RERA effect : Maharashtra govt to ‘name and shame’ officials who don’t clear builders’ files on time, delay construction

-
Good news for Mumbaiites, corrupt officials will no longer be able to delay construction work by refusing to clear builders’ files quickly. Not only will the newly formed housing regulatory body pass strictures against such officials, the state will also take action against them under the Right To Services Act.
Experts said the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), will speed up the approval process across the state. The news was welcomed by the real estate sector, which said projects tend to drag on for years owing to delays.
Gautam Chatterjee, interim chairman, RERA, said guilty officials would be ‘named and shamed’. “We will examine cases and if we find that officers are responsible for delays, we will pass strictures against them. We will forward cases to the concerned authority, who will take action against the guilty parties,” said Chatterjee. “The process will help us pinpoint who is responsible for the delay,” he added.
The move is significant as builders had expressed concerns that while they will be penalised under RERA norms for delivering houses late, there are no clauses penalising officials responsible for delaying permissions. They said this was unjust as it would lead to them being penalised for reasons beyond their control.
