Chennai:
The realty sector could now heave a sigh of relief with the much pending real estate regulatory bill being cleared by the Rajya Sabha.
The act would pave the way for Tamil Nadu setting up State Real Estate Regulatory Authority once the state ratifies the Act.
The National chairman of Confederation of Real Estate Developer’s Association of India (Best Practices) T Chitty Babu told Express that the Act is a welcome move as it will give a level playing field for developers.
“This would regulate the approval process,” said Babu. However, developers feel the Real Estate Bill has failed to bring an important stakeholder into its fold that is the government.
Babu says that there are four stake holders in the development of a project. One is the developer, the other financial institutions and third is customer. However, the fourth stake holder, the government has not been brought into the ambit of the bill. “The government plays an important role in the approval process. Now we will have 58 windows and a Door,” he said.
But then the act would also be beneficial to the consumer. As per the act, the developer has to keep 70 per cent of the project funds in a dedicated bank account. This will ensure that deelopers are not able to invest in numerous projects with the proceeds of booking for one project. The Act will also stop the practice of selling on the basis of ambiguous super built-up area as carpet area has been clearly defined.
The Act would also regulate the real estate brokerage business in Chennai worth approximately around Rs 500 to Rs 600 crore a month Chenna i Real Estate Agents Association (CREAA) has earlier urged the state government to implement the Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs) to regulate brokerage business in the city once parliament passes the Real Estate ( Regulation and
Development) Bill.
