State → National appeal period
Most guides say 30 days (Section 51). One guide says 45 days. The tool uses 30 days — check the order itself, which states the appeal period.
Sources & how we verify
Accuracy over completeness. A fee, limit or procedure ships as “verified” only when at least two independent published sources agree on it — or it comes from an official government source (a Lok Sabha answer, the portal itself, or the Act). Where sources disagree, the conflict is written down here, and the tool uses the majority value with a warning. We would rather leave a detail out than publish a wrong number for a filing.
Official sources
- e-Jagriti portal — e-jagriti.gov.in — the unified filing portal for all Consumer Commissions since 1 January 2025 (merged e-Daakhil, OCMS, CMS and CONFONET).
- National Consumer Helpline — consumerhelpline.gov.in — INGRAM, the pre-litigation grievance platform (1915).
- National RERA portal — rera.gov.in — the MoHUA unified portal, use it to find your state RERA.
- Lok Sabha answers — the revised fee slabs (2023 amendment) and the e-Jagriti / NCH programme details, as answered by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs in Parliament.

Conflicts and single-source items — shown, not hidden
National → Supreme Court appeal period
Most guides say 30 days (Section 67). One guide says 45 days. The tool uses 30 days.
RERA 3-year limitation
Generally applied via Article 137 of the Limitation Act, as the RERA Act itself does not fix a limitation period. Shown as “generally 3 years” — file sooner rather than later.
RERA interest rate
Typically SBI MCLR + 2% per year, but state rules differ (Uttar Pradesh: MCLR + 1%). The tool never states a single rate as universal.
Rajasthan RERA form letters
One guide reports Rajasthan uses Form N for the Authority and Form O for the Adjudicating Officer, ₹1,000 each — a single source. Confirm on the Rajasthan portal before filing.
Some .gov.in RERA portals could not be reached from our server
Direct connectivity checks from this server failed for several .gov.in portals (they resolve in DNS and are confirmed by multiple published directories). All portal URLs published here are the official portals. If a link does not open for you, search “[state] RERA official” and use only .gov.in results.
What we left out — and why
| Item | Why it is not in the tool |
|---|---|
| State RERA portals for Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Goa, Himachal Pradesh and other states | Portal URLs were not confirmed by two independent published sources. Use the national portal rera.gov.in to find your state's RERA. |
| Exact RERA complaint fees for states other than Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu | Only the “₹1,000 in most states; ₹5,000 in Maharashtra” range is confirmed. Always check the fee shown on your state portal before paying. |
| RERA interest rate for each state | Rates are set by state rules and differ (typically SBI MCLR + 2%; Uttar Pradesh uses MCLR + 1%). Only the typical rate is published here. |
| CCPA (Central Consumer Protection Authority) complaint route | Not covered in phase 1 — the tool covers the NCH, the Consumer Commissions and RERA. |
| Product-liability claims (Chapter VI, Consumer Protection Act, 2019) | A separate procedure with different parties (manufacturer, service provider, seller). Not covered in phase 1. |
| Execution and enforcement steps after an order | Not covered in phase 1 — the tool covers filing up to the order and the appeal deadlines. |
Outdated numbers we deliberately do NOT use
- District limit ₹1 crore / State ₹1–10 crore / National above ₹10 crore — the original 2019 Act figures. The 2021 Rules lowered them to ₹50 lakh / ₹2 crore. Many blogs still show the old figures; this tool uses the 2021 limits.
- Old fee slabs (₹200 up to ₹5 lakh, ₹400 for ₹5–25 lakh…) — the pre-2023 fees. The August 2023 amendment made claims up to ₹5 lakh free and reset the slabs. This tool uses the 2023 table.
- edaakhil.nic.in as the filing portal — e-Daakhil was merged into e-Jagriti on 1 January 2025. This tool points to e-jagriti.gov.in.
