Retroactive Operation of RERA Upheld

The SC, in the matter of Newtech Promoters and Developers Private Limited v. State of UP and Others[1] analysed the object and reasons of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (‘RERA’) and held that it will apply to all on-going projects and future registered projects, with retroactive effect (i.e., effective from a prior date). However, projects which have been completed or which have received completion certificates will not be under the fold of the RERA and therefore, any vested or accrued rights in relation to such projects will not be affected.
