A Joint Development Agreement (JDA) is a contract between a landowner and a developer to develop a property. In a JDA, the developer agrees to provide various services, and the landowner agrees to provide the land for development. There are different forms of Joint Development Arrangement (JDA) that can be used for real estate projects. Some of the common forms of JDA are 1. Revenue Sharing Model: In this model, the landowner and the developer share the revenue or profits from the project as agreed in the JDA. 2. Built-up Area Model: In this model, the landowner receives a built-up area in the project in proportion to the land contributed, while the developer gets the remaining built-up area for sale. 3. Saleable Area Model: In this model, the landowner gets a share of the saleable area in the project in proportion to the land contributed, while the developer gets the remaining saleable area for sale. So, any deviation or breach of the conditions of JDA on the part of the Developer shall make him liable to face legal consequences, if such deviation/breach of condition is brought to the notice of the concerned Civic Authority sanctioning the Building plan and the real estate regulatory authority RERA.
It is mandatory on the part of the builder to stick with sanctioned maps and layout plans approved by the competent authorities prior to starting a real estate project. The builder must develop the project in accordance with such sanctioned plans and in normal circumstances builder cannot deviate from the same. It is both a builder’s liability to make the sanctioned plans available to the allottee at the time of booking or allotment as well as a right of the homebuyer to obtain the information relating to sanctioned plans, layout plans along with specifications approved by the competent authority.
