A builder is given 45 days to execute a Rera order and comply with its direction. But in many cases the orders are not complied by the developer. In such cases, buyers can again approach the Rera authority for execution. As per section 40, the Rera authority has powers to get their orders executed.
Clause 1 of this section lays down, "If a promoter or an allottee or a real estate agent fails to pay any interest or penalty or compensation imposed on him, it shall be recoverable from such promoter or allottee or real estate agent, in such a manner as may be prescribed as arrears of land revenue."
Clause (2) lays down that, "If any adjudicating officer or the regulatory authority or the appellate tribunal issues any order, then in case of failure by any person to comply with such order or direction, the same shall be enforced."
Section 63 of Rera lays down stringent provisions for non-compliance of orders. It says, "If any promoter, who fails to comply with or contravenes any of the orders or directions of the authority, shall be liable to penalty for every day during which such default continues, which may cumulatively extend up to five percent of the estimated cost of the real estate project, as determined by the authority."
Failing to comply with the order of the Rera Appellate Tribunal is a punishable offence which can lead to imprisonment up to three years or fine which may extend up to ten percent of the cost of the real estate project, as per section 64 of the Rera Act.
Buyers can approach Rera authorities for getting their orders implemented in case of failure by the developer. There are provisions in the law to punish whoever fails to comply with the Rera authority orders.
