No More Jail for Homebuyers – RERA Section 68 Rewritten
In a landmark relief for homebuyers, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has enforced the amendment to RERA Section 68 effective 7 May 2026. The provision for up to one year’s imprisonment has been completely removed and replaced with a civil penalty of up to 10% of the property cost. The change is part of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026.
Even Unregistered Allotment Letters Before RERA Hold Value If Money Was Paid and Flats Promised
MahaRERA’s latest order states that even pre-RERA allotment letters are valid proof of flat booking if money was paid and possession was promised. AAP Realtors and Samta Builders have been ordered to refund or allot alternate flats in the Tirumala Habitats project, with a ₹1 lakh penalty for non-disclosure.
