  • There have been several cases, where developers have even gone to the extent of not mentioning the date of possession in the agreement, leading to mental and financial trauma for the home buyers.
  • The Act prohibits unaccounted money from being pumped into the sector and as of now 70 per cent of the money has to be deposited in bank accounts through cheque is now compulsory.A major benefit for consumers included in the Act is that builders will have to quote prices based on carpet area not super built-up area, while carpet area has been clearly defined in the Act to include usable spaces like kitchen and toilets.
  • There are many frauds like fake promise
    s, project delay, deviation from approve plan, cheating over titles &     conveyance, rental returns trap, untimely approvals, hidden charges, formation of project based company to reduce liability / legal issue etc. by the builder lobby, were in the life time earning of a common person has been eaten by them.

  •  The Bill applies on both commercial & residential projects.
  • The Bill provides for mandatory registration of all projects and real estate agents who intend to sell any plot, apartment or building with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority.
  • It makes mandatory the disclosure of all information for registered projects like details of promoters, layout plan, land status, schedule of execution and status of various approvals.
  • The Bill also seeks to enforce the contract between the developer and buyer and a fast track mechanism to settle disputes.
  • Developers need to put aside 50 percent of the proceeds of a particular project in a bank account according to the Bill. This will prevent developers from diverting funds meant for construction and ensure timely completion of projects.
  • The Bill also includes a condition that prohibits a developer from changing the plan in a project unless 2/3rd of the allottees have agreed for such a change. Minor additions or alterations will, however, be permissible due to architectural and structural reasons.
  • The Bill has provisions for tough penalty for putting out misleading/deceptive advertisements about projects. For first time offenders, the penalty could be as high as 10 per cent of project costs. For repeat offenders, there could be a jail term of up to three years.
  • The Bill makes it mandatory for builders to define “carpet area”. Currently, most developers sell property citing “super built-up area,” which is 25-40 per cent more than the actual usable area.
