H-RERA was established following the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act of 2016 to protect the interests of homebuyers and ensure accountability in the real estate sector. However, the authority faces substantial challenges in enforcing its recovery orders. Of the total amount, Rs 148 crore was recovered through the initial 170 recovery certificates. The appointment of an adjudicating officer has slightly boosted recovery efforts, leading to an additional Rs 49 crore being recovered from 91 more cases.
Most pending recoveries involve high-profile builders, many of whom operate in Gurgaon. Despite legal orders, these builders continue to resist compliance, leaving numerous homebuyers in financial limbo. The stalled projects and unfulfilled promises have led to growing frustration among investors.
