West Bengal comes up with its own real estate laws, despite RERA

The Centre’s target to bring all new and ongoing real estate projects under Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has received a setback as West Bengal government has notified its own law for the sector in the state which favours the developers. There are two major dilutions of RERA in the new laws. The first is on unforeseen circumstances that prevent a builder from fulfilling his contract. RERA says the circumstances could be war, flood, drought, fire, cyclone, earthquake or any other calamity caused by nature where HIRA makes an addition to the clause “...or any other circumstances as may be prescribed.” The second deviation is on garages. While RERA requires a roof and walls on three sides, HIRA has removed the clause altogether and defined garage as any parking space sanctioned by the government authority.

According to Afzal Amanullah,  Bihar RERA   Chairman “The registration of incomplete flats or apartments put the real estate buyers in a very disadvantaged position as the developers refuse to complete their obligations once the registration was done. Therefore, we have requested the registration department not to register incomplete projects and the projects which don’t have RERA number.” July 31 st , 2018 is the last date to register ongoing projects with RERA Bihar with a late fee of Rs. 4 lakh or 400% of the registration fee, whichever is higher.
