Possession delayed? here is what to do

Many of the builders promise to deliver the homes in time but fail due to several reasons, this will end up the  to-be home-owner without a roof on his head, and paying his current house rents will be a burden as well along with the EMI's.

It's the builders' duty to deliver the property on time, the legal actions available which are to be taken against the default builder are given below




1. Filing a legal case


You can file a legal case on the builder if he doesn't deliver the home in the given period. RERA  takes a 
Written affidavit from the builder before starting the  construction. The promoter should give the 
declaration with an affidavit promising the date in which it will be completed. If he fails RERA should ideally take the case, but if it doesn't happen, you should be taking up the legalities.

2. Complaint in consumer court 


You can always file a complaint in the customer court, where you can claim for deficiency of service, which is about the false promise made and the opportunity loss which is pertaining the loss of opportunity in buying a better property.

You can also ask for the compensation on the rent or lease paying to the present accommodation or you can ask him to fetch property in the same or same kind of neighbourhood until the possession.


4. Claim Interest on the refund:

You can also claim interest on the amount paid upto now. RERA has put a special clause on this aspect. 



5. File a Criminal Case:


False promise for the own benefit is a crime, the builder while advertising his property gives sucl a false promises and falls default after should be punished in the court of law.

What is the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and why is it important?

What exactly is RERA

As there are many regulatory authorities in India for every industry. There is RERA for Real estate sector. It was a bill passed on March 7th, 2016 in parliament for the well-being of the home buyers and to help them from fraudulent builders and developers who make false claims to sell their properties. 500 sq meters of Land development or 8 apartments is the criteria for a property to qualify for RERA.

Builders and developers in bangalore


Importance of  RERA

RERA  Authorizes all the activities a developer perform from planning to delivery such as


  •  Types of homes for sale,
  •  Site plans like master and floor plans, 
  • Down payment and EMI Schedules 
  • Completion dates(Stages of) 
  • Updates on the status of the project

As RERA has all the authority from Schedule to completion, there will be no discrepancies in terms of deliverables of the project.
RERA is really a boon to homebuyers, builders and developers in Bangalore too.


The impact of RERA on real estate

The builder can’t commit to providing any amenities or services which is not there or is unrealistic. The builder or an individual should face legalities just in case they are found in any such fraud. Buyer should also be aware of the important compliances involved.

  • 70% of the amount for the project from the buyers has to be maintained in a separate bank account, to be utilized for the construction of the specific project only.
  • Increased affirmation on the timely finishing of projects and conveyance to the purchaser.
  • An increment in the construction quality due to responsibility on any defect for five years.
  • Sharing data on project design, layout, necessary approvals, sub-contractors, land title status.
  • The project should be Certified by an engineer, an architect and a chartered accountant in practice.
  • Formation of RWA (Resident Welfare Association) inside determined time or 3 months after dominant part of units have been sold.

Benefits of RERA

There are many benefits which incur to the buyer when we are talking about RERA

  • The carpet area standardization is one of these, before the RERA act is passed, the carpet area was not defined properly. The carpet area calculation had been going wrong before, which led to many misunderstandings on the pricing part.
  • Promoters are not allowed to advertise without a RERA  number, this itself filters out the genuine listing rather than buyers filtering out.
  • As said earlier, the funds are deposited in the account which is  exclusive to the development of the particular project, before RERA the fraudulent builders used to divert these funds to their favourite project. This is subsequently irradiated.
  • If the possession is delayed, the buyer has all the rights to claim a refund.
