Purpose and scope

Proceedings No. TNRERA/2293/2026 of the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority reorganises the benches responsible for adjudicating certain real estate complaints. The stated purpose is to ensure that complaints are disposed of quickly following the assumption of office by the Chairperson and Members.

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority relies on the delegation powers under section 81 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The proceedings provide that:

  • Two benches are constituted, called Bench-1 and Bench-2.
  • Both benches will adjudicate complaints filed under section 31 of the Act.
  • The allocation applies to complaints in respect of Form-M.

Composition of the benches

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority assigns the Chairperson and Members to the two benches as follows:

  • Bench-1 consists of Chairperson Thiru. K. Phanindra Reddy, Indian Administrative Service (Retired), Member Thiru. A. Nazir Ahamed, District Judge (Retired), and Member Tmt. Reeta Harish Thakkar, Indian Administrative Service (Retired).
  • Bench-2 consists of Member Thiru. A. Nazir Ahamed, District Judge (Retired), and Member Tmt. Reeta Harish Thakkar, Indian Administrative Service (Retired).

The Chairperson is therefore part of Bench-1, while the two Members sit on both Bench-1 and Bench-2.

Who may be affected

Proceedings No. TNRERA/2293/2026 directly concern people or organisations whose Form-M complaints are filed under section 31 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Such complaints may be placed before either of the newly constituted benches for adjudication.

The document does not change property ownership, project registration requirements, complaint fees or substantive rights. It deals only with the internal constitution of the benches that will hear and decide the identified complaints.
