The RERA CG came up with rules that are listed below:

• Builders cannot alter any of the designs after the approval of the plan and design of the project.

• The builder needs written consent from each buyer in case the builder wants to introduce any further modifications.

• Home buyers can claim compensation if they deal with property loss due to the builder's negligence. In that scenario, the builder is liable for paying the compensation to the buyer.

• Buyers have the right to file a complaint if they deal with any issue with the purchased property within 5 years of its purchase. The builder has to resolve the matter within 30 days.

• The builder should include the details of the carpet area in all marketing communications related to the project. They cannot advertise with just the super built-up area details.
