(a) to (e): A statement is laid on the Table of the House.STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 297 FOR 12.03.2026 REGARDING “PUBLICATION OF ANNUAL RERA REPORTS”
(a): No. Sections 34 and 35 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 [RERA] pertain to functions and powers of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority respectively. However, Section 78 of RERA mandates the Regulatory Authority to prepare the Annual Report in such form and at such time as may be prescribed by the Appropriate Government and the same is required to be laid before each house of Parliament or the State / Union Territory (UT) Legislature, as the case may be.
(b) to (e): As per Entry 18 of List- II (State List) of 7th Schedule of Constitution of India, ‘Land’ and ‘Colonization’ are State subjects.
However, by deriving powers from Entries 6, 7 & 46 of List- III (Concurrent List), RERA was enacted by the Parliament to regulate the contractual relationship between homebuyers and promoters.
Under the provisions of the RERA, the State Government, being the 'Appropriate Government', is required to notify the Rules & establish the Real Estate Regulatory Authority in the respective State. Further, Real Estate Regulatory Authority is required to maintain a website, containing relevant details of all registered real estate projects and publish these details for public viewing.
The information sought is not centrally maintained with the Ministry.
However, a centralized RERA Web portal has been developed to streamline access for all stakeholders. Accordingly, the weblinks of the Real Estate Regulatory Authorities and their Annual Reports may
be accessed at https://rera.mohua.gov.in/.
Furthermore, under Sections 82, 83 & 84 of the Act, the Appropriate Government is empowered to issue directions to Regulatory Authority and obtain reports & returns, etc.
The issues related to non-publication of reports, enforcement of orders, among other issues have been taken up by the Ministry at various fora including Central Advisory Council (CAC) from time to time, for effective implementation of RERA and to safeguard the interests of homebuyers.
