A leading pan-India homebuyers' association has urged the Union Housing Ministry to address critical gaps in RERA enforcement, proposing mandatory escrow accounts for amenities, builder verification mechanisms, uniform exit policies, and standardized operating procedures across state regulators.

Nearly a decade after RERA's introduction, Indian homebuyers continue battling project delays, poor construction quality, and broken developer promises, with regulatory enforcement remaining weak and inconsistent across states.

Maharashtra's real estate regulator has suspended 4,812 housing projects and frozen associated bank accounts since July 2025, marking the largest enforcement action against non-compliant developers in the state's history.

MahaRERA has issued recovery warrants worth ₹90 crore against Honest Shelters Pvt Ltd for the troubled Palais Royale project in Worli, following IIFL Finance Ltd's complaints about non-compliance with possession handover orders.

The Odisha government has announced a comprehensive transformation of its Real Estate Regulatory Authority (ORERA) through strategic reforms aimed at strengthening homebuyer protection and improving regulatory oversight.
