Key Objectives of RERA: Transparency, Accountability & Protection

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) was established to bring order and reliability to India's real estate sector. Its core objectives focus on three pillars: transparency, accountability, and protection for buyers and agents.
Transparency in Real Estate Transactions
-
Mandatory Disclosure: Developers must provide accurate details about projects, including approvals, timelines, financial status, and progress updates.
-
Standardized Contracts: Agreements between buyers and developers must be fair, clear, and standardized.
-
Online Access to Project Information: Buyers and agents can verify RERA-registered projects through online portals, reducing misinformation.
Accountability of Developers & Agents
-
Project Registration: Developers must register all projects under RERA before advertising or selling.
-
Agent Registration: Real estate agents must obtain RERA certification, ensuring professionalism in transactions.
-
Penalties for Violations: Developers and agents face strict fines or even bans for misleading buyers or failing to meet commitments.
-
Fund Management Rules: Developers must keep 70% of project funds in an escrow account, preventing misuse and delays.
Protection for Buyers & Agents
-
Compensation for Delayed Possession: If developers fail to deliver a project on time, buyers are entitled to compensation.
-
Consumer Complaint Mechanism: Buyers can file complaints directly through RERA’s grievance redressal system.
-
Misrepresentation Safeguards: Misleading advertisements and false promises are punishable under RERA.
-
Agent Credibility & Business Growth: Agents benefit from a well-regulated industry, ensuring trust and smoother transactions.
By enforcing these rules, RERA creates a secure, structured environment for buyers and agents, fostering a more professional real estate ecosystem.
