1. Standardized Carpet Area

Before the RERA act, the carpet area was not described on which the builders calculate the price of the property. They had their own method of calculating the carpet area. Because there was no standard method of calculation of the Carpet Area. However, this clearly defines the (Haryana RERA) RERA Act that the same formula will apply to all the developers and builders for the calculation of the carpet Area.

Definition of the Carpet Area

‘Carpet Area’ is defined as the net usable floor area of the apartment, excluding the area covered by external walls, the area under the service shaft, and the area under the Balcony and open terrace area but includes the area covered by the internal portion walls of the apartment.
The Carpet area has a direct impact on the property prices. As most of the builders charge according to the carpet area.
Builders/Developers Compute the prices of the properties as follows:-
Cost of Property = Carpet Area x Price per Sq Ft

2. Rate of Interest on Default

According to Real Estate Regulation Act, In the case of default payment by the buyer or default in completion of the project by the builder/developer. Both buyer and builder. Both buyer and developer had to pay the same rate of Intrest.
Before RERA what used to happen if the buyer makes delayed while submitting the payment the rate of interest paid by the buyer to the builder is high and the case of the builder is high and in the case of the builder if he delay in the possession of the property to the buyer is less But the RERA act has now clearly specified that the interest paid by both parties are same.

3. Reduces the Risk of Builder Insolvency/Bankruptcy

Developer/Builder simultaneously constructed several projects. Earlier Builders allowed to use the assets raised from project A to support the development of project B.
In any case, this was not imaginable After the RERA introduce the developer/builder is responsible to store 70% of the total assets raised for the venture. He can pull out the assets from the record based on the finish of the Venture. Which will be certified by an architect, civil engineer and chartered accountant.
As the assets can not be used in different tasks and utilized for different purposes. This will guarantee that the assets used only for the reason. Just for which they are raised and not for different purposes.
Prior, there are for sure many cases where builders/developers raised the assets from the home buyers for developing their homes and used the assets for different purposes. Then they later become bankrupt and couldn’t finish the projects.
As the assets must be utilized for the reason they are raised-this will guarantee that the assets are utilised for the reason for which it is raised accordingly guarantee a convenient finish of the property.

4. Rights of the buyer Delay in Possession

To go on with the project till the completion, wherein he will be qualified for compensation alongside interest payable from the due date of completion of the project till the undertaking is really finished.

For example, say the project was expecting completion on 31-3-2017 yet it could not finished on that day. So on 1-4-2017, you have the choice to pull out of the project. On the off chance that you choose to pull out from the project, for the period from 1-4-2017 to work the instalment made, you will qualify for interest.

5. Right of the Buyer in case of False Promises
