A "low interest" loan shouldn't mean you have very little interest in paying it back!
The Central Government of India introduced the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, with the establishment of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) to ensure that the interests of home buyers were protected while boosting the real estate sector in the country. The Government of India has also established the Appellate Tribunal to make sure that cases and complaints filed by aggrieved homebuyers were disposed of as soon as possible after proper scrutinisation.
As per the RERA Act, all real estate projects and real estate agents are mandatorily required to register with the regulatory authority. The Tamil Nadu Government sanctioned the Tami Nadu Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017 to include the provisions and rules under Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA) also monitors the real estate sector in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Hence, RERA Andaman falls under Tamil Nadu RERA. The RERA Act covers all ongoing and future projects. Failure to register with the regulatory authority is a punishable offence and can result in imprisonment or penalty.
