Developer representation and compliance

Advice and representation for developers and promoters on RERA registration, project compliance, complaints and appeals.

RERA places continuing obligations on promoters, from registration and quarterly updates to maintaining a separate project account and following the agreement for sale format. Mistakes surface later as complaints.

What this work involves

• Reviewing agreements for sale and allotment letters against the Act and the Karnataka rules
• Advising on project registration and extension, and on disclosures
• Responding to notices and complaints from allottees and associations
• Defending claims for refund, interest and compensation
• Appeals before the Karnataka REAT, including the pre-deposit requirement
• Settlement strategy where it is commercially sensible

Developers benefit most when compliance questions are raised before a dispute starts. A short review of the documentation used for sales often identifies avoidable risks.
