Can a complaint be filed against a builder after 5 years?
Dear Client, Yes, a complaint against a builder may still be filed after five years in certain cases. It will depend on the nature of your grievance, the applicable limitation period and the facts of the case. If there is a continuing cause of action or an ongoing deficiency in service, you may still have legal remedies. It is advisable to have the relevant documents examined to determine the best legal remedy. Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further queries or need assistance.
Dear client, as per your query, Yes, you generally can absolutely file a complaint against a builder after 5 years, but the success depends on the type of issue, the law used (RERA vs. Consumer Court), and proving the "cause of action" still exists or it falls under a longer window, with RERA often allowing up to 5 years for structural defects, while Consumer Protection generally has a 2-year limit from when the problem arose, though the courts can condone delays if justified. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
Yes, you can still file a complaint, but you must explain the delay and show valid reasons. You can go to Consumer Court or RERA, depending on the issue.
