Are there any restrictions on ADVERTISEMENTS or
promotions UNDER RERA ?
Yes, there are specific restrictions on
advertisements and promotions under the Real Estate (Regulation and
Development) Act (RERA). The aim of these restrictions is to ensure
transparency and protect the interests of homebuyers. Here are some key points
regarding the restrictions on advertisements and promotions under RERA:
1.
Advertisements only for Registered Projects:
Developers can advertise and promote only those real estate projects that are
registered with the respective state's RERA authority. It is mandatory for
developers to obtain registration before advertising, marketing, or selling any
units in the project.
2.
Display of RERA Registration Details: All
advertisements and promotional materials related to the registered project must
clearly display the RERA registration number obtained from the regulatory
authority. This helps buyers verify the authenticity of the project and
protects them from misleading or fraudulent practices.
3.
Accurate and Verified Information:
Advertisements and promotions should provide accurate, complete, and verified
information about the project. Any claims or representations made in the
advertisements must be substantiated with proper evidence and documentation.
4.
No Misleading or False Information: Developers
are prohibited from providing misleading or false information in their
advertisements or promotions. They should not make any false claims about the
project's amenities, facilities, specifications, or approvals.
5.
Approval and Permissions: Advertisements and
promotions should not give the impression that the project has obtained all
necessary approvals, clearances, or permissions if they are still pending.
Developers must accurately disclose the status of approvals and permissions in
their advertisements.
6.
No Unfair Trade Practices: RERA prohibits
unfair trade practices, including false representation, misleading
advertisements, and any other practices that may harm the interests of
homebuyers. Developers are required to comply with fair practices while
advertising and promoting their projects.
7.
Penalties for Non-Compliance: Non-compliance
with the advertising and promotion guidelines under RERA can lead to penalties
and fines imposed by the regulatory authority. The penalties may vary between
different states' RERA regulations.
It is essential for developers to adhere to these advertising and
promotion restrictions to ensure compliance with RERA regulations. Buyers
should also be vigilant and verify the RERA registration details and other
project information before making any investment decisions
