This new authority will be operational from December 16, 2024, and is expected to bring much-needed transparency and accountability to the real estate market in the region.
According to a notification issued by the J&K Housing and Urban Development Department, the establishment of JKRERA is in line with the central government's Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).
The authority will be responsible for ensuring that real estate projects in J&K adhere to the regulations laid down by the act, protecting the interests of homebuyers, and promoting a fair and sustainable real estate market.
The JKRERA will be headed by a chairperson and will have a team of experienced professionals with expertise in real estate, law, and administration.
The chairperson and members will be appointed by the J&K government, following a transparent and merit-based selection process.
The authority will have the power to register real estate projects, issue compliance certificates, and penalize defaulters.
The move to establish JKRERA comes at a crucial time when the real estate sector in J&K is witnessing a surge in demand, especially in urban areas like Srinagar and Jammu.
The growing population and increasing urbanization have led to a rise in property prices and a proliferation of poorly regulated real estate projects.
The authority is expected to address these issues by ensuring that developers follow the prescribed norms and provide reliable and transparent information to homebuyers.
One of the key responsibilities of JKRERA will be to ensure that all real estate projects are registered and that developers provide accurate and up-to-date information about the projects, including the project’s status, expected completion date, and any changes in the project’s specifications or costs.
The authority will also monitor the progress of the projects and take appropriate action if developers fail to meet their commitments.
Furthermore, JKRERA will play a crucial role in resolving disputes between homebuyers and developers.
The authority will have the power to hear and adjudicate complaints related to delays, poor quality of construction, and other issues.
This will provide homebuyers with a mechanism to seek redressal and ensure that their rights are protected.
The J&K government has also highlighted the importance of public awareness and education in the implementation of JKRERA.
The authority will conduct regular awareness campaigns and workshops to educate homebuyers and developers about their rights and responsibilities under RERA.
This will help create a more informed and empowered real estate market in J&K.
The establishment of JKRERA is expected to boost investor confidence in the real estate sector in J&K.
With a more regulated and transparent market, both local and external investors are likely to feel more secure in investing in real estate projects in the region.
This, in turn, is expected to spur economic growth and create more job opportunities in the construction and allied industries.
In conclusion, the formation of JKRERA is a significant step towards modernizing the real estate sector in J&K.
It will not only protect the interests of homebuyers but also promote a more sustainable and responsible real estate market.
The J&K government's commitment to this initiative is a positive sign for the future of the region's real estate sector.
