Indeed, the Indian economy has opened up to the world and foreign funds are set to roll in. The new Indian Real Estate Regulatory Bill is set to discipline a construction industry valued at over $126 bn through three major principles: transparency, accountability, and efficiency. As outlined in the Report 'Real Estate Regulatory bill – Half Bridge of Hope', commissioned by The Big 5 Construct India, the bill establishes the Real Estate Regulatory Authority for each state as the government body for both residential and commercial real estate transactions. The same authority will be approached for reparation of grievances against a developer.
According to the bill, the developer has to park 70% of the project funds in a dedicated bank account to ensure adequate funding is available for timely delivery of the project. It is now mandatory for developers to make important information available to RERA and in effect to the consumers. This includes the project plan, layout, government approvals, land title status, sub-contractors to the project and a schedule for completion.
The new law makes the practice of selling on the basis of vague built-up area for a real estate project, illegal. Also, it marks a provision for imprisonment of builders and real estate agents in case of violation of rules. A delay in project completion will make the developer liable to pay the same interest as the EMI being paid by the consumer to the bank. And the maximum jail term for a developer who violates the order of the appellate tribunal of the RERA is three years with or without a fine.
