Step 8 of 8: Check booking to possession
Booking to possession
Booking amounts, tracking construction, your rights on delays, and the checks at handover.
This step covers the time from your booking to the day you own and live in the flat. It starts with the booking amount, the 10 percent cap before the agreement for sale, and the cancellation terms. The construction tracking guide shows how to read the quarterly updates that builders must file on the Karnataka RERA portal. The delay guide explains your choice under Section 18 of the RERA Act: a refund with interest, or interest for every month of delay. It also covers the complaint route and the fees. The snag list guide shows how to inspect your flat before possession, and the five-year rule for defects. The last guide covers the khata transfer into your name, and forming the owners' association. A further guide explains the possession letter and what to collect with it. Two more guides cover the deed of declaration and the corpus fund. Each guide names the section or rule it relies on, with the official text linked. Use this step as a checklist after you book, one stage at a time.
