What are my rights against a builder under RERA?

Builder must deliver possession on time, provide refund with interest if delayed, give clear title, maintain quality, and cannot change plans without your consent.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) provides comprehensive protection to home buyers. Key rights include: builder must deliver possession by the promised date or pay interest for delay; you can claim full refund with interest if the builder fails to deliver; builder cannot change the layout or plans without two-thirds consent of buyers; builder must provide clear land title and all necessary approvals; builder must fix structural defects for 5 years after possession; builder must deposit 70% of project funds in a separate escrow account. File complaints with your State RERA Authority for any violations. Check if your project is RERA-registered at your state's RERA website.
