STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  LOK  SABHA  STARRED QUESTION  NO.  297  FOR  12.03.2026  REGARDING  'PUBLICATION  OF ANNUAL RERA REPORTS'

- (a):  No. Sections 34 and 35 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 [RERA] pertain to functions and powers of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority respectively. However, Section 78 of RERA  mandates  the  Regulatory  Authority  to  prepare  the  Annual Report in such form and at such time as may be prescribed by the Appropriate Government and the same is required to be laid before each  house  of  Parliament  or  the  State  /  Union  Territory  (UT) Legislature, as the case may be.
- (b) to (e): As  per  Entry  18  of  List-  II  (State  List)  of  7 th   Schedule  of Constitution  of  India,  'Land'  and  'Colonization'  are  State  subjects. However,  by  deriving  powers  from  Entries  6,  7  &  46  of  List-  III (Concurrent List), RERA was enacted by the Parliament to regulate the contractual relationship between homebuyers and promoters.

Under the provisions of the RERA, the State Government, being the 'Appropriate Government', is required to notify the Rules & establish the Real Estate Regulatory Authority in the respective State. Further, Real Estate Regulatory Authority is required to maintain a website, containing relevant details of all registered real estate projects and publish these details for public viewing.

The information sought is not centrally maintained with the Ministry. However,  a  centralized  RERA  Web  portal  has  been  developed  to streamline access for all stakeholders. Accordingly, the weblinks of the Real Estate Regulatory Authorities and their Annual Reports may be accessed at https://rera.mohua.gov.in/.

Furthermore, under Sections 82, 83 & 84 of the Act, the Appropriate Government is empowered to issue directions to Regulatory Authority and obtain reports & returns, etc.

The  issues  related  to  non-publication  of  reports,  enforcement  of orders,  among  other  issues  have  been  taken  up  by  the  Ministry  at various  fora  including  Central  Advisory  Council  (CAC)  from  time  to time,  for  effective  implementation  of  RERA  and  to  safeguard  the interests of homebuyers.
