Answer

Under Haryana RERA, homebuyers have several legal actions they can take to protect their interests. One of the primary actions is filing a complaint against builders, developers, promoters or real estate agents for violations of RERA provisions. These complaints can be related to delays in possession, poor construction quality, high maintenance charges or discrepancies between promised and actual deliverables. Homebuyers can lodge their complaints on the official Haryana RERA website, filling out a form, submitting supporting documents and paying a nominal fee​​.

Another significant legal action available under Haryana RERA is seeking compensation for grievances such as delays in possession. Homebuyers can claim refunds of the amount paid along with interest if the builder defaults on delivery timelines or fails to meet contractual obligations. This mechanism ensures financial protection and accountability​.

Additionally, RERA provides for the enforcement of orders. If a RERA tribunal issues a judgement in favour of the homebuyer and the builder does not comply, the amount due can be recovered as arrears of land revenue. This ensures that the awarded compensation or refund is enforced effectively.
