Yes rera is applicable to you. It's applicable after 1st may 2017.
1. We have approved plan in a land which we are planning to sell. In approved plan there are 29 Bungalows of around 200 Sq. Meters each. The land is in SUDA (Surat Urban Development Area) and not in Corporation yet. 2. We have constructed Plinth and have also obtained Plinth Check certificate from SUDA (Surat Urban Development Area) for these 29 Bungalows in July 2017. 3. We are planning to sell this land to 6 owners who will be purchasing 5-6 plots in their individual heads. 4. Would RERA be applicable to SELLER? 5. Would RERA be applicable to BUYER who is going to construct bungalow and sell to third party. 6. There are total 6 land owners and none of them are having 5-6 plots in a row. eg. Owner 1 will have plot number 1,3,5,7,9,11 & 13.
RERA will be applicable to all real estate project having plot area more than 500 sqmt. This limit is the threshold and project below this threshold will not come under purview of RERA.
Development of land into plot for the purpose of selling all or some of the plots are real estate project as defined in RERA. Hence RERA will be applicable to both buyers and sellers.
We have decided to sell the land but there is question of land deduction if entire Sale Deed is executed in a single name. So in order to save the land, we are thinking of selling it as individual plots. Our approved plan consists of Bungalow but we are willing to sell them only land with work completed up to plinth area. RERA registrations accept only what is stated on approved plan. What could be the best possible solution in this case?
If You sell the land as whole RERA will not be applicable.
Divide the land among the present owners and sell each one's portion of land to other as a whole. Point is you can sell your portion of land in parts without any developments but when you develop the land into plots for selling it will be treated as real estate project.
