Bought a flat but didn’t get promised amenities? Here's what homebuyers can do to seek justice
Bought a flat but promised amenities never arrived? RERA—the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act—lets you fight back. You can file a complaint online with state RERA, paying a small fee, and seek refund, cancellation or compensation. Builders can be fined, forced to correct ads, or even have project registration suspended. A Bengaluru buyer recently won after waiting six years for basic amenities.
Key Statutory Highlights
- If your flat's amenities don't match the builder's ads, you can report the misleading advertisement to RERA.
- RERA complaints can be filed online after registering on the portal, and a small fee is charged that varies by state.
- In a July case, a Bengaluru homebuyer won relief from Karnataka RERA after waiting more than six years for basic amenities.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Gather your supporting documents and file a RERA complaint online through your state's official RERA portal if promised amenities are missing.
