This move is expected to encourage timely submission and boost compliance among developers, ensuring smooth operations and transparency for homebuyers. Currently, developers are required to submit QPRs within seven days of the quarter's end. Failure to do so results in the quarter getting locked on the portal, disabling any new submissions until a processing fee of INR 10,000 is paid for a month's extension.
However, many developers fail to submit QPRs despite the extension, resulting in penalties. The updated rules aim to simplify the submission process by removing the need for chartered accountant and engineer certifications. This will save developers' time and streamline the process.
Non-compliance will still be subject to penalty, and developers will be required to pay a lump sum amount and late processing fees for previous unfiled QPRs. The GuJIRA's decision to revise the rules is a significant step towards enhancing transparency and compliance in the real estate sector.
The new rules are expected to benefit homebuyers by providing them with timely and accurate information about project progress. This, in turn, will help build trust and confidence in the market. The GuJIRA's efforts to streamline the QPR submission process and impose penalties for non-compliance are likely to have a positive impact on the real estate sector in Gujarat.
The Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (GuJIRA) is a regulatory body established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Its primary objective is to regulate and promote the real estate sector in Gujarat, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in all transactions.
In conclusion, the GuJIRA's revised rules for QPR submissions mark a significant step towards enhancing transparency and compliance in the real estate sector. The new rules are expected to benefit both developers and homebuyers, promoting a more efficient and accountable market.
