RERA Compliance
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) was introduced to
enhance transparency and accountability in the real estate sector. However, it is
important to understand where and how this law applies, as its applicability varies
depending on the type of real estate transaction. RERA primarily regulates residential
and commercial real estate projects, but it does not apply to the sale of land or plots
without construction obligations. In areas like Dholera SIR, transactions involving
final plots (designated land parcels) do not fall under RERA's scope. Similarly,
agricultural land, industrial land, and other specific land transactions may not come
under its jurisdiction.
Understanding these distinctions helps buyers and investors make informed decisions
based on the nature of their real estate dealings.
