Homebuyers' Forum Urges Restructuring of RERA to Enhance Consumer Protection
The Forum for People's Collective Efforts (FPCE) has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to restructure the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) after nearly a decade of its enactment. The FPCE highlights enforcement challenges, stalled projects trapping around Rs 12.44 lakh crore of homebuyers' money, and conflicting roles of regulatory authorities promoting the sector while protecting consumers. The forum recommends separating consumer protection from sector promotion, suggesting administration under the consumer-protection ministry to better safeguard homebuyers' interests.
