The Kerala Real Estate Regulatory Authority (K-RERA) has imposed a penalty of around ₹1 crore on real estate promoters for not registering their projects with the authority.

Registration with K-RERA is mandatory as per rules, and non-compliance could invite fine up to 10% of the project cost.

“The public should visit rera.kerala.gov.in before buying a property to confirm whether it is registered under the authority. Real estate agents who are dealing with projects should also register with the authority,” K-RERA chairman P.H. Kurian said here on Saturday.

Maintaining that the sale of land above 12 cents in plots will also come under the purview of the authority, Mr. Kurian urged buyers of units in commercial real estate to approach the authority and verify whether the promoters had received all necessary clearances.

With the real estate sector in the State showing signs of revival in the post-pandemic scenario, Mr. Kurian said the authority had initiated steps to ensure that buyers received interest from promoters for the delay in delivering property in time.

However, projects that received occupancy certificates before May 1, 2017 will not come under the ambit of the authority.

Around 650 of the total 1,147 cases against lapses in real estate projects registered by buyers have been resolved, according to official estimates.

At least four real estate projects are getting registered every day in the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) this year in the state. If the number of registration of projects is anything to go by to understand the real estate scenario in Madhya Pradesh, the projects registered in the past three months this year in MP, is more than the total number of projects registered in the year 2020-2021.

RERA officials said, along with big cities, applications are being received for project registration from small towns like Dindori, Jhabua, Katni, Alirajpur, Rajgarh, Betul and Shajapur. As a result of this, there has been an expected increase in the project registration work of RERA this year as compared to last year.

The number of registered projects in the year 2020-2021 was 232 while 352 projects have been registered so far this year. This is 50% more than the previous year. Due to the second and third wave of corona in the financial year 2021-2022, the office work has also been adversely affected.

RERA Secretary Neeraj Dubey has informed that about 1,706 registrations were done after a brief examination in the already ongoing projects at the time RERA Act came into force.

Around 1,116 and a total of 2,822 projects have been registered in the subsequent four years. The average of new project registrations for four years is about 279, while in the fifth year alone the number of registrations has increased to 352. To ensure compliance of the provisions of the Act, the authority has issued notices to the colonizer in about 42 cases and also imposed fines. It may be mentioned that such action has been taken for non-compliance of the orders passed in favor of the allottees. The registration of a project has also been cancelled, officials added.

Even more important is that the information, updated in every quarter, helps customers to review the progress. All these details are freely available on the website,” he told TNIE.

Projects adhering to K-Rera’s norms are a safe bet for customers. While registering a project with K-Rera, the promoter has to upload all details of the project on w ww.rera.kerala.gov.in They include audited balance sheet of the promoter, track record, records of land ownership, sanctioned plans and NOCs from the authorities concerned. This facility will allow customers to make informed choices. The quarterly updates by the promoters help customers in continuous monitoring.

It should be a real estate development with a land area of more than 500 sq m; plot development projects which require development permit/layout approval under Kerala Panchayat Building Rules, 2019/ Kerala Municipality Building Rules, 2019; development of more than 8 numbers of flats, shops, office space, godowns etc which are intended to be transferred to another person(s) on leasehold or freehold basis.

The dilly-dallying approach in the establishment of Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has finally come to an end with Housing and Urban Development Department setting into motion an exercise for the appointment of Chairperson and two Members and formal orders are likely to be issued by the end of next month.

The Parliament in the month of March 2016 had enacted the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act for regulation and promotion of real estate sector and to ensure sale of real estate projects in an efficient and transparent manner and to protect the interest of consumers.

The Section 84(1) of the Act confers powers on the Governments of States and Union Territories to frame Rules to carry out the implementation of law. In exercise of this power, the Government of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir framed J&K Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2020 and the same were notified by the Housing and Urban Development Department on July 22, 2020.

However, no immediate steps were initiated for establishment of Real Estate Regulatory Authority and the dilly-dallying approach was highlighted by EXCELSIOR in its edition dated December 3, 2020. It was revealed that implementation of Central Law could not begin even several months after the framing of Rules in the absence of Real Estate Regulatory Authority.

Finally, the Housing and Urban Development Department has started an exercise for the appointment of Chairperson and two Members of the Authority by inviting applications from the eligible persons. All these applications will be placed before a Selection Committee consisting of the Chief Justice of the High Court or his nominee, the Secretary of the Housing and Urban Development Department and Secretary of Department of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs strictly as per Section 22 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

It is pertinent to mention here that a person having adequate knowledge of and professional experience of at least 20 years in urban development, housing, real estate development, infrastructure, economics etc is eligible for the pose of Chairperson while as for the posts of Members 15 years experience has been fixed and eligibility criteria is same.

Moreover, a person who is or has been in the service of the Government shall not be appointed as Chairperson unless such person has held the post of Additional Secretary in the Central Government or any equivalent post in the Central Government or State Government.

Sources disclosed that entire exercise vis-à-vis setting up of Real Estate Regulatory Authority by appointing Chairperson and Members will be completed by the end of next month so as to ensure that fast expanding real estate sector in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is regulated in a transparent manner.

“The Authority will have the powers to direct the promoter, allottee or real estate agent to furnish in writing information or explanation and requisition any public record or document or copy of such record from any office”, sources said, adding “after the establishment of Authority, the Government will initiate steps to set up Real Estate Appellate Tribunal so that any person aggrieved by any direction or decision or order made by the Authority may prefer an appeal before the Appellate Tribunal”.

They further said, “there is also a provision in the Act that until the establishment of an Appellate Tribunal, the Government may designate by order any Appellate Tribunal functioning under any law for the time being in force, to be the Appellate Tribunal to hear appeals under the Act”.

It is pertinent to mention here that since real estate sector is growing fast in the length and breadth of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir there is a dire need for regulating in most transparent manner. Everybody-promoter, allottee and real estate agent have been covered under the Act and Rules so that the sector is regulated properly.
