Punjab has umpteen business opportunities in Real Estate sector and also witnessed an upward trend of development in the Real Estate. The inclination in this sector obviously has given so much development to the Punjab state but there is also a substantial rise in the percentage of perturbed home-buyers.

Filing RERA Complaint in Punjab
All the prerogative related to real estate matters has now been vested with the State RERA so now the consumer courts and consumer forums are not in the picture anymore, one has to file all the complaints relating to real estate as prescribed under RERA Regulations before RERA authorities of the State.
Filing of RERA complaints is a matter of expertise and it needs profound understanding of the laws along with the facts and circumstances of the case. Without any professional advice one might lose all his standing in the case and it may also lead to the loss of time and money.
RERA complaint in Punjab can be filed before following authorities depending upon the kind of grievance.
(i) Complaint to RERA Adjudicating Officer – Any complaint relating to claim of interest and compensation, which is covered by section 12, 14, 18 and 19, of RERA Act, 2016, can be filed in form ‘N’ before Punjab RERA Adjudicating officer. The complaint shall be filed with the fees of Rs. 1000/-.
