What is RERA?
The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) is a regulatory body established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, by the Government of India. The primary aim of RERA is to promote transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the real estate sector. It addresses various issues related to project delays, quality of construction, unfair practices, and ensures that homebuyers and investors are protected from fraud and disputes.
RERA mandates that all real estate projects (commercial and residential) that exceed a certain size must register with the authority before launching. This requirement applies to builders, developers, and agents, ensuring that buyers get accurate information about projects and can make informed decisions.
Why is RERA Important?
Before RERA came into effect, homebuyers often faced challenges such as delays in project completion, lack of transparency regarding project status, and unfair pricing. With the introduction of RERA, the real estate sector has become more organized and fair. Key benefits include:
- Timely Delivery: RERA requires developers to commit to a timeline for project completion and imposes penalties for delays.
- Transparency: Builders must provide detailed information about the project, including approved plans, project layout, and completion schedule.
- Protection of Buyer’s Rights: Any discrepancies in the project can be addressed through RERA’s grievance redressal mechanism.
- Fair Pricing: RERA helps ensure that property prices are calculated based on the carpet area rather than the super built-up area, reducing ambiguity.
