Worried that your builder may change the layout of your flat or convert promised amenities after you've bought your home? RERA offers strong protection to homebuyers.Under Section 14 of the Act, once the sanctioned plans and specifications are shown to a buyer, the promoter can't alter them for that unit without consent, the only exception is a minor tweak the buyer asked for, or a small fix an architect or engineer certifies as structurally necessary, with proper notice given.Anything bigger, like altering walls, floors, or access points in a specific flat, needs that allottee's written consent.
