Karnataka RERA Makes Builders and Landowners Jointly Liable for Civic Amenities

Dated on: Wednesday 13th August 2025

Karnataka RERA has ruled that in joint development projects, both builders and landowners are equally responsible for providing civic amenities promised to homebuyers. The order came in a Bengaluru case where amenities like a swimming pool and club house were not completed. The authority directed that such obligations remain even if the landowner’s role was limited to providing land. This ensures accountability for delays or lapses, protecting buyers’ interests and preventing disputes where builders and landowners shift blame for incomplete facilities.
