What goes wrong — Karnataka and Mangaluru specifics
Plan deviation and khata are frequent Bengaluru complaints
Bengaluru complaints commonly concern deviation from the sanctioned plan and failure to deliver a clean khata. Both are actionable before RERA, but the evidence needed differs — plan deviation requires the sanctioned plan, khata failure requires the handover documentation.
Apartment association handover disputes
Failure to form the association, hand over common areas or transfer the corpus fund is a recurring Bengaluru issue and is actionable under Section 17 of the Act.
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.
Aliyasantana and Mukhtesar family tenure
Coastal Karnataka's traditional Aliyasantana matrilineal system left many holdings with complex family rights and partition histories. Establishing who must join a transfer is genuinely harder here than elsewhere in the state.
CRZ restrictions along the coast
Property near the coastline and the Netravati and Gurupura rivers falls within Coastal Regulation Zone limits, restricting construction irrespective of title.
Large NRI ownership and PoA-based transactions
Dakshina Kannada has a very high proportion of Gulf-based NRI owners, and many transactions run through powers of attorney. PoA validity, scope and revocation status need checking as a matter of routine.

RERA Complaint FAQs — Mangaluru
What is Aliyasantana and does it affect my property in Mangaluru?
Aliyasantana is the traditional matrilineal succession system of coastal Karnataka. Although abolished prospectively, holdings that devolved under it carry complex family rights and partition histories, so identifying every person who must join a transfer requires tracing the family arrangement rather than just the deed.
I am an NRI in the Gulf — can I sell or gift my Mangaluru property remotely?
Yes, through a properly executed and attested Power of Attorney. Given how common this is in Dakshina Kannada, we check the PoA's scope, attestation and whether it has been revoked as a standard step — defective PoAs are a frequent cause of failed registration here.
Is coastal property near Surathkal subject to CRZ rules?
Frequently yes. Coastal Regulation Zone limits restrict construction near the shoreline and tidal rivers. Title can be perfectly clear while the intended construction is not permissible, so CRZ classification should be checked before purchase.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Kadri or Bejai?
Central Mangaluru including Kadri, Bejai and Falnir is served by the Mangaluru city offices, with Surathkal, Bantwal, Puttur, Moodabidri and Ullal covering the wider district.
