The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) observed instances where complainants failed to include co-allottees as co-complainants, resulting in RERA benches resolving complaints after hearing only one party, rather than all allottees involved.

Subsequently, a co-allottee appeared before RERA, stating that the complainant had omitted to include their name as a co-complainant, leading to the loss of the opportunity to defend their interests.

Consequently, the authority resolved to include the name of the co-allottee as a co-complainant in complaints filed by allottees henceforth.

UP-RERA noted that joint allotment of properties is common, but the interests of co-allottees may not always align, leading to disputes. Therefore, RERA mandated that complainants include co-allottees as co-complainants in all future complaints, provided their names are mentioned in the agreement for sale (BBA) and allotment letter.

Complainants with pending complaints before RERA benches or adjudicating officers' courts have been instructed to promptly submit an application to the authority to add the names of co-allottees.
