The RERA Act (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act) was launched by the central government in 2016, to help protect the rights of the common man against falling prey to unscrupulous builders and property developers. Even if launched by the Central government there are evidences that the Act has not yet been implemented by most States in the country.

What is RERA Act?

RERA (Real Estate Regulations And Development) Act is a act that is made to help protect the rights of home buyers. Under the Act it is certain that home buyers can launch or report of any complaint against developers and real estate builders who malpractice and default home buyers.

Under the Act it is certain that each builder and land developer has to follow it as the central government had already declared it mandatory. So the moment any land developer or builder wants to launch his new project then it is certain that he may have to register himself under the RERA act.

The Act launched by the Centre government is yet not very much functional in the country because most states have not managed to implement it at their state level.

Why do we need RERA Act?

RERA Act offers protection to home buyers as there are a number of malpractices done by many developers and builders due to lack of proper laws and regulations.
Under the RERA act it is certain that each builder and developer is expected to get registered or else he will be entitled for paying a fine of 10 percent of the overall cost of the project along with imprisonment of up to 3 years.
It is also certain that at the time of registration of any project the developer is expected to submit complete details related to the project to the authority.
It is also mandatory that the developer provides with detailed information related to the projects approved layout plan including agreement, project cost, timeline details that will also be signed by the prospective buyers.
Under the new regulation it is mandatory that developers who do not get registered under this act will not be able to advertise their project for the buyers.
It is also certain that RERA act will be implemented by each of the state government within their states.
Once the Act has been fully implemented then it is certain that buyers will no longer have to go for trials in consumer courts as real estate regulators will help complete the procedure of trials on behalf of the home buyers.
Implementation of RERA act will thus ensure that home buyers will not have to waste their time and money going to consumer and sessions courts against any default done by the developers.
At the time of registration for any project it is also certain that developers are expected to make a deposit of over 50 percent of the project payment done by the home buyers in the bank account that will only be used by the builder for completing the project on time.
It is also certain that the Act will force the builders and developers to make use of the buyer money only for the registered project and at the same time will prevent developers from using that money for other projects.
Under the act the developers can ensure that any project signed by the home buyer will be completed within the stated time frame by the developer.
Once the RERA act is fully functional then it is certain that the overall cost of the property and homes will be regulated and lowered and so more number of pending projects by the developers will be completed on time this stabilizing the current property market.
