Setting up Haryana RERA delays by a month, misses deadline yet again

October 31, 2017

Haryana real estate authority misses the deadline for setting up the HRERA authority yet again. The authority will now be functional only by the end of November. In a recent development, the CM of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar proclaimed that the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority members would be appointed by October 31 and the authority will be functional by November 1. “ The interview for the post of chairman of HRERA is scheduled for November 4. Interviews for other posts and the process of appointment will follow. The government is expecting the authority to set up by November-end& quot said a senior Haryana government official. The state government has received a total number of 596 applications for registration under HRERA, out of which 338 have already been registered. The state has also received 571 applications by agents, of which 540 agents have been registered under HRERA so far. The homebuyers are strongly criticizing the Haryana government for delay in setting up the HRERA authority. Even though Haryana notified its Rera rules in July, homebuyers are still clueless and confused about whom to approach with complaints related to their housing projects. Over a period of three months, the HRERA has not even managed to resolve more than 10% of the total number of complaints filed with it. On October 12, 2017, the Chief Minister of Haryana assured the aggrieved homebuyers, who had come to lodge complaints against the builders in different regions of Gurgaon, that their complaints would be addressed in a procedural manner by the HRERA authority. But due to some technical problems the state has failed to operate the HRERA from November 1.
