When a realtor promotes a township with multiple high-rise residential towers, the entire township must be registered as a single project under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (TNREAT) has said.
TNREAT chairperson Justice M. Duraiswamy (retired Acting Chief Justice of Madras High Court) and judicial member R. Padmanabhan wrote that builders could not circumvent the provisions of RERA, 2016 by “cleverly” registering individual towers under the Act.
The observations were made while dismissing an appeal preferred by Hiranandani Realtors Private Limited against an order passed by the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority in favour of Hiranandani Amalfi Owners Association on December 21, 2022.
