RERA fee structure for registrations in Jharkhand

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority of Jharkhand has recently launched the website for registrations in the state. The final rules of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act were notified on 18^th May 2017 by the Urban Development and Housing Department of Jharkhand, 18 days after the registrations started in the Country. Even after the notification of the final rules, the Government of Jharkhand could not form the proper RERA Authority within time, which resulted in missing the deadline of 31^st July 2017 without even starting the registrations.

However things are now starting to take shape in the state as the official website for the Authority has been launched this very week, which will enable all the real estate developers and agents to register themselves with RERA conveniently. Also Read: How RERA will satisfy end user
