Consumer & Real Estate Remedies in Delhi

Consumer and real estate disputes may involve deficient goods or services, housing projects, delayed possession, financial obligations, refunds or compensation. The governing forum depends on the statutory remedy, territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction, and the location and nature of the project or transaction. This page gives factual information about related matters handled by advocates associated with Conventus Law Offices.

Consumer protection proceedings

The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 establishes statutory consumer redressal mechanisms. A complaint may involve alleged deficiency in service, unfair trade practice or another recognised consumer grievance. Eligibility, limitation, monetary jurisdiction and the relief sought must be assessed under the applicable provisions.

Depending on the case, proceedings may be before the relevant District, State or National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Appeals, revisions and execution proceedings are distinct remedies with their own statutory requirements.

Builder-buyer disputes and RERA

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 provides a framework for specified real estate projects, promoters and allottees. The authority with jurisdiction depends on the real estate project’s location and the applicable regulatory framework, including whether the project is in Delhi or another State or Union Territory.

The Imperia Structures case note considers the relationship between RERA and consumer remedies. The availability of a particular route must be assessed against the facts and the risk of overlapping relief.

Appropriate forum
