Maharashtra's Proposed RERA-Like Law Draws Criticism

Imagine there's a rulebook (RERA) for building new homes.

Maharashtra wants a similar rulebook for fixing up old buildings.

At a meeting, some people worried this could cause confusion.

They think having two different sets of rules might be tricky, especially for projects that involve both new and fixed-up parts.

One person pointed out that a similar idea in West Bengal was stopped by the Supreme Court.

The government officials said that the central RERA will still be the main rule, even if the new law is created.

The government is also trying to make it easier to solve problems and help finish projects faster.
