What goes wrong — Punjab and Ludhiana 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.

GLADA and improvement trust plots have their own records

Plots allotted by the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority or the improvement trust carry allotment conditions and an authority record separate from revenue mutation. Both need updating for a buyer's position to be complete.

Industrial and mixed-use conversions

Ludhiana's hosiery and engineering base means much property is on industrially classified land. Change of land use is a separate permission and cannot be inferred from existing residential occupation.
