About RERA penalties
Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, a promoter must keep a project registered for the whole period of promotion, file quarterly progress reports, maintain the 70% escrow and meet the declared completion date. Non-compliance — a delayed project, missed QPRs, or contravention of an authority order — attracts penalties linked to the estimated project cost.
Why it matters
The penalty for contravention can run up to 5% of the estimated project cost per day of non-compliance (s.63), and failure to register a project up to 10% of the project cost (s.59), with imprisonment up to three years in serious cases. On a large project even a single day at the statutory maximum is a very large number — the authority determines the actual figure on the facts.
Frequently asked questions
What is the RERA penalty for non-compliance?
