What is the role of RERA in India’s residential real estate market?

RERA (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act) has revolutionized India’s residential real estate by enhancing transparency and streamlining project delivery.

• Transparency: Developers must register projects under RERA, ensuring accountability.
• Escrow Mechanism: 70% of project funds must be in an escrow account to prevent fund misallocation.
• Penalty & Dispute Resolution: RERA can penalize non-compliant developers and facilitate dispute resolution.
• Timely Delivery: Builders face penalties for delays, ensuring on-time completion.
• Boost to Buyer Confidence: With more legal protection, homebuyers feel safer investing in real estate.

RERA fosters a more organized sector, raising investor trust and setting higher standards in the industry.
