What goes wrong — Uttar Pradesh and Kanpur specifics
UP-RERA has the heaviest stalled-project caseload in India
Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad account for an extraordinary concentration of delayed and abandoned projects. Many involve developers already in insolvency, which moves buyer claims out of RERA and into the resolution process.
Authority dues and the tripartite structure
Where a developer owes land dues to the NOIDA or Greater Noida Authority, registries for buyers are frequently withheld even after a favourable RERA order. The Authority's dues position needs establishing alongside the 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.
Closed mill land and industrial conversion
Kanpur's defunct textile mills left large land parcels whose ownership, worker claims and conversion status remain contested. Such land periodically enters the market and requires far more than a standard search.
Nazul land in the cantonment and civil lines belt
Substantial central Kanpur property sits on Nazul land held on lease from the state. Transfers require the Nazul authority's consent and the lease terms govern what is permitted.
Old joint-family holdings in the inner city
Inner Kanpur carries long undivided family properties where partition was never registered, so a seller's title frequently rests on an unregistered arrangement.

RERA Complaint FAQs — Kanpur
What is Nazul land and does it affect my Kanpur property?
Nazul land is state-owned land held on long lease, and substantial parts of Civil Lines and the cantonment belt sit on it. Transfers require the Nazul authority's consent, and the lease terms — not just the sale deed — govern what the buyer may do. This is a routine Kanpur issue that outside buyers frequently miss.
Is former mill land safe to buy in Kanpur?
It needs specialist examination. Kanpur's closed textile mills left parcels with contested ownership, outstanding worker claims and unresolved land-use conversion. A standard title search does not surface those, and such land periodically reaches the market.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Swaroop Nagar or Kakadeo?
Central Kanpur including Swaroop Nagar, Civil Lines and Kakadeo is served by the Kanpur Sadar and numbered city offices, with Bilhaur, Ghatampur, Narwal and Kalyanpur covering the wider district.
The family property was divided informally decades ago — is that enough?
No. An unregistered or oral partition does not convey title in immovable property, and other family members retain claims. Inner-city Kanpur has a high concentration of such holdings, and formalising the division is usually a precondition to any sale.
