The  Stateannexed.

- (d) & (e): As per Section 2 (g) of RERA, State Government is the 'Appropriate Government' for notifying the Rules and establishing Real Estate Regulatory  Authority  and  Appellate  Tribunal  in  the  State.

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

As  per  Section  41  of  RERA,  Central  Advisory  Council  (CAC)  has been  constituted  under  the  Chairmanship  of  Hon'ble  Minister  of Housing  and  Urban  Affairs.  The  Council  acts  as  a  permanent institutional  platform  to  discuss  and  deliberate  all  the  matters related  to  RERA.  The  concerns  raised  by  all  the  stakeholders, including  homebuyers,  are  brought  to  the  notice  of  respective Appropriate Governments and Regulatory Authorities from time to time. Further, as per the directions of CAC, best practices of the States/Union Territories (UTs) related to effective implementation of  RERA  are  shared  by  the  Ministry  with  all  the  Real  Estate
