How to File an Authority or Adjudicating Complaint (Form A / Form B) on GujRERA Portal — Step-by-Step Guide

Complete step-by-step guide for filing a Form A (Authority) or Form B (Adjudicating Officer) complaint on the GujRERA 2.0 portal. Covers the ECOURT complaint form, all sections, ₹1,000 fee payment via SBI ePay, complaint stamp number, and how to track your complaint on the dashboard.

How to File an Authority or Adjudicating Complaint (Form A / Form B) on GujRERA Portal

Any registered GujRERA portal user — allottee, buyer, or other aggrieved person — can file a formal complaint against a promoter or other party through the GujRERA ECOURT module. Two types of complaints are available:

Form Legal Basis Filed Against
Form A Section 31 of RERA Act 2016 — Complaint to Regulatory Authority Non-compliance by promoter, agent, or allottee
Form B Section 31 read with Section 71 — Application to Adjudicating Officer Compensation claims for loss or damage

Registration fee: ₹1,000 (non-refundable) for both Form A and Form B. Payment is via SBI ePay gateway.

Before filing: GujRERA Rules 12C requires you to send a Registered AD Post to the respondent before filing a complaint. You must upload the AD Post Acknowledgement Receipt as a mandatory attachment in the form.

Source: This guide is based on GujRERA User Manual – Grievance Redressal – External Users (V.0.1), Section 2 (pages 4–16), published by Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority.

Before You Begin

  • You must have a registered account on the GujRERA portal. New users must Sign Up first.
  • Any respondent you add by email search must also be registered as a USER on the GujRERA portal.
  • Prepare: the Project Registration Number of the project in dispute, the AD Post Acknowledgement Receipt (as per GujRERA Rules 12C), and any supporting documents (sale deed, booking form, brochure, etc.).

Step 1: Log In to the GujRERA Portal

Go to https://gujrera.gujarat.gov.in/ and click the Login button in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Choose Between Conciliation and Formal Complaint

A popup appears asking “Do you want to opt for conciliation?”

  • Click Yes → redirected to the Conciliation Forum application (faster, informal dispute resolution — see the Conciliation guide).
  • Click No → proceeds to the formal complaint form (Form A / Form B).

Read the conciliation notice carefully — choosing No proceeds to the formal complaint form; conciliation requires respondent consent

Common Issues

“Add More Respondent by Search” — email not found: The respondent’s email must be registered as a user on the GujRERA portal. If the promoter is not registered, fill the respondent’s details manually in the DETAILS OF THE RESPONDENT(S) block and click Add Into the List.

AD Post Receipt upload missing: The AD Post Acknowledgement Receipt is a mandatory field under GujRERA Rules 12C. The form will not proceed without it. Send the registered post to the respondent before filing and keep the receipt ready before starting the complaint form.

Payment deducted but confirmation not received: Note the GujRERA Unique Token Number from the Payment screen. Contact GujRERA via a Support Request under the Finance & Accounts department, or email epay-rera@gujarat.gov.in with the token number and SBI ePay transaction details within 7 days.

Complaint shows DRAFT status: A DRAFT status means payment was not completed or the form was saved without submission. Click Edit Draft next to the entry to resume and complete payment.

Cannot file Form B (Adjudicating Officer) — eligibility: Form B is for compensation claims under Section 71 of the RERA Act. If the Authority determines the complaint is not eligible for adjudication, it may redirect the case or require you to file Form A instead.
