AP RERA Delay Interest — How It Works

AP RERA — the Andhra Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority — oversees real estate projects in Amaravati, Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Tirupati, Vijayawada, Guntur, and across the state. Under AP RERA's framework, delay interest is calculated as simple interest at SBI Highest MCLR + 2% per annum, running from the committed possession date in the registered Agreement for Sale. Complaints can be filed online at rera.ap.gov.in with a filing fee of ₹5,000. Andhra Pradesh's real estate market is concentrated around Visakhapatnam (the de facto executive capital), Vijayawada-Guntur (the legislative capital region), and Tirupati. The Authority has been active in processing complaints from homebuyers affected by builder delays. AP RERA follows the central RERA Act, 2016 framework. Under Section 18, the buyer's entitlement to statutory interest or refund for delayed possession cannot be overridden by one-sided contract clauses. The Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Newtech Promoters vs State of UP (2021) applies uniformly across all states, affirming the unqualified right to a refund with prescribed interest upon withdrawal from a delayed project. Use this calculator to estimate your AP RERA delay interest. Enter your property value, select the promised and actual possession dates, and optionally add per-instalment details for a precise computation.
