RERA Launches Unified Digital Platform to Track Projects, Protect Buyers

In a significant move to enhance transparency and coordination in the real estate sector, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs launched the Unified RERA Portal during the 5th meeting of the Central Advisory Council (CAC) under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), 2016. The event took place at Sankalp Bhawan, New Delhi.

The meeting began with a welcome address by Joint Secretary (Housing), Kuldip Narayan, followed by insights from Secretary Srinivas Katikithala, who reflected on the eight-year journey of RERA’s implementation.

Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal Khattar, formally launched the portal, rera.mohua.gov.in in the presence of Minister of State Tokhan Sahu, state RERA heads, government officials, industry bodies, and homebuyer representatives. The portal aims to bring all stakeholders under a unified digital platform, promote transparency, and enable knowledge sharing across states and Union Territories.

Calling the launch a “major step” forward, Minister Khattar said the portal would strengthen accountability and empower homebuyers by offering a centralized database of projects. He also urged states and UTs to implement RERA “in letter and spirit” to ensure timely project delivery and citizen protection.

The Council reviewed key progress made under RERA: 35 states/UTs have operational regulatory authorities, 29 appellate tribunals are functional, over 1.5 lakh projects and 1 lakh real estate agents are registered, and nearly 1.47 lakh consumer complaints have been resolved.

A major focus of the meeting was addressing stalled projects. The Council discussed the Amitabh Kant-led committee’s recommendations, already being implemented in Uttar Pradesh, and called for their adoption nationwide. Members emphasized the need for standardized enforcement procedures and a nationwide project database powered by AI tools to monitor risks and improve oversight.

Minister of State, Mr. Tokhan Sahu highlighted the urgent need to revive legacy stalled projects and accelerate grievance redressal mechanisms. The meeting concluded with a strong push for coordinated action across states to uphold RERA’s core objective, protecting homebuyer interests and ensuring project completion.
