Commentary on RERA The Real Estate

This Commentary on RERA systematically unpacks the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016 and its implementing rules, combining clause-level statutory annotation with regulatory practice guidance and curated case-law. Chapters explain scope and definitions, promoter obligations (disclosures, escrow and timelines), registration procedures for projects and agents, buyer protections, functions of Real Estate Regulatory Authorities, adjudication by adjudicating officers and appellate tribunals, and compliance & penalty regimes. The volume contains practical tools: model registration forms, prescribed disclosure templates, sample complaint and reply formats, compliance checklists for escrow/accounting and timelines, and litigation-strategy notes for appeals and interim relief. Special sections discuss recent regulatory circulars and state-level rule variations, dispute-resolution trends, and policy implications for affordable housing and project-delays. Designed for both courtroom and boardroom use, the book helps lawyers draft robust RERA filings, assists promoters in building compliant processes, and supports consumer advocates in enforcement.
