Bengaluru Homebuyers Left Helpless as RERA Orders Go Unenforced

Dated on: Friday 27th June 2025

Bengaluru homebuyers are struggling as builders ignore RERA compensation orders, with no strict enforcement in place. Although many rulings favour buyers, recovery remains poor due to lack of judicial powers and ineffective coordination with revenue officials. Over Rs1,000 crore in penalties have been imposed, but only a fraction has been collected. Frustrated buyers are now withdrawing complaints or turning to the courts. The situation highlights the urgent need to strengthen RERA’s enforcement mechanism and ensure builder accountability across thousands of stalled or lapsed real estate projects in the city.
