More Projects Under RERA Ambit

Very recently, the Supreme Court upheld the jurisdiction of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016 on all realty projects that were ongoing and had not received Completion Certificates until the law came into effect. This means that states that had diluted the provisions and not included many under-construction projects under RERA ambit are now expected to bring such projects under it.

Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group says, “RERA rules had been diluted in many states and many under-construction projects not completed at the time of RERA’s implementation did not come within its ambit. Through this verdict, the court has given more powers to RERA, and it now covers such under-construction projects as well.”

“As a result, we may see increased residential project completions in the times to come,” says Puri. “Many developers with under-construction projects outside RERA had focused their resources on projects that did come under its ambit. This is no longer an option. The number of heavily delayed and even stalled units is likely to reduce. As per ANAROCK data, as of July 2021, nearly 6.29 lakh housing units launched in 2014 or before were incomplete or stalled across the top 7 cities.”

Another key issue addressed by the Supreme Court earlier was regarding the provision of appeal for developers whom RERA has fined. Previously, the appeal option was often used as a reason to delay matters. It has now been clarified that while fined developers can appeal, they must nevertheless deposit at least 25% of the fine amount with RERA.

As has been pointed out, RERA is a process, not an event. This process is well underway and RERA is gaining ground – and teeth. The primary purpose of rebuilding confidence in the real estate sector is thus being fulfilled, albeit gradually, as RERA must undo the damage of decades of opaque and unregulated activities in the sector.
