The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a flagship program of the Indian government aimed at providing affordable housing to all by 2022. It includes various schemes to support the construction of homes for the economically weaker sections and lower-income groups.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) is a regulatory framework introduced to bring transparency and accountability in the real-estate sector. It protects the interests of homebuyers and ensures timely completion of projects.
