What goes wrong — Kerala and Kozhikode specifics
Choose one forum — RERA, consumer court or NCLT
The same grievance can go to RERA, a consumer commission, or the NCLT if the builder is insolvent. 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 homebuyers must claim as financial creditors in the resolution process instead.
An unregistered project narrows your options
If the project was never registered, the Authority can penalise the promoter, but your refund or possession remedy may be better pursued elsewhere.
Pokkuvaravu is a separate step at the village office
Registration does not update revenue records. Pokkuvaravu — mutation — is applied for at the village office and updates the Thandaper account. Until it completes, land tax continues to be assessed on the previous owner.
Paddy land and wetland conversion is prohibited
The Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 prohibits conversion of notified paddy land and wetland, with parcels listed in each local body's Data Bank. Land cannot lawfully be filled or built on regardless of clean title.
CRZ restrictions along the Kozhikode coast
The beach belt and Beypore estuary fall within Coastal Regulation Zone limits restricting construction independently of ownership.
Large Gulf NRI ownership and PoA transactions
Malabar has a very high proportion of Gulf-based NRI owners and a correspondingly high volume of PoA-based transactions whose scope and revocation status need checking.

RERA Complaint FAQs — Kozhikode
Can I fill and build on paddy land near Kozhikode?
No. The Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 prohibits conversion of notified paddy land and wetland, and parcels appear in a Data Bank kept by each local body. This is the first check on any Kerala land purchase, and clean title makes no difference to it.
I work in the Gulf — can I handle a Kozhikode transaction remotely?
Yes, through a properly executed and attested Power of Attorney. Malabar has one of India's highest concentrations of NRI owners, and we verify PoA scope, attestation and revocation status as routine because defective PoAs are a frequent cause of failed registration here.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Nadakkavu or Mavoor Road?
Kozhikode city is served by the Kozhikode office, with Feroke, Beypore, Koyilandy, Vadakara, Balussery and Thamarassery covering the district.
What is Pokkuvaravu?
Pokkuvaravu is mutation, applied for at the village office after registration. It updates the Thandaper account so land tax is assessed on you. Registration alone does not achieve it, and it typically takes 30–60 days.
