The Government has constituted a committee to suggest recommendations to strengthen the real estate law Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and to remove difficulties in its implementation. The decision to form the committee, to be headed by Union Housing and Urban Affairs Joint Secretary Shiv Das Meena, comes months after the Ministry organised four workshops where stakeholders, including home-buyers, had given suggestions for effective implementation of the RERA.
RERA, which protects the interest of home buyers, empowers States to notify their rules and appoint regulatory authorities. As of now, 28 States and Union territories have notified rules under the real estate law.
