The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 mandates developers to have a RERA (Real Estate Regulated Authority) Account for project fund management. A developer must deposit 70% of project receivables from the allottees into the designated project account. This ensures that the funds are used solely for land acquisition and construction costs. Withdrawals from these accounts can only be made based on project completion stages which are certified by a project engineer, architect and chartered accountant. These accounts must be audited annually, with reports submitted to the RERA authority. Non-compliance with RERA Account can result in penalties, compensation to buyers and freezing of the project account.
A RERA Account can be opened by real estate developers or promoters of residential, commercial or plot-sale projects registered (or to be registered) under the RERA Act, 2016. These projects must be registered with the respective state or union territory RERA/RERA authority.
