Rera for land plotting projects

Hello Experts,

I am from Maharashtra and there is lot of hype over the RERA. However as a plot buyer I have following doubts...

Is Rera applicable on the Plotting projects ?

Can you please shed some light on the impact of RERA on the land plotting project ? 

As a buyer if I proceed buying the Plot for which the seller(developer) isnt RERA compliant / Registered, what will be the legal impact on such transactions.

 

Regards

Vinod

 RERA, it is mandatory for all projects, from the date of commencement of the Act (1st May,2017), to first register with the regulatory authority and only then, promoters can book, sell, advertise or market these real estate projects.

They take large area and divide plot illegally , according to me division of plot without permission of Land Record dept is illegal they simply can not divide it. 

But many do it .

Thanks a Lot sir for that valuable information.

I had made the token payment in the month of april. And now the plotting company is chasing me to complete the payment and proceed for registration. I spoke to the company about RERA, but they said that it is not applicable to them since they r not constructing any structure but only selling the plotted land which is already NA and Plots already demarcated and individual 7/12 for each plot.

Is registration still possible, without the project being RERA compliant ?

If your plot has individual 7 / 12 extract NA land , subject to title verification you can purchase it
 

Registration of sale deed is done under registration act and it is compulsory , Proper stamp duty and registration fee is required to be paid , and proper entry in land record of your name to required to be done

I was reading RERA today and remebered your matter 

Sec 3 (1) of RERA states 

No promoter shall advertise, market, book, sell or offer for sale, or invite persons to purchase in any manner any plot, apartment or building, as the case may be, in any real estate project or part of it, in any planning area, without registering the real estate project with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority established under this Act:

 
 
 Provided that projects that are ongoing on the date of commencement of this Act and for which the completion certificate has not been issued, the promoter shall make an application to the Authority for registration of the said project within a period of three months from the date of commencement of this Act:
 
 Provided further that if the Authority thinks necessary, in the interest of allottees, for projects which are developed beyond the planning area but with the requisite permission of the local authority, it may, by order, direct the promoter of such project to register with the Authority, and the provisions of this Act or the rules and regulations made there under, shall apply to such projects from that stage of registration

Aboout 3 years back, i had paid the booking amount for a plot with a builder.

The builder has still not made any progress on starting or even getting the clearances on the land.

I have made no further payment.

Will the project have to be registered under RERA, now?


(Guest)

Yes and contact local adv. for document examination and take steps accordingly 

Curious Sam (Self)     11 August 2017

Madhu, do you know the maximum interest rate any builder can charge for delayed payment on the part of an allottee, if they have registered their project under RERA? Their project itself is delayed by 3 years. This is for a flat.

(Guest)

See many Builders and Developers have not registered yet and today only read some where that high penalty is imposed and further increase will take place after 16 Aug 5pm 

So check whether your promoter has registered the project

What if the builder says that they will not book or market any more flats.

Do they then have a choice of not registering their ongoing project.

In my case, a builder has taken the booking amount for a plot in Bangalore, but not made any progress after that and not applied for any clearances from the government. Can they escape RERA by saying they are not selling any more plots?

Curious Sam (Self)     12 August 2017

Madhu, My builder has told me that they have applied for registration under RERA. It is a big builder. They are saying all their ongoing projects have been applied for, under RERA.
