Govt. and IBBI Plan Reforms to Protect Homebuyers
The government and a financial regulator are working on new rules to help people who buy homes.
This is because if a builder goes bankrupt, people can lose their homes even if they're still paying for them.
The Supreme Court said having a place to live is a basic right.
The changes could include letting buyers register their homes sooner, making sure each project is handled separately during bankruptcy, and making sure banks and authorities work together better.
They also want to ensure projects get finished and to stop unfair practices in the real estate market.
Government and IBBI are considering reforms to protect homebuyers.
The Supreme Court declared right to shelter a fundamental right.
Proposals include early property registration after 20% payment.
Project-specific insolvency resolution is being considered.
Reforms aim to address sector credibility and stalled projects.
