Since it was put into effect, RERA has been gaining increasing traction, particularly in terms of handling consumer complaints among various states and UTs. According to data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, as of November 28, 2023, the relevant state authorities had resolved up to 1,16,300 cases.

Out of this, 38% cases (approx. 44,602 complaints) were resolved in Uttar Pradesh alone, followed by Haryana with 20,604 cases (18%) and Maharashtra with 15,423 cases (13%). The three states cumulatively accounted for nearly 69% of the total disposed cases under RERA in the country.

Registrations for projects and real estate agents under RERA have also been increasing steadily. Almost 1,16,117 projects and 82,755 real estate brokers nationwide were registered under RERA as of November 28, 2023. Approximately 71,307 projects and 56,177 real estate agents were registered over the same period in 2021. This represents a 63% and 47% growth, respectively, over the previous two years.

“Resolving homebuyer concerns is one of the main functions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, which it has been demonstrably fulfilling,” says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “More than 1.16 lakh consumer complaints have been handled by the various state and union territories’ RERA bodies, according to official data from MoHUA. Over the previous two years, the pace of project and real estate agent registrations was not slowed down.”

“In fact, over the past two years, project registrations have increased dramatically by 63%. Also, the RERA authorities of various states and UTs have resolved over 37,397 consumer complaints in this period,” he adds. “Uttar Pradesh has resolved the highest number of cases. Considering how severely Noida and Greater Noida in UP had been impacted by unscrupulous players, this is noteworthy.”

With 36% of all projects registered under RERA to date across 34 states and UTs, Maharashtra continues to lead the field in project registrations. With a share of 16%, Tamil Nadu is next, followed by Telangana and Gujarat, which have shares of roughly 7% and 11%, respectively.
