Homebuyer representatives seek a national RERA appellate tribunal and statutory exit protections for buyers facing job losses.

By News National Editorial Team

Homebuyer representatives have urged the Central Government to strengthen India's real estate regulatory framework by establishing a national RERA appellate tribunal and introducing additional protections for property buyers.

The demand was raised following a meeting between a delegation from the Forum for People's Collective Efforts and officials of the Cabinet Secretariat.

The issue highlights continuing concerns about delayed housing projects, financial difficulties and the difficulties faced by homebuyers seeking legal remedies.

Demand for a national appellate tribunal

The representatives have called for a national-level appellate mechanism to improve the resolution of disputes arising under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

RERA was introduced to improve transparency and accountability in India's real estate sector.

However, homebuyers and industry participants have raised concerns about differences in implementation and delays in dispute resolution across states.

Protection for buyers facing job losses

One of the demands concerns statutory exit clauses for homebuyers who face job losses or serious financial difficulties.

Such protections could help address situations where buyers cannot continue paying instalments because of unexpected changes in their financial circumstances.

The proposal requires consideration of legal, contractual and financial implications before it can become policy.

Why RERA matters

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act seeks to protect buyers and promote greater transparency in property transactions.

Its objectives include:

  • Registration of eligible real estate projects.

  • Disclosure of project information.

  • Accountability of developers.

  • Regulation of advertising and sales practices.

  • Improved mechanisms for addressing buyer complaints.

What happens next?

The proposals highlight the need for further discussion between government authorities, regulators, developers and homebuyer organisations.

Any changes to the existing framework would require appropriate government and legislative action.
