COMMENTS

Section 3 of RERA states the requirement of registration of real estate project with RERA Authority and restriction on sale, booking, advertisement marketing etc. without registration of real estate project.

This Section restrict the promoter from the following activities, in relation to plot, apartment building in a real estate project which is developed in planning area, without registering the real estate project:

• Advertisement
• Marketing
• Booking
• Sale
• Offer to Sale
• Invitation to purchase

Proviso to this section states that, as on date of commencement of the RERA i.e. 1st May, 2017, if any project which is ongoing and completion certificate for the project was not received in that case promoter has to make an application within 3 Months from 1st May, 2017.

Second proviso to this section say that RERA Authority with the approval of local authority may ask the promoter to get register the project even the project is beyond the planning are and from the stage of registration provision of RERA will apply to such project.

For making the application for registration of real estate project one and most important condition is that the project should be in planning area and as per public notice number GujRERA/77 dated 26.09.2017 issued by GujRERA it was clarified that the area which is under the jurisdiction of the Authority which are under the following Act will be part of the planning area as per RERA.

(a) Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976

(b) Special Investment Region

(c) Estate under GIDC Act

Further in the notice it was ordered that a promoter can make an application to the concerned authority like town planning office etc., where project is developed, to seek clarification in respect of the planning area and if the authority says that the project is in planning area then promoter can make an application for registration before GujRERA.

One another important part of this section is terminology “Ongoing Project” which is not defined by the RERA and GujRERA, however some of the RERA Authority of other states like UP RERA and Haryana RERA has defined this terminology. For making the registration for the ongoing project other condition in respect of completion certificate is also required to be checked and if both the conditions i.e. “Project is ongoing and completion certificate is not received” then only application for registration is to be made.

In this section there is no clarity in respect of applicability of restriction of booking, marketing advertisement in the ongoing project as first proviso to section give relaxation of three months’ time for application of registration while the section says that no promoter shall market, advertise, book unless the project is registered.

Whether the booking taken by the ongoing project after enforcement of RERA and before registration of project will non compliance of section 3 is still debatable point however, Authors view is that there is no restriction for the ongoing project while some interpretation is that main section is applicable for all the project whether new project or ongoing project as it is stated the word “No Promoter shall…..”.

Exemption from registration:

Subject to some condition, Section 3(2) of RERA provide the exemption to real estate project from registration requirement and the conditions are as follows:

(a)   If Land area is <= 500 Sq Meters or

(b)   Number of the apartment in the project are <=8 (inclusive of all phases)

Eg: If the project is divided in 2 phases and 1 phase have 7 apartment and other have 4 apartments than both the phase has to get registered as total number of apartments has crossed the limit.

(c)   If the completion certificate of the project is received by the promoter.

(d)   Project is for Repair/renovation/redevelopment and which does not include marketing, advertisement, new allotment of apartment.

For the purpose of this Act every phase of the project will be considered as separate and every such phase will require registration.

The exemption provided in sub-section 3(2) is only in respect of the registration of real estate project but it does not exempt the real estate project from the legal action for non-compliance of provisions, rules and regulations of RERA as the project falls under the definition of Real estate project.

This section talks about the registration of real estate project not the registration of promoter so if one promoter (Proprietor, Firm, LLP, Company) have more than one project than every project is required to register separately.

In this section exemption is given to the project for which completion certificate is received by the promoter, however question arises whether the phase of project which has received the occupancy certificate or part occupancy certificate within the period of 3 months i.e. 1^st may, 2017 to 31^st July, 2017 is also exempt from the requirement of registration. This issue was settled by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the matter of Macrotech Developers Limited v. State of Maharashtra (WP 1118/2021) wherein, it was held that the phase of the project which has received the part occupancy certificate is not required to register under RERA.

Now another question arises that mere receipt of the Completion Certificate will be enough to get the exemption from registration of the project as per Section 3(2) of RERA or it is the duty of the promoter to complete the project accordance with the object and provision of RERA. It is held by the Hon’ble Madras High Court in the matter of M/s. SARE Shelters Project Pvt. Ltd vs SARE SQUIRES (CMSA 27-2020) that the Completion Certificate issued in an improper manner cannot be construed as valid ‘completion certificate’ within the meaning of the RERA. Therefore, the completion must be with reference to the provisions of the RERA  and not based on the certificate of completion issued by Competent Authority.
