[ecis2016.org] What is RERA and how will it impact the real estate industry and home buyers?
Only 13 states, including Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh and the union territories, have so far notified RERA.
Home buyers’ bodies, have sought that states do not weaken the federal RERA and ensure that the final rules are framed and implemented in the true spirit of the act. The highest parliamentary body – The Committee on Subordinate Legislation (COSL) of the Lok Sabha, had reportedly taken up the slow progress in the implementation of the Act by some states and dilution of rules at the state level.

RERA mandates that the promoters of all ongoing projects, which have not received the completion certificate, register themselves with the state-level regulatory authority and provide complete disclosure of the project details. Sources said, Gujarat’s rules exempt all projects launched before November 2016, from RERA, while Uttar Pradesh excludes projects for which the completion certificates have been applied for.
“There is concern, about the treatment of ongoing projects under the new law. Not impossible but hard to implement,” CREDAI Bengal president, Nandu Belani said. Emami Infrastructure director and CFO Girja Choudhary, corroborating the problems faced by builders, said that there was need for relaxation, vis-à-vis ongoing projects. “We will highlight the same before the Bengal government,” he added.
