Karnataka notifies RERA

Karnataka notifies RERA




BENGALURU: The Karnataka government has notified the Real Estate Regulatory (Regulation and Development) Act on Monday making it mandatory for all the builders to register with the regulator.


The Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017 shall come into force from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette, said Kapil Mohan, principal secretary to the Karnataka's department of housing.

Last week, the Karnataka Cabinet had approved the Real Estate Regulatory (Regulation and Development) Act with a few changes, paving the way for the setting up of a regulator for the sector.

According to the Karnataka RERA Rules, the builders should disclose the size of the apartment based on carpet area. The rule also mentions that for ongoing projects that are yet to receive a completion certificate, the promoter shall within a period of three months of the application for registration of the project with the authority, deposit in a separate bank account, 70% of the amounts already realised from the buyers.

The Karnataka RERA Rules also state that the builders will need to furnish details of the past or ongoing litigations in relation to the real estate project on the real estate regulators' website. The rate of interest payable by the promoter to the allottee or by the allottee to the promoter, as the case may be, shall be the State Bank of India highest marginal cost of lending rate plus 2%.

It has done away with imprisonment and stated that on payment of 10% of the estimated cost of the real estate project, any person in custody in connection with that offence shall be set at liberty and no proceedings shall be instituted or continued against such person in any court.

The regulations does not contain harsh penal provisions; instead, the rules prescribe that the real estate regulator's orders will be enforced by the adjudicating offer or the authority or the appellate tribunal in the same manner as if it were a decree or the order of a principal civil court. If the authority itself is unable to execute the order, then it has to send it to the jurisdictional principal civil court seeking its execution.

The rules also provide for any amount due to any party before the authority to treat as Land Revenue (if any one fails to pay it), and recover it as provided in the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964.

Which is a Better Investment: Real Estate Or Stocks? Work and save aggressively, knowing that a life without the worries of money is a good life! There’s always a long standing debate among investors on whether property makes a better investment proposition to shares. There’s no denying that the stock market historically outperforms other types of investments. And if you have to choose between investing in real estate and stocks, it might seem like a no brainier. Some people think the stock market is the better alternative because the real estate market is unstable at its best. There’s no guarantee that property values will appreciate from year to year and when home price gains slow or decline, investors take a serious hit.

What is RERA? What are it's salient features? How does it protect the buyers and what is the difference in scenario before and after it? This bill was passed by the Parliament on March 15, 2016, and the Act came into force on May 1, 2016. From a common man perspective, it was meant to address some of the pain points of a typical property buyer: What is the recourse when a project hand-over is delayed by the builder/ pro-motor? How does one verify that a specific property meets the statutory norms as set by the local civic bodies? Hence the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act was introduced to help the common man. Its primary goal is to bring tighter regulations into the system, thereby bring transparency and accountability to the whole home-ownership experience. The Act applies to both residential and commercial real estate projects. The basic principles and vision for this Act were drafted by the Center, and then for each of the states to individually set...
