## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a) to (g):  'Land  and  Colonization'  is  aState  subject.  The  data  sought  is  not centrally maintained by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.In order to protect the interest of homebuyers and to ensure the transparency and accountability in the Real Estate Sector, Parliament has enacted The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).Under  the  provisions  of  RERA,  the  Real  Estate  Regulatory Authority of the concerned State/Union Territory isrequired to publish and  maintain  a  web  portal,  containing  relevant  details  of  all  real estate  projects  for  which  registration  has  been  given,  for  public viewing.

RERA mandates the promoter to declare the time period within which, real estate project has to be completed. Further, Section 18 of RERA provides that, in case the promoter fails to complete or is unable to give possession of the apartment, plot or building, as per the terms of the agreement for sale, he shall be liable to refund the amount along with interest and compensation to allottees.

Moreover, RERA has an inbuilt fast track dispute resolution mechanism to redress the grievances of the consumers wherein the complaints are to be disposed within the prescribed timeframe by the Adjudication Officer, Real Estate Regulatory Authority and Real Estate Appellate Tribunal.

As  per  the  latest  information  available  with  the  Ministry  (as  on  3 rd December, 2022), 1,03,784 complaints have been disposed of by the Real  Estate  Regulatory  Authorities  and  98,523  Real  Estate  Projects have  been  registered  under  RERA  across  the  country.  State-wise implementation  details  of  RERA  (as  on  3 rd   December,  2022)  are annexed at Annexure.

Furthermore, in order to give relief to homebuyers of stalled projects, a  Special  Window  for  Completion  of  Affordable  and  Mid-Income Housing  (SWAMIH  investment  fund)  has  been  created  for  funding stalled  projects  that  are  net-worth  positive  and  registered  under RERA,  including  those  projects  that  have  been  declared  as  NonPerforming  Assets  (NPAs)  or  are  pending  proceedings  before  the National Company Law Tribunal under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
