What goes wrong — Punjab and Amritsar specifics

Choose one forum — RERA, consumer court or NCLT

Filing in parallel weakens your position. The right forum depends on the relief you want.

Insolvency stops RERA proceedings

Once a developer enters insolvency, the Section 14 IBC moratorium halts RERA proceedings and buyers must claim as financial creditors instead.

The exemption is notification-based, not statutory

Punjab exempts gifts to blood relatives from stamp duty, but the exemption and its relative list have been varied by notification over time. The position at the date of registration governs, and this is the single most important thing to confirm for a Punjab gift.

Walled City heritage and narrow-lane titles

Property inside the Amritsar walled city carries heritage controls and very old, fragmented title chains with shared access rights that are frequently undocumented.

Border district land restrictions

Land close to the international border is subject to security-related restrictions on use and construction that survive a transfer.

What can I claim in a RERA complaint in Amritsar?

Delay interest, a refund with interest, possession, correction of plan deviations, or compensation for handover failures — filed before the correct Punjab authority so the relief is enforceable.

Which authority hears RERA complaints in Punjab?

Complaints are heard by Punjab Land Records / NGDRS, with appeals going to the state Real Estate Appellate Tribunal. Filing before the wrong forum is the most common reason a genuine claim is dismissed.

The builder-buyer agreement, all payment receipts, the project's RERA registration details, correspondence on the delay or defect, and the relief you are seeking with dates.
