New Delhi: Before the implementation of Real Estate Regulation and Development Act (RERA) in 2017, homebuyers had no other way to complaint against their developer except the consumer court in case of either a delay in project completion or in case of a mismatch in what was promised and what was actually delivered. But now with many states implementing RERA, homebuyers cheated by builders can approach the authority to take action against the developer. In the recent past, there have been many such instances where the complainant has been compensated for delayed possession and misrepresentation by the builder.
The MahaRERA in a recent adjudication allowed the complainant to withdraw from the project and directed the company to refund Rs1.9 crore with interest, and pay a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for misrepresentation on access to amenities offered. So, if you feel that your developer has cheated your or has not delivered what it had promised earlier, then you can register a complaint with the respective state RERA.
