Answer

Under Haryana RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority), homebuyers have several key rights that ensure transparency, accountability and timely completion of real estate projects.

  • Right to Information: Homebuyers are entitled to access detailed information about the project, including sanctioned plans, layout plans and the stage-wise schedule of project completion. This information helps buyers make informed decisions and understand the progress of the project they are investing in​​.
  • Right to Timely Possession: One of the significant protections under Haryana RERA is the right to timely possession of property. If developers delay the project, homebuyers can claim interest on the amount paid or seek a refund along with compensation​​.
  • Right to Claim Refund: In cases where developers fail to deliver as per the terms of the sale agreement, homebuyers can file a complaint to seek a refund of the amount paid, along with interest and compensation​​.
  • Right to Quality Construction: If there are any structural defects or issues with the quality of construction within five years of possession, developers are obligated to rectify these defects at no additional cost to the homebuyer within 30 days​​.
  • Right to Document Access: Upon possession of the property, buyers have the right to obtain all relevant documents and plans, including those related to common areas​​.
  • Dispute Resolution: Haryana RERA provides a robust mechanism for dispute resolution. Homebuyers can file complaints against developers for any grievances, which are then addressed by the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority or the designated Appellate Tribunal​​.
