Effects Of RERA on Ground
RERA has lofty aspirations but the on-ground reality does not yet match its ideals. SOPs are still being brought in and though many builders have been penalized till date, others are still evading the system.
Buyers who have complained to RERA against developers claim that they have received no help or compensation for their complaints.
There are 840 such cases in Bangalore alone. With frustration and hopelessness taking root, over 2000 buyers are set to stage a protest on May 18th against the government inactivity and RERA partiality to builders.
