What happens to my money if the developer cancels the off-plan project?

If RERA cancels a project, the developer must refund buyers from the escrow account, and buyers rank ahead of the developer's other creditors. Because payments were ring-fenced in escrow, recovery is far more likely than the money simply vanishing. Refunds follow a set legal process overseen by RERA, DLD and a special tribunal, though timelines can run to several months.
