What goes wrong — West Bengal and Durgapur specifics
WB-HIRA was struck down — it no longer exists
The Supreme Court declared the West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act unconstitutional on 4 May 2021 in Forum for People's Collective Efforts v State of West Bengal, holding it repugnant to the central RERA Act. WBRERA rules followed on 27 July 2021, and complaints pending before HIRA stand transferred to RERA. A large amount of guidance still online treats HIRA as live — it is not.
Projects launched in the HIRA period need careful checking
Projects registered under HIRA between 2018 and 2021 occupy an awkward position. Establishing the registration status under the current WBRERA regime is the necessary first step in any Kolkata complaint.
Choose one forum — RERA, consumer court or NCLT — not all three
The same grievance can often go to RERA, a consumer commission, or the NCLT if the builder is insolvent. Filing in parallel weakens your position and can lead to dismissal. The right forum depends on what you actually want: refund, possession, compensation or interest.
An unregistered project narrows your options
RERA registration is mandatory for most projects above the threshold. If the project was never registered, the Authority can penalise the promoter, but your remedy for delay or refund may be better pursued elsewhere.
Insolvency changes everything
Once a developer enters insolvency, a moratorium under Section 14 of the IBC halts RERA proceedings, and homebuyers must file claims as financial creditors in the resolution process instead. Continuing before RERA at that point achieves nothing.
Delay interest accrues but must be claimed correctly
Interest for delayed possession runs at the rate prescribed under the state rules, typically linked to SBI's highest marginal cost of lending rate plus a margin. Claiming an incorrect rate or period is a common reason awards fall short of expectation.
ADDA leasehold across much of the planned city
The Asansol Durgapur Development Authority holds and leases substantial land in the planned city. Transfer requires the Authority's permission and record update, separate from registration.
Coal-bearing area land and subsidence
The Raniganj coalfield belt includes land subject to the Coal Bearing Areas Act and subsidence-prone zones where construction is restricted and land may be acquired.
Steel plant township property
Township property built for the steel plant follows the employer's own allotment and transfer rules rather than ordinary conveyancing.

RERA Complaint FAQs — Durgapur
Is ADDA leasehold land different from freehold in Durgapur?
Materially. The Asansol Durgapur Development Authority holds and leases substantial land in the planned city, and transfer requires the Authority's permission and its own record update. A registered deed alone does not bind ADDA, so its position must be established first.
Is land in the coalfield belt safe to buy?
It needs checking. The Raniganj coalfield includes land subject to the Coal Bearing Areas Act and subsidence-prone zones where construction is restricted and land may be acquired. Neither restriction appears on a deed search.
Which registration office covers Durgapur?
The Durgapur and ADSR Durgapur offices serve the city, with Kanksa, Andal, Faridpur and Asansol covering the wider area.
What is the family gift deed rate in West Bengal?
West Bengal charges 0.5% of market value for a gift among immediate family plus a 1% registration fee — among the lowest family rates in India. Flats are assessed on carpet area following RERA harmonisation. Indicative — confirm before executing.
