collected amount for new homebuyers, preventing funds from being diverted to other projects.Furthermore, HRERA imposes a limit on the total commission charged by property dealers, capping it at 1% for both the seller and buyer. The act is particularly significant in cases where developers abandon projects, leaving homebuyers in a state of uncertainty. To protect buyers further, HRERA ensures that developers can only sell their projects once they obtain the necessary clearances.

To facilitate resolution of disputes between builders and buyers in Haryana RERA registered projects, the Haryana real estate appellate tribunal and related regulatory bodies work towards timely resolutions within 120 days.

Here’s How the RERA Telangana Has Helped Maintain the State Real Estate

The real estate sector in the country has always been shrouded in corruption and money laundering. The repeated cases have impacted people’s attitudes towards the real estate sector. To curb this and ensure a more transparent system, the Government of India introduced the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act in 2016, which was then gradually adopted and run by all the state governments, including Telangana. Today, we delve deeper into how the RERA Telangana works.

RERA Telangana

Before, the real estate sector was largely unregulated, and people used to shy away from investing in real estate. But this situation took a turn when the government of India introduced the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act in 2016 which would create standardized rules and regulations to maintain transparency in the real estate sector. The RERA Telangana Act came into force in May 2017 with 92 sections.

Purpose Of RERA Act Telangana

The real estate sector is largely unregulated and has also led to a lot of unrequited expense burdens on the buyer, promoter and more, such as brokerage fees.

After all, the sector was in a major need of some standard transactions in the real estate industry, more transparency in the transactions taking place, as well as assured that all the grievances from all parties were being addressed in an objective, legal forum. The purpose of introducing the RERA rules in Telangana was, therefore, to protect the interests of all buyers and sellers where all are treated equally and just, as they should be. Today RERA has not only helped bring in more efficiencies along the entire real estate value chain but also enrich it with new opportunities. Simply laid out, however, the following are the reasons the TS RERA Act was necessary.

Purpose of the TS RERA Act:

• To bring transparency and efficiency between buyers and sellers in the real estate sector.
• To properly regulate and promote the real estate sector.
• To safeguard the interests of the consumer. Earlier consumer grievances had to be settled in consumer courts which was a lengthy affair. The Telangana RERA ensures that the buyer’s interests are not overlooked. A specialized Appellate Tribunal has also been established for quick grievance redressal.
• To maintain an official website containing a detailed record of all real estate agents and projects registered with the TsRERA.

Buyers can rest assured about their investments since only Telangana rera approved projects will have a registration search number and can market their projects. Furthermore, if there is any delay in project completion, the developer has to pay a 2% interest rate above SBI’s marginal cost of lending rate to the buyer.

RERA Maharashtra Demystified: Know Your Rights as a Homebuyer

 RERA Maharashtra, the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act of 2016, was finally set into motion in May of 2017. This law aimed to implement, guide, and supervise the real estate sector in the state of Maharashtra. The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority, which is known as the Maharashtra RERA or MahaRERA for short, is the body that governs the real estate sector in the state.

What is MahaRERA?

 The difference between RERA and Maha-RERA is that, while the RERA act enables prospective buyers to decide where they would like to invest their money, RERA Maharashtra looks after the regulation and development of real estate projects, the process of registration of real estate agents, rates of interest and disclosures within the state of Maharashtra. This is carried out through the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority which is generally referred to as “MahaRERA”, which runs on the Maharashtra RERA portal.

Some of the key features that are included on the RERA website in Maharashtra are as follows.

1. To carry out the process to vet and verify the real estate projects and get new agents registered.
2. To bring transparency into the sale of flats, plots and buildings within the state of Maharashtra.
3. To protect customers, allottees, real estate agents and also those promoters who are involved in the process of real estate transactions.
4. To be able to come to a solution and to be able to resolve disputes through settlement methods.
5. To create a channel that customers can find easy to approach when they need help to resolve a dispute.
6. To provide recommendations to the appropriate government authorities in matters which are related to the development and promotion of real estate in the state.

Within the state of Maharashtra, the registrations under RERA Maharashtra on the Maharashtra RERA website are compulsory for each and every residential and commercial project that is set up. Another sphere that the body oversees, is that it ensures that real estate builders do not advertise for property, book or sell any real estate without registration because this is not permitted as per the act.

RERA Act: Definition of Carpet Area

Carpet area, built-up area, and super built-up area are three methods for calculating the size of a property. As a result, when it comes to purchasing a home, there can be a significant disparity between what you pay and what you receive. The RERA defines carpet area as the net usable floor area of an apartment, omitting the area covered by exterior walls, areas beneath services shafts, exclusive balcony or verandah area, and exclusive open terrace area, but including the area covered by the flat’s internal partition walls.

RERA-approved projects: Which projects can get RERA approval?

Below are the basic characteristics of a RERA registered project

• Commercial and residential developments, as well as plotted developments.
• Projects with a total area of more than 500 square metres or eight units.
• Projects that were not completed before the Act went into effect.
• The project will not be covered by RERA if it is solely for renovation, repair, or redevelopment and does not include re-allotment, marketing, advertising, selling, or fresh allotment of any plots, apartments or buildings in the real estate project.
• Each phase will be treated as a separate real estate project that will require a new registration.

How to file a complaint under RERA?

The Head of Policy, RICS, Digbijoy Bhowmik explains – “Complaints can be filed under Section 31 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, either with the RERA full form – Real Estate Regulatory Authority or the adjudicating officer. Such complaints may be against promoters, allottees and/or real estate agents. Most state government rules made pursuant to the RERA, have laid out the procedure and form in which such applications can be made. In the case of Chandigarh UT or Uttar Pradesh, for instance, these are placed as Form ‘M’ or Form ‘N’ (common with most other states and union territories).” A complaint filed under the RERA must be submitted in the format specified by the state’s laws. Within the stipulated time limit, say a RERA complaint in Pune a complaint can be lodged against a project registered under RERA for breach or disobedience of the act’s provisions or the rules and regulations enacted under RERA.

It also facilitates homebuyers and property investors to be better informed when they are making a decision. Users of this website can use it to be able to find information related to the expected date of possession, the credibility of brokers, etc, which shall help them greatly.

Thus, they can be planned in advance.

4. Buyer friendly:

They also handle delays in the completion of projects stringently; in case of delay in project completion. If the project is delayed, then if the allottees/buyers do not want to withdraw from the project that they have booked, then the builders are required, by the law to compensate the buyers by way of refunding money to the buyers’/ allottees, along with interest. This is decided at a pre-set rate that is decided for every month of delay till the time the developer hands over 

The Benefits of RERA Maharashtra

1. Sper high levels of transparency:

Before the introduction of the RERA Act, there was a void in the space of transparency that existed in the real estate sector. Because of this, the buyers were left at the mercy of developers to obtain possession of property that they have/had purchased. Also, promoters and developers could publish non-factual advertisements, etc, and this would mislead the people. Though, now, with the introduction of Maharashtra RERA registration, the consumer is provided with all the necessary information that is related to the project that he/she has purchased. The developer has to, by the law, adhere to the registration of the project with RERA. The builder is also expected to report on its progress, intimate about delays if any. If delays are incurred, for whatever reason, the developer may be penalised. In addition to the above, the buyers have the right to question each step involved in both the development and promotion of the construction and the advertising of the home.

2. Adherence to law and order:

Now, post-RERA Maharashtra coming into force, there is no scope for developers to channel the funds that are collected from investors and then redirect them to some of their other projects. The down payment rate has also been fixed at 10%. And, noncompliance to RERA provisions attracts penal action of imprisonment for a span of up to 3 years in addition to a financial penalty.

3. Accountability:

It has been made mandatory for the developers to deposit a sum of 70% of all the funds that are paid towards a particular project into a single account. These funds are then to be used only for construction or cost of land purposes exclusively. The developers must also report progress periodically on the project to the regulatory authorities, and failure to do so could lead to recrimination. 

4. Increased trust:

Perhaps the most significant benefit that customers have is the reinforced trust in the real estate sector because of RERA Maharashtra. This has led to a reinvigoration of the industry and greater confidence among property buyers. 

The RERA Maharashtra portal is indeed one of the best-equipped tools online with provisions, that make it easy for the user to find their abodes at their convenience, keeping in mind MAHA RERA rules.

RERA Bill 2016 Guide – Real Estate Regulation and Development Act 2016

Are you scared to buy a home after hearing about various housing scams, cheating scandals, and bribe stories? Well, with the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 you have nothing left to worry about. This Act has taken over 8 years to come into effect and is here to protect you as a consumer when you’re looking to invest in Real Estate.

What is the RERA Act about?

RERA Act was created to transparency between buyers, owners, and promoters of property. With this Act in place, you’ll see a reduction of disputes related to the Real Estate in India and an increase of investment in the real estate sector. As a consumer, the Act is created to protect your rights and ensure timely delivery of projects. You can also be sure of the property that you purchase from now on as every project first needs to be registered with the Real Estate Regulatory authorities.

Key Features of the RERA Act

• This act is created by the central government and not the state government, this means that builders can’t use friendship or family ties to bend these laws in their cities.
• All commercial and residential real estate projects with land over 500 square meters or more than 8 apartments should register under this Act.
• No property can be sold or promoted unless they are registered under the RERA Act. Failure to register the property can lead to the builder facing a 10% penalty or up to three years in prison.
  

The builder should return the amount you paid as well as compensate you if he fails to give you possession of the house as per the sales agreement.

The act also mandates for a seller to specify the carpet area instead of the saleable area so that you’re fully aware of what you’re paying for. This will also reduce discrepancies in pricing.

If there are any changes in the structures of the project, the developer must take the permission of at least two-thirds of the buyers.  This would ensure that what you see is what you get and it can’t be done without everyone’s knowledge.

The liability of the developer to repair the structural defects has been increased from 2 to 5 years, this means he is held responsible for longer.

Real Estate agents or brokers are required to register themselves under this Act. If they don’t, they may be subject to imprisonment.

Are you wondering what happens to Projects that are Under Construction? 

Well, in this case, if construction is still ongoing when the Act is enforced and the builders have not yet got a completion certificate, they are required to register for the Act within 3 months of the Act being enforced. In other words, this Act does not apply to projects that have received a completion certificate prior to the commencement of this Act.

Now that the act has been enforced in Karnataka all buyers can heave a sigh of relief. Buying real estate is now safer and more transparent.
