Adnan Siddiqui Highlights Structural Gaps in RERA Enforcement in Outlook Money Feature

In a recent feature titled “RERA Ridden With Gaps A Decade After Rollout” published by Outlook Money, Adnan Siddiqui shared key insights on the evolving regulatory landscape under India’s real estate regime.

Commenting on enforcement challenges, Adnan noted that in several states there is no automatic execution mechanism equivalent to a civil court decree or a uniform revenue recovery process. As a result, homebuyers are often required to initiate separate execution proceedings to enforce favourable orders, a process that significantly slows enforcement and weakens deterrence.

He further observed that while RERA is operational across most States and Union Territories, its functionality remains uneven. Vacancies in regulatory authorities and appellate tribunals, coupled with delays in enforcement, continue to affect its effectiveness. According to him, states such as Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu are relatively more active in registrations and order issuance. However, fully staffed and consistently effective institutions are present in only about two-thirds of jurisdictions at any given time.
