RERA Section 3 vs None

Two benches: HRERA operates through two benches — Gurugram (for Gurugram, Faridabad, and nearby districts) and Panchkula (for the rest of Haryana). Central RERA allows states to designate multiple benches; Haryana exercised this to manage its high-volume NCR market separately from other Haryana markets.

Ongoing project registration: Haryana had a large number of pre-RERA ongoing projects — particularly in Gurugram. HRERA's processing of ongoing project registrations was initially slower than MahaRERA, leading to a period where many Gurugram projects had unanswered registration applications. The Supreme Court's 2017 directions to all states to expedite registrations addressed this.

Enforcement gap — large builders: HRERA has faced greater challenges enforcing orders against Gurugram's large developers (particularly those in IBC proceedings) compared to MahaRERA. Several HRERA compensation orders against major NCR builders have faced Section 40 recovery difficulties where the builder has entered insolvency.

Interest rate: HRERA prescribes SBI MCLR+2% — consistent with other major states. However, some early HRERA orders awarded simple interest rather than compound interest; this has been corrected in later decisions and High Court orders.

Group housing specifics: HRERA rules have specific provisions for Haryana's large group housing complexes — covering the DTCP (Department of Town and Country Planning) approval chain, external development charges, and infrastructure development obligations peculiar to Haryana's town planning framework.

Appellate tribunal: Haryana initially had delays in establishing its dedicated Appellate Tribunal — aggrieved parties went directly to Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Appellate Tribunal is now operational but handles a significant backlog of appeals.
