Attachment and auction: The recovery process may extend to movable and immovable properties and bank accounts through the competent revenue authorities.
Non-monetary relief: For orders involving non-monetary directions, K-RERA may enforce the order itself in accordance with law or transmit it to the Principal Civil Court having jurisdiction for enforcement under Section 40(2) of RERA and Rule 26.
