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.

Haryana Rera dismissed multiple homebuyer complaints, citing jurisdictional issues and prior relief. One case involved a maintenance security deposit dispute outside Rera’s purview. Other dismissals were for additional compensation claims on delayed possession, as allottees had already received statutory interest for the delay.

Uttar Pradesh RERA has fined two Lucknow developers a total of ₹2.43 crore. The penalties stem from repeated failures to upload mandatory quarterly progress reports for their registered projects. This action underscores the authority’s commitment to transparency in real estate development. Promoters are urged to comply with RERA regulations to avoid strict regulatory measures and financial penalties.

Odisha Real Estate Appellate Tribunal upheld a Rs 3 lakh penalty against a promoter for handing over flats without an occupancy certificate and ORERA registration. The tribunal found the promoter’s completion certificate doubtful and noted the builder failed to respond to show-cause notices, dismissing the appeal.

Haryana Rera has ordered Burman Estate Pvt Ltd to pay delay possession charges to two allottees for their serviced apartment in Gurgaon Spectrum Centre. The developer failed to offer possession by the stipulated March 15, 2021 deadline, despite the Occupation Certificate being issued. Rera rejected the developer’s plea for a second Covid-19 related extension.

Telangana authorities have empowered homebuyers to complete stalled housing projects after a builder’s default, a first under the RERA Act. Flat owners formed associations to finish construction on two projects by Jayathri Infrastructures. This move safeguards investments and ensures project completion, with one project already finished and another underway.

Odisha Real Estate Appellate Tribunal upheld conditions set by ORERA for a housing project’s third phase registration. The promoter cannot execute sale agreements without re-validated building plan approval or occupancy certificate. This follows a land record dispute and a previous NGT order halting construction. The tribunal emphasized protecting homebuyers, stating corrected land records are crucial for valid agreements and possession.

Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has 6,366 unresolved complaints as of December 2025, despite efforts to reduce the backlog. While the authority has resolved over 26,000 complaints since its inception, consumer bodies urge faster redressal mechanisms to address ongoing delays and ensure effective dispute resolution.
