Frequently asked questions

Can I appeal a REAT order to the High Court?

Yes. Section 58 of the RERA Act provides for an appeal to the High Court against an order of the Appellate Tribunal, within the time prescribed by the Act and on the grounds it recognises.

What if the builder does not pay even after the RERA order?

Amounts can be recovered as arrears of land revenue. If the authorities do not act, a writ petition may be considered.

Detailed explainers on RERA procedure are on the dedicated RERA website.
