5 / 4 THE REAL ESTATE REGULATION AND DEVELOPMENT BILL DEMYSTIFIED For decades developers could get away, thanks to an acute housing shortage, lack of organised resistance among buyers, avaricious political patronage and the absence of any governance frameworks and redressed mechanisms. The Bill puts in place a sector-governance framework across four broad areas mention below. The proposed bill brings in a much needed structure to monitor and provide oversight of this largely fragmented but critical industry. The wide ranging implications of this regulation will change the way the real estate business is conducted. Certain critical elements of current practices are not customer centric. Radius welcomes the changes that bring in transparency and fairness. portion of sales to within the project to avoid developers investing in other projects. Further, to ensure uniformity of practices each project is expected to register with a regulatory authority along with critical information relating to the project. Such information covers key parties involved and importantly, the layouts that are approved by local authority. This enables that all project information would be readily available to customers that is currently not forthcoming. The intention of this enactment is in line with international standards and forward looking developers need to evolve their business models to be even more customer centric and transparent. The success of this act will bear fruit over the next few years and will not be instant. The real estate sector in a developing economy has title, pace of approvals and changing urban planning rules. In India, land is a state government subject and each state needs to then roll out this act based on federal (central) government. Clearly, this alignment needs to be done not only in a practical manner that is lucidly understandable by customers but also should make the industry sustainable and robust. The robustness is vital for a healthy eco system where in a compliant developer should be adequately rewarded with fair returns and the industry should also impose self-regulation against the government adding one more layer to the already long list of approvals needed to make simplify the development approvals and push for a single window clearance and the local level. Regulations will be effective if uniformly applied to everyone in the eco system, including developers and also authorities that grant permissions and approvals. Ashish Shah COO, Radius Developers
