What is RERA?

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) was introduced to protect buyers and bring transparency to the real estate sector. It is a landmark legislation that has transformed the way business is done in this industry.

Key Benefits for Buyers:

• Transparency: Developers must disclose all project details on the RERA website.
• Financial Discipline: 70% of the project funds must be kept in an escrow account.
• Timely Delivery: Developers face penalties for project delays.
• Quality Assurance: Any structural defect within 5 years must be repaired by the developer free of cost.

As a buyer, always ensure that the project you are investing in is RERA registered. This simple step can save you from a lot of future headaches.
