## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

- (a) The Real Estate Regulatory Authorities have been established by States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  under  the  Real  Estate  (Regulation  and Development) Act, 2016 [RERA]. Under the provisions of RERA, the Real Estate Regulatory Authorities have been given comprehensive powers to regulate  the  sector,  to  grant,  extend  and  revoke  registration  of  the  real estate projects, to grant or reject registration of the real estate agents, to admit  the  complaints  of  the  aggrieved  allottees  and  pass  appropriate orders for  redressal of their grievances. Further, Section 35 of RERA gives powers to Authority for calling information, conduct investigations on the basis of complaint or by way of suo-motu initiatives and to conduct inquiry into the affairs of the promoters or the allottees or the real estate agents as per law; Section 36 empowers the Regulatory Authority to issue interim orders. Further, Section 37 gives powers to Authority to issue directions to the promoters or allottees or real estate agents as the case may be,  and Section 38 empowers the Authority to impose penalty or interest, in regard to any contravention of obligations cast upon the promoters, the allottees and the real estate agents, under the Act or the rules and the regulations made thereunder.

- (b)to(e): 'Land'  and  'Colonization'  is  a  State  subject.  The  data  sought  is  not maintained centrally by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

RERA protects the interests of homebuyers by infusing transparency and accountability  in  the  Real  Estate  Sector.  Under  the  provisions  of  RERA, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority of the concerned State/UT is required to publish and maintain a website of records for public viewing of relevant details of all real estate projects for which registration has been given.

As per the information available in the Ministry, 32 States/UTs have set up Real  Estate  Regulatory  Authority  and  28  States/UTs  have  set  up  Real Estate Appellate Tribunal. So far, 30 States/UTs have set up web-portals. 1,09,308 Real Estate Projects and 77,704 Real Estate Agents have been registered  under  the  provisions  of  RERA  across  the  country.  1,11,222 complaints have been disposed off by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority across country.
