New Delhi, Oct. 21 (PTI): The Centre will send a special team to six northeastern states later this week to resolve issues pertaining to the implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
An official of the Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry said that the six northeastern states— Arunchal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim — have not notified the legislation and its rules so far due to land and other issues.
The act, which provides proper protection to home-buyers, was enacted by Parliament and states were given powers to notify their respective rules and appoint regulatory authorities.
"There are some land issues with regard to the implementation of RERA that's why six northeastern states have not notified the act. To resolve all these issues which are coming in the way of enforcing the law, a special team of the ministry will go to these states on October 26," the official said.
According to the official, the ministry team will have meetings with officials of these six states and address their concern regarding implementation of the central real estate law. The official said 13 states have so far appointed a permanent regulator, while 14 have interim regulators.
