The launch of the Unified RERA Portal marks a crucial milestone in the evolution of the real estate sector. According to the housing minister, this initiative will empower homebuyers, ensure timely project delivery, and instill discipline within the industry. He emphasized the importance of States and UTs implementing RERA in its true spirit to safeguard the interests of citizens.
Tokhan Sahu, a senior official at MoHUA, highlighted that over the past eight years, RERA has transformed the real estate landscape. The current focus is on expediting the resolution of homebuyers’ grievances and revitalizing stalled projects to further strengthen trust between buyers and developers.
The central advisory council (CAC) meeting, attended by Kuldip Narayan, joint secretary (Housing), MoHUA, and Srinivas Katikithala, secretary (HUA), along with various RERA chairpersons, underscored the need for a unified nationwide database of real estate projects. Such a system will support informed decision-making for homebuyers, facilitate effective policymaking, and enable better monitoring of industry trends.
To date, 35 States/UTs have established real estate regulatory authorities, 29 have set up appellate tribunals, and 27 have appointed adjudicating officers. Nationally, 1,51,113 projects and 1,06,545 agents are registered under RERA, with 1,47,383 complaints from homebuyers resolved by the authorities.
A significant part of the discussion centered on legacy stalled projects and the implementation of the recommendations from the committee chaired by Amitabh Kant. The council noted that Uttar Pradesh has already adopted these recommendations and urged other states to follow suit to address the substantial number of stalled projects.
The council also recommended adopting Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) to enhance the functioning of real estate regulatory authorities and ensure the enforcement of RERA orders. They emphasized the need for greater uniformity in RERA implementation across states, including clarity in definitions, faster registration processes, and stronger compliance mechanisms.
To streamline reforms, the council proposed the formation of a central-level committee within MoHUA, comprising representatives from all stakeholders. This committee will ensure that rules and regulations under the Act remain aligned with its overarching framework.
The launch of the unified RERA portal and the recommendations made by the council are expected to bring about significant improvements in the real estate sector, benefiting both homebuyers and developers alike.
