The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 commonly referred to as RERA, is one of the crucial acts to be enacted in the country for the promotion of transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the real estate sector.

Registration of a real estate project in RERA usually takes four to eight weeks with necessary completion of documents and with regulatory authority approval.

Defects Liability:
If the developer faces defects related to construction, then RERA resolution usually takes a few months to a year depending on the severity of the defects and the willingness of the parties involved to resolve the same.
Penalties and Non-Compliance Issues:
If a business commits any default under RERA, like failure to register a project or delay in possession, then it may take as long as 3 to 6 months to resolve such issues with the regulatory authority, depending upon the type of violation and corrective action taken.
The RERA law registers a real estate project and also includes the registration of agents. RERA law establishes regulatory authority in each state, therefore providing a framework for resolving issues in the sector.
This law is very essential when dealing with residential as well as commercial real estate sales. It applies to various builders, developers, estate agents, and all similar parties.
Some of its main provisions are underlined below:
Project Registration: Developers need to register all real estate projects with RERA before advertising or selling.
Project Details Disclosure: Developers have to disclose project details like project plans, completion dates, and timelines for possession.
Defects Liability: Builders have to rectify the structural defects of the property within five years from the date of possession.
Transparency in Payments: Developers are required to reveal the project’s financial details, including the source of funding, and are not allowed to alter the project’s specifications without the buyer’s consent.
Real estate law, especially RERA, has a huge impact on business firms in the real estate industry. Here are some of the ways RERA impacts businesses:
Mandatory Project Registration:
Any business firm involved in real estate development or construction has to register their project with RERA. This includes residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. If a project is not registered, the authority can impose fines or even suspend the project.
Transparency in Operations
RERA makes sure that developers give the necessary details about the project, including timelines, specifications, legal status, and dates of possession. This regulation will ensure that all dealings are transparent and trustworthy, hence creating consumer confidence for businesses.
Business houses need to be financially accountable, and RERA ensures that developers cannot make significant changes to the project specifications without buyer consent. That regulation safeguards consumer interests and protects businesses from litigation due to breach of contract or delayed delivery.
Mechanism of Dispute Resolution
RERA gives homebuyers as well as developers a systematically processed dispute resolution process. Hence, the possibility of protracted litigations is quite lesser, and business could gain a faster solution for most complaints about delay in completing projects, non-payment issues or quality-related problems.
Defects Liability
Project defects have to be rectified within five years from acceptance, and business houses will be required to keep tabs of this responsibility to steer clear of lawsuits by harassed homebuyers.
Compensatory Actions in case of Non-Compliance with Regulations
Non-compliance with RERA regulations can lead to penalty, cancellation of the projects, and legal disputes. For businesses, it will be a compliance with each and every aspect of law to avoid fines, reputation damage, and delay of projects.
