RERA is just a show, not a shield

Spent the whole Sunday deep-diving into RERA compliance for Bangalore projects. Yaar, fed up of renting, finally taking the plunge. Keya Life By The Lake dekh raha tha, but builder-buyer agreement mein bahut saare clauses hain jo samajh nahi aa rahe. Has anyone actually gone through the RERA process here? Kaise check karein ki project genuinely RERA registered hai ya bas number daal diya hai? Aur agar builder delay karega, toh kya real options hain? Matlab, RERA sirf paper pe hai ya sach mein help karta hai? Sunna hai ki agreement mein penalty clauses bhi builder ke favor mein hote hain. Should I get a lawyer to review the agreement? What are the biggest red flags to watch out for?
