RERA Possession Delay – Get Legal Support with ReraLawyers
Struggling with Possession Delays? We’ll Help You Claim What’s Rightfully Yours
When you invest your hard-earned money in a real estate project, you expect to receive timely possession of your home. Unfortunately, thousands of buyers across India are still waiting for keys to their promised apartments—even years after the agreed possession date.
Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), you have the legal right to take action against such delays. With ReraLawyers on your side, you can file a RERA complaint for possession and get either:
✅ Possession of the property with interest for the delay
✅ OR a full refund with interest and compensation
We help you hold builders accountable and reclaim your peace of mind.
When Can You Claim Possession Under RERA?
As per Section 18(1) of the RERA Act, you are entitled to possession of your property if:
- 🏗️ The builder has missed the possession deadline mentioned in the agreement
- 🧱 Construction is incomplete or unreasonably delayed
- 🏚️ The project is abandoned or stalled
- ⚠️ Possession is offered without proper approvals or Occupancy Certificate (OC)
In such cases, you can either choose to stay in the project and demand compensation for the delay, or exit and claim a full refund with interest.
What Does the Law Say?
Section 18(1)(b) of the RERA Act states:
“If the allottee does not intend to withdraw from the project, he shall be paid interest for every month of delay till the handing over of possession.” This means you don’t have to cancel your booking — even if you wait for possession, you’re legally entitled to monthly interest for every day of delay

What does ‘RERA Possession’ mean for a homebuyer?
RERA Possession refers to your legal right to receive the property on or before the date committed by the builder in the agreement. If possession is delayed, RERA empowers you to file a complaint and seek justice.
What can I do if the builder delays possession beyond the promised date?
You can file a RERA complaint for possession and claim either immediate delivery, interest for delay, or a full refund with compensation, depending on your preference and the severity of the delay.
Am I entitled to compensation for delayed possession under RERA?
Yes. RERA entitles homebuyers to monthly interest on the amount paid, for every month of delay, until possession is handed over or a refund is granted.
Can I still claim possession if the builder has not received the Occupancy Certificate (OC)?
No. Possession can only be legally handed over after the builder receives the Occupancy Certificate. If they offer possession without it, you can take legal action.
What are my rights under RERA if the builder refuses to give possession?
As a homebuyer, you have the right to:
File a RERA complaint
Claim possession with delay interest
Seek a refund if possession is no longer feasible
Demand compensation for mental agony or rental expenses
Can I claim both possession and compensation under RERA?
Yes. You can demand possession of the property along with compensation or interest for the delay period. Our legal experts at ReraLawyers help you secure the maximum benefit allowed under the law.
How long does it take to get relief after filing a possession complaint in RERA?
RERA aims for quick resolution—typically within 60 to 90 days of filing. However, timelines may vary by state and case complexity.
Do I need a lawyer to file a possession complaint under RERA?
