Functions and duties of promoters are clearly defined under RERA act:
1) The Act mandates that a promoter shall deposit 70% of the amount realised from the allottees, from time to time, in a separate account to be maintained in a scheduled bank. This is intended to cover the cost of construction and the land cost and the amount deposited shall be used only for the concerned project.
2) Withdrawal can only be made after it is certified by an engineer, an architect and chartered accountant in practice that the withdrawal is in proportion to the percentage of completion of the project.
3) The promoter is also required to get his accounts audited within six months after the end of every financial year by a practicing chartered accountant.
He will also have to get verified during the audit that:
i) The amounts collected for a particular project have been utilised for the project
ii) The withdrawal has been in compliance with the proportion to the percentage of completion of the project.
Obligations of promoter are clearly defined under this act.
Restriction on transfer and assignment: The promoter shall not transfer or assign his majority rights and liabilities in respect of a project to a third party without obtaining prior written consent from two-thirds of the allottees, except the promoter and without the prior written approval of the Regulatory Authority.
