'GST Council may soon clarify on exemption of tax to Rera bodies'

The GST Council is likely to soon clarify that Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) will not be required to pay Goods and Services Tax (GST), an official said. According to the official, RERA, which functions as a regulator as well as facilitator for the realty sector, is covered under Article 243G of the Constitution dealing with powers, authority and responsibilities of panchayats. RERA was set up in different states to ensure transparency in real estate projects, protect the interest of consumers and to establish an adjudicating mechanism for speedy dispute redressal. The official said that after discussions with RERA functionaries about the nature of their function it was decided that GST is not applicable on them. The official further said that RERAs are funded by respective state governments and hence levying GST would mean taxing state governments. A meeting of GST Council, chaired by Union Finance Minister and comprising state ministers, is likely to be held before the

Rera fines developer Rs 25 lakh for misleading ad on DDJAY project

Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), Gurugram, has imposed a penalty of Rs 25 lakh on Yashvi Homes Pvt Ltd for publishing a misleading advertisement on a Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana (DDJAY) project.

Further, the promoter did not mention the details of the registration number of the project and the website of RERA, which is required under the regulations, it said. "While there is no provision for amenities like school, club house, swimming pool, badminton court, half basketball court, etc, in the approved layout plan submitted by the promoter at the time of registration, the same has been mentioned in the advertisement," said a RERA spokesperson said.

Give details of person authorised for correspondence: UP Rera to promoters

The Uttar Pradesh RERA on Monday directed promoters of real estate projects to provide name, designation, mobile number, e-mail ID, residential address, office address etc. of their person authorized for correspondence, officials said.
