The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) protects homebuyers. Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata helps buyers file complaints against builders for delayed possession, poor quality, and refund claims.
100% Confidential. No obligation. Free initial advice.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 requires every real estate project to be registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority. Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata explains the key provisions applicable in West Bengal. The West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act (WB HIRA) was initially enacted but later aligned with the Central RERA Act. Builders must register their projects before advertising or selling, deposit 70% of buyer payments in a separate escrow account, adhere to completion timelines, and provide accurate project information. Buyers can file complaints for delays, defects, and misrepresentation.

All real estate projects (residential and commercial) with land area 500+ sqm or 8+ apartments must register with RERA. Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata assists builders with RERA registration by preparing the application with project details (land title, approvals, plans timeline), obtaining RERA registration number (to be displayed in all advertisements), quarterly project updates and annual reports, and extension of registration (if delayed). Non-registration attracts penalties up to 10% of project cost.
Homebuyers can file complaints before RERA for various issues. Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata files complaints for delayed possession (compensation as per agreement or as determined by RERA), project abandonment (refund with interest), deviations from approved plans, poor construction quality, failure to provide title and possession, misleading advertisements, and failure to deposit money in escrow account. RERA can order refund with interest, compensation, or specific performance. Complaints are heard by the RERA Authority and appeals lie to the Appellate Tribunal.
If the builder delays possession beyond the committed date, the buyer is entitled to refund with interest. Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata handles refund claims by filing a complaint before RERA showing the committed possession date, the delay period, the amount paid, and the request for refund with interest (RERA prescribes interest rates equal to SB interest + 2% for builders). RERA can order the builder to refund the entire amount paid with interest within a specified period. We follow up with execution if the builder does not comply.
Orders of the RERA Authority can be appealed to the RERA Appellate Tribunal. Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata handles appeals by both buyers and builders. The appeal must be filed within 60 days of the order. The Appellate Tribunal can confirm, modify, or set aside the order. Further appeal lies to the Calcutta High Court on questions of law. We handle all levels of RERA litigation.
Our RERA lawyer in Kolkata has extensive experience in RERA matters, representing both homebuyers and builders. We understand the nuances of RERA law in West Bengal and provide effective representation before the Authority, Appellate Tribunal, and High Court. Contact us at +91 74398 11422.
