RERA is overrated; builder's *past* legal history is the real deal.
Did a site visit to Ansal Aastha Mig Zone on 150 Feet Ring Road last weekend, and honestly, I'm a bit shaken. Everyone talks about RERA registration and compliance, but yaar, is that really enough? My parents keep saying builder ka track record dekho, not just current RERA status. I mean, builders like Ansal API have a long history, not all of it clean. What if they have a history of delays or quality issues in other cities, even if their Rajkot project is RERA-registered? RERA bas current project ka details deta hai, right? How do you actually check a builder's *past* legal issues or consumer complaints from other states? Not just the official RERA site, but proper due diligence? I feel like reliance on RERA alone is a huge trap. It's like checking someone's current driving license without knowing if they had 10 accidents before. Change my mind, but builder ka full legal history is way more important than just RERA compliance.

This is exactly what happened to my friend with a project in Krishna Kunj. RERA registered tha, sab paper work clear, but builder ne 2 saal tak delay kiya. Ansal API has been around since 1967, so their history is HUGE, full of projects across India. It's not just about Rajkot; their reputation from their New Delhi HQ and other ventures should matter. It feels like RERA gives a false sense of security sometimes, especially with established players who know how to navigate the system.
This is scary! So what do you do if a builder delays even after RERA? What are
Exactly! RERA is just a starting point, not the finish line for research.

U3, it's tough, yaar, there's no one-stop shop. For builders like Ansal API, headquartered in New Delhi, you'll have to dig deep. Try searching old news archives online, checking consumer forums specific to other cities they've built in, and sometimes even state legal aid websites or court records can give hints. It's a lot of manual work, but that's the 'due diligence' your parents are talking about. RERA only covers the current project's legality, not the builder's entire past reputation.
Your point about Ansal API's long history since 1967 is spot on. But how do we *actually* check past legal issues or consumer complaints from other states? Koi specific website hai kya jo consolidated data provide kare builder ka pura history?
Totally agree with you! Meri bhi yahi tension hai. RERA list dekh ke toh sab clean lagte hain, but past ka kya? It's so confusing for first-time buyers.
