The
Congress - led government in Maharashtra will soon approach the Central
Government with a fresh plea for recommending its Bill to form a housing
regulator to the President of India for his assent.
The
state legislature had passed the Maharashtra Housing (Regulation and
Development) Bill 2012 past year, which is pending for Presidential assent.
The
Maharashtra government move comes close on the heels of the Union Cabinet's
clearance to the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Bill. The state
government says its Bill should not get scrapped in the wake of the central
Act.
Maharashtra
minister of state for housing, Mr. Sachin Ahir told Business Standard:
“We
are writing to the Centre for an early assent to the Maharashtra Housing
(Regulation & Development) Bill 2012. The government will make all efforts
to see that state Bill remains in place.”
The
Bill envisages repeal of the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, in a bid to
provide relief to flat purchasers against malpractices & difficulties. The
Housing Regulatory Authority & Housing Appellate Tribunal will be formed
and the Bill aims at removing information asymmetry by ensuring full disclosure
and compliance.
Further,
the government official said it would be mandatory for the promoter to register
the agreement for sale.
