This precipitates the investor’s trust and can strength the Real Estate sector by encouraging investments. The regularity body will protect the rights of the realtors and the allottees. The property disputes and other legal matters also fall under RERA so this sector will be managed by separate body now which will attract more investment. The inflow of additional investment will boast up the market.
