REGULATORY UPDATESREAL ESTATE REGULATORY ACT (RERA)
among many developers of pre-launching projects without getting requisite approvals from the local a u t h o r i t i e s a n d i t w i l l m a k e mandatory project registration with the regulator. Developers will also have to disclose approval status, project layout and timeframe for completion to the regulator as well as customers.
The developer will now have to deposit 70% of the project funds in a separate account, which can only be used for the earmarked project. Diversion of funds to other projects was a major reason for project delays and this will address it effectively.
Today, real estate buyers have only the brochures or ads in newspapers to go by while making property investment decisions. But with the implementation of this Act and the establishment of State-level RERAs, every developer launching any residential project with area of over 5 0 0 s q u a r e m e t r e s o r e i g h t apartments, has to register it with RERA and upload all the project details to the RERA site before he initiates any sale.
T h e d e t a i l s u p l o a d e d b y t h e developer must include the number and types of homes for sale, site and l a y o u t , p a y m e n t s c h e d u l e s , s c h e d u l e o f c o m p l e t i o n a n d quarterly updates on the status of the project too.
T h u s , R E R A m a i n t a i n s comprehensive records for every project across the entire chain, from the conceptualisation of the project to its completion. Each State will also have an Appel late Tr ibunal to adjudicate and deal with real estate disputes. RERA is a gift for the public, who earlier had to approach the Courts for such disputes.
Now, the buyers and developers will be liable to interest at the same overriding their agreement clauses. Buyers would also have the option to
continue with compensation or to exit from a project that is delayed. Buyer will also have the benefit of security regarding title of the land and building in which the units they are interested in is being constructed which is required to be insured by the developer without prejudice to the c o n t i n u i n g o b l i g a t i o n o f t h e developer to be liable to the buyer for defect in title of the land.
In essence, the Bill intends to i n c r e a s e t r a n s p a r e n c y a n d accountability in the real estate sector, by providing mechanisms to facilitate and regulate the sale and p u r c h a s e o f c o m m e r c i a l a n d residential units/projects and timely completion of projects by the promoters.
Now, the challenge before the Government would be to establish the Regulatory Authority (or any other authority, in the interim) within the timeline prescribed under t h e A c t i n o r d e r t o s t a r t implementing the provisions of the Act effectively.
Also, a single-window clearance is needed now, without which there may be cases where bona-fide delays by developers may still result in an unfair penalty. The time taken to get many environmental, state-level and municipal-level clearances have afflicted developers for long. The central government, on its part, has b e e n w o r k i n g t o s t r e a m l i n e approvals and has set up a 30-day approval period recently. The Model Building Byelaws have also been released.
All in all, the incumbent government has succeeded against various odds & given Indian real estate its most valuable card. The bill is a verdict to e n d t h e a g e o f i n f o r m a t i o n asymmetry, lack of accountability and unwarranted project delays, and marks the beginning of r ising transparency, liquidation of assets - &, importantly, positive sentiment.
ver wondered why shares, mutual funds and deposits are so tightly regulated, but there seem to be no regulations for the biggest investment decision we’ll
ever make - buying a home? With the Rajya Sabha passing the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill, property transactions will now be subject to a regulator - the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in all states.
WHAT IS IT?
RERAs are intended to perform the same role for property transactions as the SEBI does for secur ity transactions in the capital markets.
This is a major reform, which promises to bring in the much - n e e d e d t r a n s p a r e n c y a n d accountability in the real estate sector. It will enhance consumer protection by facilitating that the consumer gets the product and on time as promised, thereby increasing consumer confidence as well as helping to create lasting developer brands strong on quality and timely delivery of their projects.
Once it is implemented, RERA will reduce the contrast seen in this sector in form of piling unsold inventory generally faced by fly-by night developers and price rise in projects by reputed developers since they have relatively less unsold inventory and build the trust back from its current situation of trust deficit between the two most important stakeholders - builders and buyers.
As there will be strict punishment for errant developers as well as fines for project delays and faster redressal to consumer complaints, the problem of over structuring as is rampantly prevalent in the industry will be addressed. All in all, it will help make this sector more mature.
It will disallow the common practice
