The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016\u00a0is an Act which seeks to safeguard the home-buyers as well as to facilitate transparency in the home buying process. This Act came into force on 1 May 2016 to address the concerns of home buyers as well as builders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A builder cannot charge a buyer on the basis of super built-up area that includes the area of lifts, balconies, stairs, and lobbies. Moreover, the builders have to maintain a separate account for every project where 70% of the money received from the buyers will be deposited in a separate account (escrow account) that can only be used for construction purposes and land cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
