The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) was introduced to bring transparency and accountability to India's real estate sector. West Bengal operationalised WBRERA, and all residential projects above a threshold must be registered.
What RERA Guarantees You
Timely Delivery: Builders must commit to a completion date. Delays entitle buyers to interest at SBI's MCLR + 2%.
Quality Assurance: Post-possession, builders are liable for structural defects for 5 years.
Escrow Protection: Builders must deposit 70% of collected amounts into a dedicated escrow account, usable only for that project's construction.
Accurate Information: Builders cannot misrepresent carpet area, amenities, or specifications.
