The Indian real estate sector’s CAGR is estimated to be 11.2% at present, and its market value is likely to cross $180 billion by 2020, and $1 trillion by 2030. Despite such rapid growth, until recently, investors faced issues relating to pricing, quality, and delivery of projects as the sector was unregulated. This called for the intervention from the authorities in the form of stricter laws and better regulation. In 2016, the government addressed this concern via RERA.
What is RERA?
To curb unethical behaviour by real estate developers, promoters or agents and to protect homebuyers’ interests, the Government of India implemented the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) in 2016. According to RERA Act, every state and union territory in India has to establish a Real Estate Regulatory Authority to oversee the real estate sector within its boundaries.
Accordingly, the government of Madhya Pradesh, just like the states of Punjab, Haryana, West Bengal and others, introduced the RERA Act, Madhya Pradesh. The Madhya Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority was established on 1 May 2017 to instil transparency and accountability in the state’s real estate transactions.
