Short Answer

RERA may seek various documents from you, including official correspondence with the builder, meeting minutes, agreements, project details, financial statements, etc.

Detailed Explanation

Rule 9 of the Gujarat RERA Rules, 2017 states that the promoter is required to submit various documents and information to RERA for registration of the real estate project. This includes details of the project, approvals, sanctioned plans, layout plans, agreements, financial statements, etc. RERA may also seek additional information during the registration process or for complaint redressal.

Furthermore, Section 35 of the Gujarat RERA Act, 2016 empowers RERA to call for any information or record from promoters, allottees, or real estate agents for the effective implementation of the Act. This provision enables RERA to request documents like official correspondence with the builder, meeting minutes, agreements, and any other relevant information to ensure compliance with the law.

In practice, when a complaint is filed against a builder for delays or other issues, RERA may ask for evidence of communication with the builder, such as emails, letters, or meeting minutes. These documents help RERA assess the situation and take necessary actions to resolve the dispute. For instance, if a builder is repeatedly delaying project completion without valid reasons, RERA may use the official correspondence to hold the builder accountable and enforce penalties.
