RERA: Promoters Must Prove Land Title

27 Mar 2024 CW Team

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has issued a directive stipulating that promoters must substantiate their legal title over the land on which their projects are situated. This mandate aims to ensure transparency and legal compliance within the real estate sector, safeguarding the interests of homebuyers and investors.

Under the new directive, promoters are required to provide conclusive evidence of their ownership or legal rights pertaining to the project land. This includes presenting relevant documentation such as title deeds, land acquisition records, and approvals from regulatory authorities.

The move by RERA underscores its commitment to promoting accountability and integrity in real estate transactions. By mandating promoters to verify their legal title over project land, RERA aims to mitigate risks associated with disputes over land ownership and enhance consumer confidence in the sector.

The directive is expected to have significant implications for real estate developers, necessitating thorough due diligence and documentation processes prior to commencing construction on any project. Failure to comply with RERA's requirements could result in penalties and regulatory action against promoters.

Moreover, the mandate reinforces RERA's role as a regulatory watchdog, tasked with overseeing the implementation of fair and transparent practices within the real estate industry. By enforcing stringent regulations, RERA seeks to uphold the rights of homebuyers and ensure the orderly growth of the real estate market.

Overall, RERA's directive requiring promoters to substantiate their legal title over project land represents a proactive step towards enhancing accountability and legal compliance in the real estate sector, thereby fostering greater trust and confidence among stakeholders.
