The Bihar Real Estate Regulatory Authority has directed a patna based builder Rs.33.01 lakh to a flat buyer for being unable to complete the property in the time promised. The builder has been ordered to refund the money in three instalments within two month. According to reports, the builder has also been asked to pay the interest at the Rate of Marginal Cost of funds based Lending (MCLR) of State Bank of India (SBI). As per the complaint, the complainants had asked the company’s managing director to either complete the flat on time or refund the amount paid to the builder with a 11% rate of interest as per the Clause 12 of the agreement, which the company refused to.

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) of Bihar has reportedly advised state governments to instruct all police station housing officers (SHO) to make sure that all signboards of projects at sites under the RERA jurisdiction have a perfect display of all the project details. According to Afzal Amanullah, the RERA chairman, the goal is to ensure that all prospective customers are aware of the project details in which they might wish to invest in. As per the request made by Amanullah, all sign boards must display details of the project such as the name of promoters, the RERA registration number, the date of commencement and completion of the promoted project.

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERE) in Bihar urges the state government to not register properties of builders that have not enrolled under the RERA Act, 2016. This decision was taken as it would put buyers at a disadvantage during purchase said Afzal Amanullah, the chairman of RERA, Bihar.
The builders have been asked to register the properties by the end of July 2018. Failure to comply would result in a fine of Rs.4 lakh or 400% of the registration fee of the property. RERA have also issued notices to over 130 various developers that did not comply with RERA’s policies and also to the ones that advertised without having registered their properties first.

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in Bihar has urged the registration department in the state not to register any properties of real estate builders or promoters without enrolment under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
Incomplete projects which do not have a RERA number will not be registered. In this light all builders have been asked to register their respective properties with RERA by July 31, 2018. They have to either pay a late fee of Rs.4 lakh or a 400% registration fee, whichever works out to be higher. As per the norms laid out under Section 3 (1), all builders and promoters will have to register under the provisions of the RERA Act, without which they are prohibited from undertaking any type of selling activity.
This decision has been taken in an effort to protect the interest of buyers.
