In Punjab, if a party is dissatisfied with a RERA order, they can file an appeal with the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (REAT). The appeal must be filed within 60 days of receiving the order, but the tribunal may allow a delay if sufficient cause is shown. The appeal is filed using Form L and is subject to a fee, as prescribed. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6] 


Who can appeal?

• Homebuyers and developers who are aggrieved by a RERA order have the right to appeal.
• Common reasons for appeal include disputes related to project delays, incorrect project details, unfair agreement terms, or penalties imposed by RERA. [2] 

Where to appeal?

• The appeal is filed with the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, Punjab. [1, 2] 
• The tribunal’s address is: SCO 95-98, (Top Floor, Above Adhaar Card Office, Punjab Financial Corporation Building) Bank Square, Sector 17-B, Chandigarh – 160017. [7] 
• The contact number for the tribunal is 0172 – 2924193. [7] 

Filing an appeal:

1. Obtain Form L: Download Form L, which is the prescribed format for appeal to the Appellate Tribunal under section 44 of the Act, from the RERA Punjab website. [4, 4, 7, 7, 8] 
2. Complete the form: Fill out the form with all the necessary details about the appellant, respondent, and the nature of the appeal. [4, 4] 
3. Prepare supporting documents: Include a copy of the RERA order, any relevant documents supporting your claim, and a calculation sheet if claiming interest or refund. [3, 3, 9, 10] 
4. Pay the fee: The appeal fee is generally between ₹1,000 to ₹25,000, depending on the state. [5, 5] 
5. File the appeal: Submit the completed form and supporting documents to the Appellate Tribunal. [3, 3, 4, 4] 
6. Ensure service: If a caveat has been filed, provide proof of service of the appeal to the caveator. [3, 3] 

Important considerations:

• The appeal must be filed in English or accompanied by an English translation. [4] 
• The appeal should be typewritten or printed on one side of the paper with specific margins and formatting requirements. [4] 
• The tribunal endeavors to dispose of appeals within 60 days, according to the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority. [1, 11] 
• If the appellant is a developer, they may be required to deposit at least 30% of the penalty amount or the total amount directed by RERA before filing the appeal. [12]
