The idea behind the event was to facilitate the growth and promotion of a healthy, transparent, efficient and competitive real estate sector. RERA is the authority which is entrusted to enforce Real Estate (Regulation & Development Act 2016).

The author, S. Jagdish Khushdil has a vast 35 years of experience as a legal luminary in diverse capacities. He is a Former District & Sessions Judge, Former Adjudicating Officer, RERA and also Former President, District Consumer Forums.

While addressing the gathering, Khushdil said, “The main reason behind writing this book is to make people more aware about the laws connected with the real estate sector. I believe that a large segment of people are still not aware about these and the era which has been ushered in after formation of RERA."

He added, “As it’s a difficult and dry subject, so very few people know about it. To make the subject interesting, I have simplified details about RERA and associated acts in my book. I have also mentioned Consumer Act, local laws like PAPRA, Town & Country Act in a simplified way, which is easy to comprehend for even the layman.”

During the occasion, Jagjit Singh Majha, President of CREDAI, Punjab congratulated Khushdil for his book and said, “We believe that real estate sector will be promoted through the book. Through this unique literary initiative people will become more aware of laws and RERA which in turn will bring greater transparency in the real estate business. The net result will be that consumer confidence in the system will get a boost. The higher awareness  among key stake holders will bring in accountability.”

Some interesting information nuggets which are lesser known to people in general are part of the book. The author has elaborated in the book that promoters can also file a complaint with RERA against a consumer if the latter indulged in unfair and illegal practice and not just vice versa which is the established belief.

The book is a ready-reckoner for all stake holders  in the real estate industry be they real estate developers, agents, consultants  and end users or consumers. The book is available in paper-back at Shriram Law House ,Sec 17,Chandigarh and can also be ordered on Amazon.
