The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, is a law that mandates the creation of a Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in each state to ensure that developers adhere to strict guidelines, including timely project completion and adherence to project specifications.
LRD loans, or Long-Term Real Estate Development loans, are designed to provide long-term financing for real estate projects such as residential complexes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure developments.
Improved credit profiles enable real estate professionals to secure LRD loans at lower interest rates and with more favorable terms, such as longer repayment periods. This reduces their overall financing costs and enhances their financial flexibility.
The 'evergreening of loans' is a practice where banks extend the maturity of loans without proper scrutiny, leading to prolonged loan periods and higher interest costs. New regulations require banks to conduct thorough diligence before extending loans, ensuring only viable projects receive funding.
The regulatory environment can be complex, and compliance with all guidelines can be challenging. However, the benefits of improved credit profiles and more affordable LRD loans outweigh the challenges, making it essential for professionals to stay informed and compliant.

The real estate sector is hoping for a boost from the new government, with fine-tuning of RERA, industry status, and a relook at GST on under-construction homes topping the agenda.
