RERA Compensation
Builders Caused You Mental, Financial, or Emotional Distress? You Deserve Compensation.
When a builder fails to deliver on promises—whether it’s a delayed project, poor construction, false commitments, or legal violations—the loss isn’t just financial. It impacts your peace of mind, mental health, and sometimes even your livelihood.
Under the RERA Act (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016), you can claim compensation for all such damages.
At ReraLawyers, we specialize in helping homebuyers like you file RERA complaints for compensation — and win.
What Does “Compensation” Mean Under RERA?
Compensation under RERA goes beyond just refunds or interest. It covers any additional loss, harassment, or inconvenience caused due to the builder’s actions or negligence.
You can file a claim for:
- 😞 Mental Harassment or Emotional Stress
- 💸 Financial Loss due to EMI + Rent (Double Burden)
- 🚧 Cost Escalation due to project delays
- 🛠️ Substandard Construction or Defects
- ⚖️ Violation of Agreement Terms
- 🗓️ Loss of Opportunity or Time
🏆 Compensation = Refund / Interest PLUS actual damages suffered
Legal Basis for Compensation under RERA
Section 18(2) of the RERA Act:
“The allottee shall be compensated by the promoter for any loss caused due to incorrect or false statement in the advertisement or prospectus.”
Moreover, under Section 71, the Adjudicating Officer (AO) has the power to award compensation for any loss or injury caused due to a builder’s default.
