How RERA actually behaves in automotive dealers & oems
RERA fundamentally changed Indian real estate marketing. Pre-RERA (before 2017), developers commonly over-promised on amenities, timelines, square footage. Post-RERA, every ad requires registration number, carpet-area disclosure (not super-built-up), and accurate timeline commitments. Penalty: 10% of project cost or imprisonment up to 3 years for misleading ads. Per-state RERA authority handles disputes; Maharashtra (MahaRERA) is most active.
