So they do not suffer financially from property deals. This confidence in the people helps to increase sales in this sector.

Under the RERA regulations, any aggrieved person can file a complaint against any builder, developer, allottee, or real estate agent.

Types of forums as per the RERA Act:

There are three types of forums present in the RERA Act.

RERA Authority

The central government introduced the RERA Authority, which provides rules and regulations for maintaining transparency and safeguarding the rights of the complainant. As per this authority, builders or developers must show the complete property project details to the consumers or buyers. Builders or developers can not make any false advertisements or false promises to consumers or buyers. It also ensures the property buyers get quick redressal of their complaints. This Authority also makes it compulsory for the real estate agent to register as per this Act, along with their real estate projects.

Adjudicating officer

An Adjudicating Officer is appointed by the Central Government to enforce jurisdiction, powers and authority provided under the RERA Act. The adjudicating officer also grants these solutions in matters of RERA cases.

• An adjudicating officer can ask the builders to provide a refund with interest to the buyers when they create a misleading presentation or advertisement about the project.
• If any builder or developer makes any changes to the original plan without taking permission from the buyer, then the officer can order the builder to provide compensation to the buyer.
• If any buyers make a complaint about the defects in the quality of the construction or any defects in the quality or provision of services. In this case, if builders fail to solve these defects within the agreed-upon timeline, they must provide compensation to the buyers.
• If any builder makes delays in the possession of the house or any other property, then the builder is liable to provide compensation for the period of delay in giving possession.

Appellate Tribunal

The RERA Appellate Tribunal can revise any order or any decision of the RERA Authority or Adjudicating Officer. If any buyers file a case against the builder in RERA, RERA gives a decision in favour of the builder. In that situation, buyers can appeal to the RERA Appellate Tribunal within 60 days after receiving the order of the RERA. Section 44 of the RERA Act provides a provision for appeal against the RERA order. The Appellate Tribunal can ask for the records and details that are needed for the disposal of any appeal.
