File RERA complaints: Step-by-Step guide

Step 1 – To file a complaint with RERA authority you need to visit your state's official RERA portal. For example, to file a complaint with Haryana RERA you need to visit the portal https://haryanarera.gov.in/ and click on Registration of Complaint with HRERA Authority to start

Step 2 – Once you click on the above link, the online RERA complain form will appear.

Step 3 – You need to submit your name, address, Contact details, and project details. Attach supporting documents such as builder-buyer agreement, project advertisement, brochure, etc.

Step 4 – After filling up the form, you need to pay a sum of INR 1000 for filing a complaint before RERA. If you are filling complain before adjudicating officer, the fee would be INR 5000. You can pay the complaint fee online or via check.

The complaint can be filed as soon as there is an apprehension that the builder will not be able to deliver the property within the stipulated time period. In any manner, it is best to file a complaint as soon as the term of the agreement expires.

Yes, an association of persons (eg. a Welfare Association of Home Buyers) may file a case against the builder. The following are the requirements for filing a complaint as an association:
  • The association may be registered or unregistered.

Will RERA increase property prices?

The act will surely have an upward impact on the prices for residential properties, but not in the short-term.

With so much inventory lying withing existing projects, a market correction will take 3-4 years. Here are some impacts or RERA which we will see in the next five years.

  • Small players will be wiped out.
  • Market will consolidate
  • The RERA Act makes it mandatory to sell on the carpet area. The Indian real estate market has been transacting on the super-built-up area, which is 25-30 percent higher. The per square fit rate adjustments will happen in the coming years.
  • Once the current inventory is sold, there will be limited supply.
  • The builders will have pressure to complete in time, the focus will shift to completing the projects from launching a new one.
  • The burden of Structural Defects shifted on developers, they will add this cost to project prices.
