Real Estate and RERA

Gurugram has more stalled and delayed housing projects than most cities in India, and buyers often have more than one forum open to them. Choosing between RERA, the consumer commission and, where a builder has failed, insolvency proceedings is the first decision we help clients make.

For businesses, we review title and approvals before a lease or purchase, and draft the documents that follow.

What we handle

• Delayed possession Interest for every month of delay, or a refund with interest, under Section 18 of RERA.
• Builder-buyer disputes Complaints before HRERA Gurugram and the consumer commissions.
• Insolvency of builders Homebuyers’ claims as financial creditors in proceedings against a developer.
• Due diligence Title, approvals and encumbrances before a purchase or lease.
• Documentation Sale deeds, leases, development agreements and collaboration agreements.

Questions clients ask

Can a builder be made to pay interest for delayed possession?

Yes. Under RERA, homebuyers can claim interest for every month of delay, or a refund with interest.

Should I go to RERA or the consumer commission?

Either may be open to you; the choice depends on the relief you want and the stage of the project, and is best made after looking at your agreement.
