July 3, 2024:
Gujarat RERA freezes bank accounts of 1,000 developers
The Gujarat RERA has ordered freezing of bank accounts of over 1,000 developers because of non-compliance issues. According to an Ahmedabad Mirror report, these developers have not updated the quarter-end compliance (QEC), a requirement that is mandatory under RERA Act. Under this, the developers have to update RERA on if the project construction is in line with timelines they submited at the time of Gujarat RERA registration.
Developers whose bank accounts are frozen can’t access it until they get the a go ahead from Gujarat RERA. This is possible only when the QEC is updated and a penalty is paid. Until the bank accounts are frozen, developers cannot sell any unsold unit in the project. Even if any booking is done, the booking amount will be collected in the form of a cheque in an account that will be maintained by RERA.
