Homebuyers flag issues with Bengal RERA panel

Pan-India homebuyers' body, the Forum for People's Collective Efforts (FPCE), has raised concerns over formation and structure of the West Bengal housing department's committee for implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016 and the West Bengal Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Rules, 2021.

The state government had last week constituted a nine-member West Bengal State Working Committee on WBRERA. The committee includes two members from the state government's housing department, three from the West Bengal real estate regulatory authority and four real estate developers operating in the state.
