Uttar Pradesh has disposed of the most complaints in 4 years (nearly 26,510 cases), followed by Haryana with 13,269 cases & Maharashtra with 9,265 cases; the 3 states together accounted for 75% share of disposed cases.

Of all projects registered under RERA to date across 34 states/UTs, Maharashtra accounts for a 45% share. Gujarat comes next with a 13% share, followed by Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka with about 6% share each, and Uttar Pradesh with a 5% share.
