RERA Insights
Common questions homebuyers and developers bring to us — drawn from our RERA practice across Lucknow, Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.
How to File a Complaint Before UP-RERA
A homebuyer complaint before UP-RERA typically begins with the builder-buyer agreement, payment receipts, and correspondence showing the delay or default — filed on the prescribed form along with the requisite fee.
Ask Us About This →What Counts as 'Possession Delay' Under RERA?
The date committed in the builder-buyer agreement — not marketing timelines — determines delay. Once that date passes without a valid occupancy certificate, buyers can typically claim interest or seek a refund.
Ask Us About This →Builder-Buyer Disputes: Documents You Will Need
Allotment letter, payment schedule, sale/builder-buyer agreement, demand and payment receipts, and any project registration or occupancy certificate details strengthen a RERA complaint.
Ask Us About This →RERA Appeals: What Is the Time Limit and Pre-Deposit?
An appeal to the RERA Appellate Tribunal must be filed within 60 days of the Authority’s order under Section 44(2) — and where the appeal is filed by a promoter, Section 43(5) requires a pre-deposit of at least 30% of the penalty or amount due before the appeal is entertained.
