1. It is very important to file the complaint in prescribed format then only notices are issued or else the complaint is returned to applicant. Notices to respondent be sent within 21 days of hearing. The respondents have to file reply on facts alleged with evidence. Complainant can also submit it on the website before complaint if it is functional (Not now). Complaint will be given registration number and will be heard serial wise.
2. If the complaint is not in proper format than to re-file it in 15 days. H-RERA rules already notified by the government, you may view it here. Even the project that has not received occupation certificate (OC) will come under its purview. Even the project that has received part OC – only the new part under RERA. Old part of project will be out of RERA ambit. Panchkula bench had its first hearing on Thursday (Feb 8) as media report by MoneyControl.

Those builder who had applied earlier before act being notified for CC (Completion Certificate)/OC (Occupation Certificate) or part of it are exempted from RERA. Thus pending projects cannot be penalised for RERA guidelines. Haryana Government is having soft approach towards builders.
Ongoing projects have to be registered, Bombay High Court has categorically said it, those who don’t have CC or OC at the time of notification, then it is an ongoing project. State Government has selectively put many projects outside the ambit of RERA on ground of Part OC/CC.
Haryana government purposely changed the definition of ongoing project as many projects are left outside Haryana RERA (H RERA) that includes Panchkula RERA & Gurugram RERA Authorities.
After Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh judgment, ongoing projects have to come under the umbrella of RERA at the earliest. This will bring succor for the home residents/home owners. Still H-RERA is a distant dream and to be fully functional, it will still take some time. All eyes of consumers are now on the Haryana RERA Authorities for quick disbursal of justice.

The Haryana RERA or H-RERA website is still not operational. So if you are searching for it, please don’t. State Government of Haryana lackadaisical attitude towards consumer has drawn from flak from its residents. Apart from appointments, H-RERA should start working in the interest of consumers as soon as possible.
