Regulatory Bodies Impacting the Real Estate Market of India

In India, the demand and supply of realty sector depends upon the economic conditions. In this scenario, the role of regulatory norms becomes more important than ever before. In order to make investments appealing for the Indian masses, the government has contributed its bit for the country. By easing out rules and regulations for building commercial projects, townships, built-up infrastructure and other such property segments, government has made the entire process hassle-free. Knowing that the real estate industry is one of the biggest segments to offer employments to people, it is rather essential to bring a change with the course of time.
Following are a few examples of how the process of buying property in India is evolving rapidly to tackle the regulatory issues -
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Earlier last year, the Union Cabinet has passed its recommendation to ease out FDI norms of the country.  From a decrease to the minimum built-up area to a change in minimum capitalization, Indian government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure better availability of resources for developers and buyers. Thus, through such measures taken by the authority of India, real estate is definitely showing some great signs of revival.
Regulation and Development Bills
Apart from relaxing the FDI, government is also making sure that there are enough laws to mandate some privileges for buyers. The Real Estate Regulation and Development Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha in 2013 and has been in action since May 2016. After the much-hyped regulatory bill was passed earlier this year, buyers have been able to invest their money with improved transparency in transactions and timely execution of a property. Therefore, after the launch of this Real Estate Regulatory Authority, almost all of the real estate processes are now being governed under one roof.



Apart from the aforementioned real estate regulations in India, advancement in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) has also become somewhat vital for the entire development process. These trusts functioning on the model of attracting small term investments are also expected to drive regular foreign investments. The role of REITs remains crucial as they are the ones investing in the completed real estate projects that are capable of generating revenues. By creating a visible process of raising finance in the realty sector, REITs are gradually becoming an integral part of the governing system of India.
