Builder delaying possession of your flat?

Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, if a builder fails to give possession on time, you can withdraw and get a refund with interest, or stay in the project and get interest for every month of delay. A lawyer files your complaint with UP RERA or Delhi RERA.

FAQ

Builder delaying possession of your flat?: common questions

Refund or delay interest — which should I choose?+

It depends on how far the project has progressed and your needs. A lawyer can compare both before you file.

Can I also go to consumer court?+

Homebuyers can generally choose between RERA and the Consumer Commission, but shouldn't pursue the same relief in both at the same time.

Is it free to submit my problem on LawPaw?+

Yes. Telling us your problem and getting a call back from your coordinator is free. You pay only if you decide to go ahead.

What will I have to pay?+

Up to three things, all told to you in writing before you pay: (1) LawPaw's convenience fee for coordinating your matter, (2) the professional's fee, which they quote, and (3) government charges such as court fees or stamp duty, at actual cost. GST applies as per law. There are no hidden charges.
