This announcement is a perfect formulation of ecosystem to bring all the stakeholders together and bring the change in the industry.”

Says Parth Mehta, Managing Director, Paradigm Realty, “The Government of India, in view to protect the interests of home buyers, have passed many reformatory changes in the last few years. This is another wise move to bring parity and professional code of conduct in the real estate practices across the state.

Unfair activities practiced by few developers, have shaken the confidence of homebuyers impacting entire sector at large. This move will help to restore trust deficit between the homebuyer and the developer which will simultaneously boost investments in the real estate industry.”
