What goes wrong — Uttar Pradesh and Varanasi 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.
Temple trust and math-held property in the old city
Large parts of the ghats and old city are held by temple trusts, maths and endowments. Such property generally cannot be alienated, and long occupation does not create transferable title.
Kashi Vishwanath corridor acquisition history
The corridor project acquired and consolidated substantial old-city property. Records in and around the affected area need checking against acquisition notifications rather than deeds alone.
Heritage and riverfront construction limits
Ghat-adjacent and heritage-zone property carries construction restrictions that survive any transfer.
