    What happens to my money if a project gets cancelled

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    In the unlikely event that a Real Estate Regulatory Agency RERA approved project is cancelled the laws are designed to protect the investor. Your funds which are held in the regulated escrow account do not go to the developer directly. RERA will take control of the escrow account and begin a liquidation process to refund investors their deposited money. This legal framework provides a safety net ensuring that your capital is not lost if the project fails to materialize.
