Odisha RERA Launches CDR Cell to Resolve Property Disputes

Dated on: Friday 25th July 2025

Odisha RERA has officially launched a Conciliation and Dispute Resolution (CDR) cell to address disputes between homebuyers and developers without court involvement. Initially proposed in January 2024, the initiative received state approval recently. The five-member panel includes ORERA officials, legal experts, and representatives from both developers and buyers. Formed under Section 32(g) of the RERA Act 2016, the CDR cell aims to offer a faster, cost-effective resolution process. Registered homebuyers’ associations must nominate their representatives by July 30, 2025. The initiative is expected to enhance trust and transparency in Odisha’s real estate sector.
