The Game Changer
The implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) in 2016 was a watershed moment for the Indian real estate sector. It brought much-needed transparency, accountability, and efficiency to the industry.
Key Protections for Homebuyers
- Standardized Carpet Area: Builders can now only charge based on the carpet area (usable space), not the super built-up area.
- Escrow Account: Developers must deposit 70% of the project funds in a dedicated bank account, ensuring funds are not diverted to other projects.
- Strict Delivery Timelines: Builders face severe penalties for project delays, ensuring timely possession.
- Defect Liability: Developers are responsible for repairing any structural defects for 5 years after possession.
