The centre has notified the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 for the union territories (UTs) without legislatures, while other UTs and states have to frame their own laws, using the central act as a template, without diluting its spirit.
Singh said the ministry had convened a meeting of officials of states and UTs last month to apprise them about the provision of the act. “During the meeting, they were informed that the rules cannot be ultra vires of the act,” he said.
