Karnataka RERA Fixes Equal Liability on Builders and Landowners
Dated on: Saturday 9th May 2026Karnataka RERA has clarified that both developers and landowners will be equally responsible for delays and violations in real estate projects. The authority stated that landowners involved in joint development agreements qualify as promoters under the RERA Act and cannot avoid accountability. The ruling came during a dispute related to a delayed housing project in Bengaluru. K-RERA emphasized that internal conflicts between builders and landowners should not affect the rights of homebuyers. The decision is expected to strengthen consumer protection, improve transparency in joint development projects, and ensure that buyers receive relief without facing complications caused by disputes among project stakeholders.
