Indian Parliament at New Delhi... *Some salient features of Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA), which will be implemented from 1st May 2017, as confirmed by Mr. V Nadu today:* 1. One cannot change the information once entered very easily. So have to be very careful in what we upload. And the owner/Director will be responsible for all the information provided. 2. Society to formed once 51% of the flats booked even if the project is Under construction. This I feel will have a greater impact on Developers as there will be 2 Authorities checking on you i.e. RERA and the CHS. 3. Plans and layouts can be changed only with the permission from 2/3rd buyers. 4. To update the project details in 3 months but it was suggested to do it asap. 5. If the project is JV on Revenue Sharing basis the land owner will be considered as joint promoter and will be covered by RERA rules and he will be also equally responsible. Thats even true where the land owner is a CHS in case of Re Development. 6. If the project is being done phase wise and if in the 1st phase we are not providing common amenities like Club House etc.then we cannot put ads and make brochures showing common amenities. 7. At the time of registration they are asking details of past 5 years projects done and even what was the possession date promised and when was possession given. 8. Details of FSI proposed and approved. 9. Project cost estimation where in we have to bifurcate the Land Cost and the Construction cost. I feel this will make public how much is a Developers profit. 10. Estimated figures given can be changed. But there is lot of information which cannot be changed. So have to be careful will putting information. 11. Open Parking can't be sold. 12. The penalties are quite high. 13. Ongoing projects have window of 3 months to register but was suggested to do it asap to avoid last moment delays. 14. Everything online so no need to go to RERA office except for complaints hearings. Welcome to RERA world.
