Builder Not Giving Possession – What Are My Options?
If you booked a flat in 2019 and have yet to receive possession, you may be wondering about your legal options. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), buyers are protected against undue delays in possession.
You have the right to file a complaint with the appropriate Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) if the builder fails to hand over possession as per the agreed timeline. RERA provides a platform for resolving disputes between buyers and builders efficiently.
