purchased flat in 2013. builder stopped work i have only allottment letter can i approach rera for refund

Q: I purchases a flat in 2013 and was given an allottment letter without any possession date. I wanted to register the property but within three months builder stopped work completely. even after 4 years the project is less than 15% complete. I want refund but builder says he will pay in installments over the next 4 years with 10 percent deduction. in worse scenario dont mind the deduction but i want the builder to give me back my refund in one go so that i can invest elsewhere which he is refusing. Can i approach rera on the basis of allottment letter. please share your inputs

You can also make online complain to RERA in your respective state through RERA portal. In order to register RERA complaint in Maharashtra, you need to go to the MAHARERA website and on the home page, you will find a link for Complaint Registration. You need the following information in order to file a complaint under RERA - a) The registration number and address of the project, b) Complaint statement and 3) expected relief

Hi Joseph,
Yes, you can approach to MAHARERA. A buyer who is the victim of the unfair practices of the builder can approach the following forums for his redressal 1) He can file a civil suit in a Civil Court, 2) He can file a Criminal Case, 3) He can file a complaint before the consumer Forum, 4) He can approach Regulatory Forums and, 5) He can file a complaint before the Competition Commission of India.
But after implication of MAHARERA people are filing complain against the builder under RERA Act.

No, RERA has made the complaining process much easier for the home-buyer. Any person who has an interest in the project, can file an application with the RERA authority. The application can also be filed online, as per the format available. The complainant must provide: a) The particulars of the applicant and the respondent, 2) The registration number and address of the project, 3) The reliefs and interim reliefs, if any, sought and, 4) A concise statement of facts and grounds of claim.
