RERA Refund – Get Back Your Investment with ReraLawyers
Your Legal Right to a Full Refund for Delayed or Incomplete Property Projects
Investing in real estate is one of the biggest decisions in a person’s life. But when a builder fails to deliver on time—or worse, abandons the project altogether—it can turn into a nightmare. Thankfully, the RERA Act (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016) is here to protect buyers like you.
Under RERA, you have the legal right to demand a complete refund with interest if your builder defaults. At ReraLawyers, we ensure you get what you deserve—your money back, legally and efficiently.
When Can You Claim a Refund Under RERA?
You can file for a refund under RERA in the following situations:
What Does RERA Law Say About Refund?
Section 18(1) of the RERA Act clearly states:
If the promoter fails to complete or is unable to give possession of an apartment, plot, or building in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the allottee is entitled to withdraw and receive a full refund along with prescribed interest and compensation.
This makes RERA one of the most powerful legal tools for real estate buyers in India.
