The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has initiated the establishment of an enforcement wing to expedite compliance with its orders. This move empowers district collectors to invoke the Revenue Recovery Act (RRA) and exercise certain civil court powers for enforcement, transitioning from passive regulation to active enforcement. An executive director from the revenue department will lead the new wing, supported by a dedicated team. This initiative aligns with similar efforts in other states and follows guidelines from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
In a significant development aimed at enhancing the regulatory framework of the real estate sector, the Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) has taken steps to establish its own enforcement mechanism to ensure swift compliance with its orders. This initiative comes in response to mounting delays, particularly from non-compliant builders and developers.
Under the new framework, district collectors have been empowered to invoke the Revenue Recovery Act (RRA) and exercise certain civil court powers for enforcement. This marks a decisive shift from passive regulation to active enforcement, as previously, TGRERA relied on district collectors to implement its orders, which often resulted in slow enforcement due to the collectors' involvement in other administrative responsibilities.
To spearhead this enforcement wing, an executive director, likely to be appointed from the revenue department, will lead a dedicated team tasked exclusively with executing TGRERA's orders. This move aligns with initiatives taken by other states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, and adheres to guidelines laid down by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
Previously, when TGRERA or its appellate tribunal passed an order, the concerned parties were given 30 to 60 days to comply. Failure to do so required the aggrieved party to file an 'execution petition,' prompting the district administration to act. Currently, 96 such execution petitions are pending, involving cases related to property handovers, penalty payments, or completion of stalled projects.
This proactive approach is expected to expedite the enforcement process, ensuring timely compliance with regulatory orders and fostering a more transparent and accountable real estate sector in Telangana.
By empowering district collectors and appointing a dedicated team, the authority aims to address delays in enforcement and ensure swift compliance with its orders. This initiative not only aligns with best practices from other states but also underscores Telangana's commitment to fostering a transparent and accountable real estate market.
