If RERA revokes registration of a project, what effects
will it have on the builder/ developer?
When the registration of a builder/developer
is revoked by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), it can have
significant consequences for the builder/developer and their real estate
projects. Here are some effects that revocation of registration can have:
1.
Inability to Sell or Market Units: Once the
registration is revoked, the builder/developer loses the authority to
advertise, market, or sell any units in the project. They are prohibited from
engaging in any promotional activities related to the project.
2.
Legal Consequences: Revocation of registration
may lead to legal proceedings against the builder/developer. Homebuyers or
affected parties may initiate legal action seeking compensation, refunds, or
other remedies for the violations or non-compliance that led to the revocation.
3.
Project Stagnation or Suspension: Revocation
of registration can result in project stagnation or suspension. The builder/developer
may be unable to continue construction or development activities until the
registration is reinstated or until alternative measures are taken to address
the situation.
4.
Loss of Trust and Reputation: Revocation of
registration can severely impact the builder/developer's reputation and
credibility in the real estate market. It can lead to a loss of trust among
potential buyers, financiers, and other stakeholders, making it difficult for
the builder/developer to secure future projects or investments.
5.
Penalties and Fines: Revocation of
registration may be accompanied by penalties and fines imposed by the
regulatory authority for the violations or non-compliance. The
builder/developer may be required to pay these penalties, which can have a
financial impact on their operations.
6.
Obligation to Refund Buyers: If the revocation
is due to project non-completion or other violations affecting buyers'
interests, the builder/developer may be obligated to refund the amounts paid by
homebuyers along with appropriate interest as per the RERA regulations. This
can create financial burdens and liabilities for the builder/developer.
It is important to note that the specific effects of revocation may vary
depending on the circumstances, the state's RERA regulations, and any
additional actions or measures taken by the regulatory authority. Each state
has its own rules and procedures for handling revocation cases.
Builders/developers should consult legal professionals and adhere to the
regulatory authority's instructions in such situations to mitigate the
consequences effectively.
