In order to protect the interest of home buyers, the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs has enacted the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). As per Section 20 of the RERA, the ‘Appropriate Government’ i.e. the States/UTs are required to establish Real Estate Regulatory Authority to regulate and promote the real estate sector in the respective States/UTs.

As per the provisions of RERA, real estate projects and real estate agents are required to get registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority of the concerned State/UT before advertising, marketing, booking, selling in any manner. Real Estate Regulatory Authority is required to maintain a website, containing relevant details of all registered real estate projects and publish these details for public viewing.

For redressing the grievances/complaints/applications of home buyers, RERA provides for an Adjudicating Officer, Real Estate Regulatory Authority and Appellate Tribunal and provides a robust mechanism for the purpose.
