RERA authorities and appellate tribunals: complaint tracking for advocates
Homebuyer and promoter disputes before state authorities, adjudicating officers and appellate tribunals: Legal Staff keeps each RERA date, forum and appeal period in view.
- Seat: Each state and Union Territory
- State Real Estate Regulatory Authorities
- Real Estate Appellate Tribunals

Overview
How Legal Staff fits a day at the RERA
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 is administered state by state. Each state has its own Real Estate Regulatory Authority and Appellate Tribunal, its own website and its own way of publishing cause lists and orders. Maharashtra's authority (MahaRERA), Uttar Pradesh's authority and the two Haryana authorities at Gurugram and Panchkula each work a little differently. A real estate practice with clients in several states has to follow several systems.
Within a state there are usually three tracks: complaints under section 31 before the Authority, compensation claims before the adjudicating officer under section 71, and appeals to the Appellate Tribunal. An appeal to the Tribunal lies within 60 days of the order, and a further appeal to the High Court within 60 days of the Tribunal's decision. Legal Staff stores the forum with each hearing and tracks appeal periods as tasks from the order date you approve.
Homebuyer matters also tend to come in groups, with many allottees in the same project. Tagging cases by project lets you see every complaint against one promoter and its next date together.

Order reading
How orders from the RERA look
Upload or paste an order or a cause list entry. Legal Staff reads it, summarises it with paragraph references and picks out the next date. Nothing reaches your diary until you confirm it.
RERA orders: forum, complaint number and the next step
- Orders identify the state Authority, the adjudicating officer or the Appellate Tribunal, and the complaint or appeal number. Legal Staff stores the forum with each hearing.
- Directions to the promoter to file a reply or deposit an amount, and compliance dates, become tasks.
- Final orders are summarised with the relief granted (refund with interest, possession, compensation) and the order date, to start the appeal period you approve.
- Many authorities hear matters online; the hearing link or mode can be added as a note on the hearing.

Advocates using Legal Staff for RERA matters
RERA: frequently asked questions
Can Legal Staff handle RERA matters in more than one state?
Yes. Each case records the state and forum, so a practice with MahaRERA, UP RERA and Haryana matters sees them in one diary.
What is the appeal period to the RERA Appellate Tribunal?
Section 44 of the Act provides 60 days from the date of the order, and section 58 provides a further 60 days to appeal to the High Court. Check the Act and the state rules for condonation and pre-deposit.
Does it track adjudicating officer claims separately?
Yes. A compensation claim before the adjudicating officer can be a separate matter linked to the complaint, with its own dates.
Does it fetch RERA cause lists?
No. Each state authority's website is the source of record. You paste or upload the order or the list entry.
Can I group complaints from the same project?
Yes. Tag cases by project or promoter and filter the diary to prepare batch hearings together.
