About Rera Registration

The real estate sector has been one of the top-most contributors to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment creation. Surprisingly, inspite of being such an important part of the economy, the real estate sector was unregulated for numerous years. In order to regulate the aforesaid unorganized sector, the Indian Parliament passed a legislation called as The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 ("RERA") which was made effective on May 1, 2016.

RERA is a central legislation though land is a state subject on which only the state government is empowered to frame laws. Hence, RERA being a central legislation, is adopted by each state government in India in its respective state assembly and has also framed its respective rules and regulations to implement RERA in its territory.

Advantages

Complete information to buyers

The promoter needs to issue an allotment letter to the buyer at the time of booking, including information like sanctioned plans, layout plans and specifications approved by the authorities. The promoter also needs to include details like time schedule of completion, and water, sanitation and electricity provisions.

Booking amount

The amount to be paid by the buyer has been reduced from 20% to 10%, which should be paid only after registering the agreement for sale with the builder. Termination of the agreement is permitted only if the buyer defaults on payment thrice. Buyer is entitled to a 15-day notice.

Registration

It is now compulsory for every builder to register projects with the housing regulatory body, including details like plans, approvals and other credentials.

Advertisement

No promoter is allowed to advertise any project without registering under the real estate project with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority established under this Act. Additionally, each advertisement has to carry the RERA registration number.

Compensation for delayed delivery

To counter the norm of delayed delivery, the promoter is now liable to return the total amount with interest at such rate as mentioned in the agreement to sale if he fails to give property possession within the agreed time period.

Construction Quality

RERA provides protection against any structural defects up to 5 years, that might be found after possession. The promoter is bound to rectify found defects within 30 days, free of charge.
