Specialised Tribunals and Courts for Real Estate Disputes in India:

In addition to traditional courts, India has specialised forums dedicated to adjudicating real estate disputes and providing efficient resolutions.

1. Real Estate Regulatory Authority Tribunal (REAT): The Real Estate Regulatory Authority Tribunal is established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). It provides a platform for aggrieved homebuyers, builders, and real estate agents to seek redressal of disputes arising from property transactions. REAT operates at the state level and handles matters pertaining to RERA compliance, project delays, quality issues, refund claims, and other related disputes.
2. Appellate Tribunal: Each state also has an Appellate Tribunal constituted under RERA to hear appeals against the orders of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority Tribunal. Parties dissatisfied with REAT decisions can approach the Appellate Tribunal to seek a review of the judgments.
3. Consumer Forums and National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC): Consumers aggrieved by builders or developers can approach the appropriate Consumer Forum, depending on the value of the claim, to seek compensation and relief for deficiencies in services or unfair trade practices. For claims exceeding a specified value, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) serves as the highest consumer appellate authority.
