Complaints, appeals, refunds, possession and builder-buyer disputes under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) was introduced to bring transparency and accountability to the real estate sector – protecting homebuyers and regulating builders and developers. Builder–buyer disputes are among the most common real estate issues, often arising from delayed completion, missing approvals or failure to obtain clearances from land-owning or government authorities.

Choose a lawyer with sound knowledge of real estate law and RERA procedure. Dr. Gaurav Manuja assists clients with complaints and appeals before RERA authorities across builder–buyer disputes, project delays, refund claims and possession disputes.
Fees depend on the project and the complexity of the case. If a legal notice is likely to secure possession or a timely refund, fees may be lower; where a builder refuses possession, delays indefinitely or commits fraud, multiple proceedings may be needed. Approximate fees for RERA appeals generally start from ₹50,000, and may vary with the facts and legal requirements.
Criminal proceedings may punish a builder for cheating, but compensation is usually recovered through civil remedies such as RERA complaints, appeals or civil litigation. Dr. Gaurav Manuja guides clients in choosing the most effective course of action.
