Haryana RERA has ordered Imperia Structures to pay homebuyers ₹55 lakh for lost property appreciation. The builder must also compensate for mental agony and litigation costs. Homebuyers booked an apartment in Gurugram’s ‘The Esfera’ project in 2013. Possession was promised by May 2017 but was delayed. The authority previously ordered a refund of ₹73.37 lakh.

Karnataka shows strong Rera activity with many complaints filed and resolved. This indicates a healthy real estate market and active buyer engagement. However, the actual execution of Rera orders, like getting money or keys, remains a significant hurdle. District administration bottlenecks slow down the process. Nationally, Uttar Pradesh leads in complaint filings.

Gujarat’s real estate and urban development departments are integrating GujRERA-registered projects with town planning data, utilizing the PM Gati Shakti platform for enhanced service delivery. This integration aims to spatially align projects with infrastructure, improve visibility of housing clusters, and support evidence-based urban governance for faster approvals and optimized investments.

UP-RERA has fined three real estate projects ₹5 lakh each for promoting and selling units without mandatory RERA registration. The authority found ‘Estate 105’, ‘Sobha Rivana’, and ‘Avikalp Estate’ in violation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. This action underscores RERA’s commitment to curbing unauthorized promotions and safeguarding homebuyer interests.

A Gurugram developer has been ordered by Rera to pay over Rs 21 lakh to a homebuyer for delayed possession. The compensation includes Rs 18.9 lakh for missed property appreciation, Rs 2 lakh for mental harassment, and Rs 50,000 for litigation costs. This ruling emphasizes that homebuyers can claim additional compensation beyond refunds for delays.

MahaRERA resolved a record 6,945 homebuyer complaints last year, significantly improving its disposal rate. While thousands of cases remain, hearings are underway for most. The authority is prioritizing older disputes and enhancing project scrutiny to protect buyers and ensure timely project completion, despite challenges in recovering dues from developers.

AP RERA chairman A Siva Reddy has mandated registration for housing projects exceeding 500 square metres or eight apartments. He highlighted the RERA Act’s role in promoting the construction sector and protecting homebuyers, with penalties for non-compliance. An opportunity for unregistered projects to register with a penalty subsidy is available until March 31.

Telangana RERA has imposed a record Rs 4.7 crore penalty on Bharathi Builders for illegal pre-launch sales of its ‘Bharathi Lake View Apartments’ project. The builder collected substantial amounts from buyers without RERA registration and failed to commence construction or deliver the project within the promised timeline. Aggrieved homebuyers will receive full refunds with interest.

Karnataka Real Estate Appellate Tribunal ruled that the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) must comply with RERA regulations, including project registration, as it acts as a promoter when developing and selling plots. The tribunal upheld a K-Rera order regarding the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, dismissing BDA’s appeal. This decision impacts over 10,000 families awaiting project completion.

Haryana Rera has issued a production warrant for Vipul Ltd director Punit Beriwala, currently in judicial custody, to appear before its adjudicating officer on March 13. This action is in connection with a homebuyer’s complaint against the realty firm regarding a real estate project dispute. The warrant ensures the case proceedings can continue despite Beriwala’s existing custody.
