What goes wrong — Uttar Pradesh and Lucknow 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.
The ₹5,000 family cap is a January 2026 notification
Uttar Pradesh capped stamp duty on family gift deeds at ₹5,000 by notification in January 2026. A great deal of guidance still online quotes the earlier percentage rates, so figures found elsewhere are frequently out of date.
LDA leasehold plots and freehold conversion
Many Lucknow Development Authority plots remain leasehold. Gifting leasehold property without the authority's permission, or without conversion to freehold, weakens the donee's position against LDA.
Circle rate versus actual value
For non-family gifts, duty is computed on circle rate value. Lucknow revises circle rates periodically and the notified rate frequently diverges from real transaction values.
