What goes wrong — Tamil Nadu and Madurai specifics
Transition-period projects may fall outside registration
Because Tamil Nadu notified its rules later than most states, projects launched around the transition sometimes escaped registration. Establishing whether registration was legally required is the first step in a TN complaint.
Plot promotions and DTCP approvals
Chennai and Coimbatore have a high volume of plotted developments. DTCP or CMDA approval status is central to these complaints, and unapproved layouts limit the relief RERA can give.
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.
Temple and devaswom land in the old city
Substantial land around the Meenakshi temple precinct and the old city is temple-owned or endowment land. Such land generally cannot be alienated, and long occupation does not create transferable title.
Long undivided family holdings
Madurai's older neighbourhoods carry multi-generation joint family properties where partition was never registered. A seller's apparent ownership frequently rests on an oral arrangement that will not withstand scrutiny.
Patta sub-division on ancestral plots
Where a large ancestral plot has been informally divided, patta may not reflect the division, and a buyer of one portion cannot obtain a separate patta until the sub-division is formalised.

RERA Complaint FAQs — Madurai
How do I file a RERA complaint in Madurai?
A complaint is filed before TNRERA for a registered project, setting out the default and the relief sought, with the agreement and payment proof annexed. We draft the complaint, compute interest and carry the claim through the hearings.
