Our legislative system is always seen as an instrument to provide equality before law and equal protection of law to every citizen who has led the profession of law to be seen as a noble profession and not a business. Therefore ethics, transparency and accountability remain at the core of this legal profession and should be strengthen to achieve our constitutional goal. ”
Dealing with the Present Times
With changing times, a set of new laws is bringing meaningful modifications and transforming the procedures of the legal system. Real estate is one the most dynamic sectors to experience such salient alternations. It experienced the biggest changes in decades that were never sought after especially on the policy front. The top game-changing policies like GST and RERA effectively tackled hurdles and were finally implemented. Demonetization with Benami transaction law also had its impact on the sector.
The government of India enacted RERA with the main motive to bring transparency and accountability in the real estate sector. The act is incorporated to acquire more domestic and foreign investors on board, as it is imperative to regularize the sector and eradicate as many risks as possible and accomplish the same.
