Real Estate sector pegging on more investment and transparency post RERA

'Real Estate Regulation Act, 2016 (RERA) - Are we ready?' a survey-based Report, reveals that a majority of the respondents are of the view that RERA will bring transparency and authority in doing real estate dealings and hence will reduce the litigations going forward. They also felt that RERA will boost the governance hold on the sector. This will eventually lead to increase in Foreign Domestic Investments (FDI) into the sector in near future. This will also improve the ease of availability of financing options in the market. A major outcome of the survey is that industry feels that the rule of depositing 70% of sales proceeds in a separate account will help in getting timely delivery of the project and eliminate fly-by-night operators in the real estate.
