At least 86 per cent of the total 1,642 housing projects launched between July 2017 and December 2018, across seven major cities have been completed so far, helped by tighter regulations under realty law RERA, according to real estate consultant Anarock. These 1,642 housing projects are registered under the real estate regulatory law -- RERA. However, in terms of number of residential units, the developers have completed only 71 per cent of the residential properties that they launched across seven cities during these 1.5 years. These cities are Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. "When it comes to ensuring timely delivery of residential real estate projects, RERA has delivered resoundingly, wherever it has been fully deployed," real estate consultant Anarock Chairman Anuj Puri said. "The overall completion rate of 86 per cent across the top seven cities in the 1.5 years following RERA implementation is remarkable, especiall

The Delhi Real Estate Regulatory Authority (DRERA) has directed real estate promoters and builders of the national capital to "appoint an 'Allottee Grievance Cell' for each project with a dedicated telephone number to redress grievances of allottees".

Real estate developers should carry out projects as per rules and must fulfil promise made to their customers, Delhi-RERA chairman Anand Kumar has said. The focus should be on building trust among the public, said Kumar. Addressing a national conference on Real Estate Development and Action Plan for New India organised by Industry body Assocham, he said a message to all stakeholders in the real estate sector to be alert.

Homebuyers of a realty project staged a protest outside the office of the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HERERA) here against the builder for neither refunding the money nor completing the project. Homebuyers of Supertech Hughes project at Sector 68 in the city also met with Union minister and local MP Rao Inderjit Singh and demanded strict action against the builder. They said that all buyers want a refund of their hard-earned money. Homebuyers allege that the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) has directed the builder to return their money for failing to complete the project within the time but the company has not complied with the RERA order. The builder is neither returning the money nor completing the project, they alleged. Possession of flats was due in 2017 but till date flats have not been constructed, a homebuyer, SK Sachdeva, said.

The Centre's move to set up a panel to examine issues related to stalled real estate projects and suggest ways for their completion is a step in the right direction, homebuyers' body FPCE said on Tuesday. The grouping also expressed hope that practical solutions would emerge for benefits of all stakeholders but rued that the panel does not have anyone representative of homebuyers. The Forum For People's Collective Efforts (FPCE), an umbrella body of homebuyers, had played an important role in enactment and implementation of RERA. Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has set up a 14-member committee headed by former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant to examine the issues related to stalled real estate projects and recommend ways to complete such projects. FPCE President Abhay Upadhyay said setting up of the panel is definitely a step in the right direction and a very welcome move to resolve the issues of pre-RERA delayed project.
