Punjab RERA Delay Interest — How It Works

Punjab RERA oversees real estate projects in Mohali, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, and across the state. Under Punjab RERA's framework, delay interest is calculated as simple interest at SBI Highest MCLR + 2% per annum, applicable from the committed possession date in the registered Agreement for Sale. Complaints can be filed online at rera.punjab.gov.in with a filing fee of ₹5,000. Punjab RERA has been active in addressing builder delays, particularly in the Mohali-Zirakpur-Kharar belt near Chandigarh, which has seen significant real estate development and associated delays. Punjab's proximity to the Chandigarh Tricity region makes it a key market for residential real estate. The Authority enforces Section 18 rights strictly and has issued multiple orders directing builders to pay interest compensation. Non-compliance with Authority orders attracts a daily penalty cumulatively extending up to 5% of estimated project cost under Section 63. Continued defiance of Appellate Tribunal orders can result in imprisonment up to 3 years and a fine cumulatively extending up to 10% of estimated project cost under Section 64.
