RERA Punjab

RERA stands for Real Estate Regulatory Authority and it was implemented under The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The Act was formulated to protect the interests of the real estate sector consumers and to increase the transparency as well as the accountability of the deals between the buyers and developers. RERA regulates the functioning of the real estate sector in that area. RERA Punjab works in a similar way and has a website where the builders and developers have to register their ongoing and upcoming projects on a regular basis. Real estate agents in Punjab have to register on the Punjab RERA website. If they fail to do so, penalties will be imposed on them. The homebuyers can lodge complaints against the developers in the RERA website and the RERA Punjab authorities will conduct enquiry about it before delivering judgements.

RERA Punjab has a list of regulations which infuses transparency in the deals between buyers and developers or real estate agents. Take a look at the functions of RERA Punjab.
