Real Estate Activist Raises Concerns Over Odisha Minister’s Remarks on RERA Act

In a notable development, real estate activist Bimalendu Pradhan has called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address recent remarks made by Odisha’s Revenue and Disaster Management Minister, Suresh Pujari, regarding the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA). The Minister’s comments, questioning the Act’s applicability, have sparked discussions within the real estate community and beyond.

At a public event, Minister Pujari reportedly questioned the compulsory nature of RERA across all states, suggesting the possibility of amending the RERA framework and other related state laws governing development authorities. A video of the Minister’s speech, shared by Pradhan on the social media platform X, has intensified the debate.

Pradhan pointed out that RERA, enacted in 2016, explicitly states its applicability to the entire country, barring Jammu and Kashmir at the time of its enactment. He highlighted that Jammu and Kashmir has since implemented RERA, reinforcing its nationwide relevance. Pradhan also referenced the Supreme Court’s 2018 verdict invalidating the West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act (WB-HIRA) as unconstitutional, underscoring the legal precedence in favour of RERA.

The activist’s intervention underscores the importance of maintaining uniformity and accountability in real estate regulations. RERA, designed to protect homebuyers and enhance transparency, has been instrumental in reshaping India’s real estate landscape. The activist’s plea to the Prime Minister seeks to prevent any dilution of the Act that could affect the interests of property buyers and investors.

This controversy not only raises legal questions but also highlights the need for cohesive governance in the real estate sector, a critical driver of India’s urban development and economic growth.
