Jammu & Kashmir Real Estate Regulatory Authority is driving structural reforms and stricter enforcement of layout norms. Revised master plans for Jammu and Srinagar are nearing notification. A 450-acre land parcel in Srinagar is slated for monetisation. Government agencies must register projects with RERA. The authority aims for a regulated and planned real estate ecosystem across the Union Territory.

The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has imposed a daily penalty of Rs 3,000 on a realty developer for failing to comply with its earlier order. The developer was directed to pay the penalty for non-completion of the ‘Green Space Bagiratha’ project and non-adherence to statutory norms.

Odisha Real Estate Regulatory Authority (ORERA) has registered 4,334 cases against 714 builders since 2017, with 1,028 still pending. Procedural and legal bottlenecks, including lack of cooperation and delay tactics by lawyers, are hindering resolution. The government is implementing measures like increased staffing and public awareness campaigns to expedite justice for homebuyers.

The Maharashtra government is set to intensify its drive to recover long-pending dues under MahaRERA. State minister Shambhuraj Desai told the assembly that the current recovery rate of 34 percent must be significantly improved. District collectors have been directed to fast-track these cases, including identifying and attaching properties of defaulting builders.

Haryana RERA has ordered Parsvnath Hessa Developers to pay over Rs 77 lakh to a couple for a delayed apartment on Golf Course Road. The developer failed to hand over possession of the flat in Parsvnath Exotica, which was due in 2015, and lacked an occupation certificate. The compensation covers loss of profit due to property value escalation.

H-RERA Gurugram has ordered Elan Buildcon to pay outstanding fixed returns to commercial unit allottees in ‘Elan Miracle’ and execute conveyance deeds within three months.

Karnataka Rera is intensifying its crackdown on unregistered real estate projects to protect homebuyers. The authority has received hundreds of complaints regarding non-compliant developments. Officials are verifying project statuses and initiating action against promoters, highlighting challenges in enforcement due to independent planning approvals and low buyer awareness.

Rajasthan RERA has ruled that banks cannot claim rights over flats booked by allottees before a loan was created. The authority also stated that RERA proceedings can continue against builder directors and landowners even during insolvency. This order protects homebuyers in the Avalon Royal Park housing project, where a builder mortgaged the project after selling over 700 flats.

TG-RERA has warned developers and agents against misleading homebuyers with pre-launch advertisements lacking mandatory registration numbers. Projects requiring RERA registration are those exceeding 500 sq m or with more than eight units. Several entities, including Godrej Properties, received show-cause notices for non-compliance, with some ads failing to display registration numbers or adhering to guidelines.

Karnataka RERA has initiated action against 155 promoters for failing to submit mandatory quarterly project reports. This move aims to enhance homebuyer rights and ensure builder accountability. Promoters face penalties for non-compliance, with a deadline set for March 31 to submit pending updates without charges.
