Section 18, RERA, and Rule 15, Telangana RERA Rules

RERA interest for delayed possession

The interest a builder in Telangana owes you when your flat is late: for every month of delay if you stay in the project, or on a full refund if you withdraw.

Are you staying in the project or withdrawing?

The date for handing over possession in your agreement for sale.

Leave this empty if you are still waiting: interest is worked out to today.

Payments made to the builder

Add each payment with its date, including amounts your bank paid from your home loan.

SBI's highest MCLR (8.8% from 15 September 2026) plus 2%, under Rule 15 of the Telangana RERA Rules, 2017. SBI revises its MCLR often: check the current rate.

Interest for the delay

Enter the promised possession date and at least one payment.

  • Simple interest, worked out by the day at the yearly rate. The Authority may work it out differently in your case.
  • The Authority decides which possession date applies, for example if the project's completion date was extended.
  • Compensation beyond interest is claimed separately, before the Adjudicating Officer.

Want an advocate to run this review, read the documents and report the risks before you sign?

The calculators apply the standard time limits, rates and monetary limits in the statutes, counting periods the way courts do (the day of the event is left out). Your own facts can change the answer: how and when a notice was delivered or refused, court holidays, a settlement, an earlier dispute, or the terms of your agreement or employment. The stamp duty calculator uses the published Telangana rates for a sale deed; the sub-registrar confirms the market value and the final amount. The RERA interest rate follows SBI's lending rate, which changes. The due diligence checklist lists documents and checks that commonly matter; every deal is different and may need more. These tools are general information, not legal advice, and using them does not create an advocate-client relationship. Before relying on a figure, a date or a checklist, please have an advocate review your matter.
