I welcome all the panelists in the final roundtable for Track2Realty Focus 2013. As we come to the end of 2012, it is time to look in & look ahead as far as the prospects of the realty sector are concerned. In this discussion, we would try to wrap up the year 2012, and see where the sector has been heading to in 2013. So, when you look at the year Mr Sharma, don’t you think “oh! what a waste.” So much was expected this year but nothing has moved forward, be it in terms of administrative reforms, fiscal reforms or land reforms; nothing has gone right for the sector.
Track2Realty-Agencies: The fate of the Real Estate Regulatory Bill hangs in balance even after PMO steps in to resolve differences between two ministries—Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation and Urban Development— threatening to further delay the long pending Bill. The PMO has reportedly stepped in and directed the warring ministries to quickly resolve their issues over the bill which aims to protect property buyer’s interest from unscrupulous realtors.
Track2Realty-Agencies: The government is likely to come up with a Bill in the forthcoming Budget Session of the Parliament to regulate the real estate sector, Housing Minister Ajay Maken said on Wednesday, Dec 9.
Track2Realty: Dismissing the proposed RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Act) as anti-people, developers’ apex body said the sweeping powers sought to be vested with the Regulatory authority will only increase corruption by manifold, instead of checking the social malady.
Track2Realty: Calling for an end to a series of windows of corruption, developer apex body CREDAI has suggested the proposed Realty Regulator should also work for minimizing the human interface in the process of granting clearances and registrations.
Track2Realty-Agencies: The Union Cabinet on today, Oct 25, is likely to discuss the bill to regulate the real estate sector and also protect the interests of home buyers.
Track2Realty: In wake of stiff resistance from the states over the proposed regulator to safeguards the consumer interest against shady realty deals & delays, the Centre has reportedly decided to allow the states to set up their own grievance redressal mechanism.
The Union Cabinet is expected to consider the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill within a fortnight. However, while the Government intends to present the Bill during the monsoon session of Parliament, scheduled to start from August 8, single window clearance to the projects is the only stumbling block in its way.
The Centre’s plan to regulate the real estate sector by safeguarding consumers from land sharks has hit a road block with several states opposing some provisions of a proposed bill. Track2Realty has learnt that in an effort to bring states on board, the Centre intends to drop the provision of giving direction to the States under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill.
