RERA Advisory & Dispute Resolution

Real-estate regulation addressed from project disclosure to final handover.

RERA places registration, disclosure, financial discipline and delivery obligations at the centre of real-estate development. Promoters, allottees and agents must navigate the central Act together with state or union-territory rules, authority orders and project-specific documents.

Avyaksham Legal LLP advises promoters, allottees, associations and real-estate agents on registration, disclosures, agreements, project changes, delayed possession, refund, interest, defects, complaints, appeals and enforcement under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

We examine the registered project information, approvals, allotment documents, payment record, construction status and communications before selecting a compliance or dispute strategy.

Practice Overview

RERA matters are document- and timeline-intensive. We create a project chronology linking registration disclosures, approvals, bookings, payments, contractual milestones, extensions and actual progress.

Core Principles
Project-specific document review
State-rule and authority-order awareness
Disclosure consistency

Remedy and forum selection

Key Practice Focus

Core Practice Capabilities

Project and Real-Estate Agent Registration

Legal support for applications, amendments, renewals and registration-related queries.

Strategic Perspective

Registration disclosures should be consistent with title, approvals, marketing, agreements, timelines and financial arrangements. Contradictions can create future compliance and dispute exposure.

Scope of Support & Execution

Project-registration applicability review
Phase and project-structure analysis
Application document and disclosure checklist
Promoter and land-owner arrangement review
Approval, commencement and title-document coordination
Extension and modification applications
Real-estate agent registration and renewal
Response to authority deficiencies and hearings

Promoter Compliance and Project Documentation

Ongoing legal support for registered projects and customer-facing documents.

Strategic Perspective

RERA compliance is not confined to portal filings. The project, customer communications and executed agreements must remain aligned with registered disclosures.

Scope of Support & Execution

Agreement-for-sale and allotment-document review
Advertisement and marketing disclosure review
Periodic project update and change-control support
Separate-account and fund-use legal issue spotting
Consent requirements for plan or project changes
Possession, completion and conveyance documentation
Association formation and common-area handover
Defect-liability and post-handover response

Allottee and Homebuyer Remedies

Advice and representation for delay, non-disclosure, cancellation, refund, interest, possession and quality disputes.

Strategic Perspective

The remedy should match the client's objective: possession, refund, interest, rectification, disclosure or enforcement. Different remedies require different evidence and may affect forum choice.

Scope of Support & Execution

Booking, allotment and agreement review
Delayed possession and interest claims
Refund and cancellation disputes
Demand and payment-schedule challenges
Area, specification and amenity disputes
Defect and incomplete-work claims
Conveyance and document-handover issues
Group or association strategy where appropriate

Complaints, Appeals and Regulatory Proceedings

Representation before the Authority, adjudicating officer, appellate tribunal and competent courts where maintainable.

Strategic Perspective

RERA proceedings should distinguish regulatory compliance, contractual entitlement and compensation. The chosen forum must have jurisdiction over the relief sought.

Scope of Support & Execution

Complaint and response drafting
Interim and urgent applications
Evidence, project record and calculation preparation
Hearings before the Authority or adjudicating officer
Penalty and compliance proceedings
Appeals and pre-deposit issue assessment
Writ and higher-forum remedy review
Settlement, consent terms and withdrawal

Enforcement and Project Resolution

Post-order and distressed-project support focused on actual compliance and delivery.

Strategic Perspective

An order is only one stage of resolution. Funding, construction, title, approvals and stakeholder coordination may determine whether the ordered relief can be implemented.

Scope of Support & Execution

Execution and recovery of ordered amounts
Compliance with possession, refund or disclosure directions
Project-extension and completion strategy
Association and stakeholder coordination
RERA and insolvency overlap issue spotting
Settlement implementation
Documentation for change of promoter or project control where permitted
Status and compliance reporting

Clarity & Insights

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RERA apply to every real-estate project?

No. Applicability depends on the Act, relevant rules, project type, size, status, phase and exemptions. A project-specific review is required.

Can a homebuyer seek refund for delay?

Refund, interest, possession or other relief may be available depending on the facts, contract, delay, statutory provisions and chosen forum.

Can a promoter change the sanctioned plan?

Some changes may require approvals and, depending on their nature, consent or disclosure. The exact requirement should be checked under the statute, rules and project documents.

Can a RERA order be appealed?

Yes, subject to the applicable limitation, maintainability and statutory conditions, including any pre-deposit requirement that may apply to the appellant.

Can RERA and insolvency proceedings overlap?

They can. Moratorium, claims, project status and forum jurisdiction may interact. The strategy should be coordinated rather than pursued in isolation.

Final Note

RERA disputes are best addressed through a complete project record: registered disclosures, approvals, agreement terms, payments, construction milestones and communications. That record supports both regulatory compliance and effective remedies.
