Centre to Review Real Estate Act

The Central government is set to conduct a review of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), which was introduced eight years ago to bring transparency, accountability, and fairness to the real estate sector. The review aims to evaluate the enforcement of orders issued by RERA authorities and assess the overall impact of the act in protecting the interests of homebuyers while ensuring a fair regulatory environment for developers. As part of the review, the Centre has sought detailed reports from state-level RERA authorities on the current status of enforcement, focusing on the efficiency and effectiveness of the orders passed.

RERA was designed to address issues related to delayed projects, non-compliance by developers, and to provide a grievance redressal mechanism for homebuyers. The review will look into how well the act has been implemented and whether RERA orders are being enforced in a timely manner. Several homebuyers and stakeholders have raised concerns over the slow pace of enforcement, particularly with respect to resolving disputes and holding developers accountable for violations.

The government’s move to review RERA comes amid growing complaints from homebuyers regarding project delays and non-adherence to approved plans. While RERA has led to more transparency in the real estate market, many believe that enforcement remains weak, with developers often circumventing the penalties imposed by the authorities. The Centre’s review could lead to amendments aimed at strengthening the enforcement of RERA provisions, ensuring that orders are effectively implemented, and providing quicker relief to aggrieved homebuyers.

By seeking feedback from RERA authorities across the country, the government aims to improve regulatory oversight, making the real estate sector more reliable and trustworthy, thus boosting homebuyer confidence and promoting sustainable growth in the industry.
