- (a) & (b):  'Land'  and  'Colonization'  are  State  subjects.  In  order  to  protect  the interest of homebuyers and to ensure transparency and accountability in  the  Real  Estate  Sector,  Parliament  has  enacted  the  Real  Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 [RERA].

As per the provisions of RERA, State Governments being the appropriate Government are required to establish Real Estate Regulatory Authorities to regulate and develop the Real Estate Sector. Further, the Appropriate Governments are empowered to take suitable action  in  case  Regulatory  Authorities  are  unable  to  discharge  the functions as provided under RERA.

As on 17 th  March 2025, in the State of Andhra Pradesh 6075 Real Estate Projects and 238 Real Estate Agents have been registered under RERA and 359 complaints have been resolved by Andhra Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority. Further, State-wise data of RERA implementation is Annexed.

- (c):  The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has not established any Data Collection Unit for compiling state-wise information on implementation of  RERA.  However,  information  regarding  implementation  status  of RERA as received from States/UTs is published on the website of the
- Ministry from time to time.
- (d) & (e):  State Governments being the Appropriate Governments are empowered to  take  suitable  action  for  ensuring  that  the  Regulatory  Authorities discharge their duties and functions as provided under RERA.

Further,  RERA  empowers  the  Real  Estate  Regulatory  Authority  to impose penalties on promoters or revoke the project registration if the promoter violates the provision of the Act.

RERA also mandates the Real Estate Regulatory Authority to operationalize  the  website  with  certain  specific  information.  Further, the  promoter  is  mandated  under  RERA  to  update  Quarterly  Progress Reports on the website the Real Estate Regulatory Authority.

Additionally,  the  Real  Estate  Regulatory  Authority  is  mandated  to prepare its Annual Report providing details of the activities, accounts, programme of upcoming year etc.

Moreover, Central Government has been constantly holding consultations  with  all  the  stakeholders  and  the  issues  raised  are shared  with  the  respective  State  Governments  for  taking  necessary action.
