MahaRERA has frozen 1,950 project accounts across Maharashtra in a crackdown on non-compliant developers, aiming to enforce accountability and protect homebuyers affected by delays and incomplete projects.

MahaRERA has proposed a breakthrough rule to increase openness and accountability in real estate developments. For compliance and efficient money utilisation, this proposal requires projects to maintain three bank accounts in the same bank.

A new MahaRERA initiative protects homebuyers in an unprecedented step. It requires housing project developers to have three accounts in one scheduled bank to promote discipline, efficiency, transparency, accountability, and equality in financial activities.

The state-owned Indian Bank sold ₹610 crore in bad loans to simplify its financial portfolio. The bank plans to straighten up its accounts by the end of the year. Real estate and international trade debts are sold.

The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Act (UP-RERA) has improved transparency and strengthened real estate project bank account banking. A recent State Level Bank Committee (SLBC) statement stressed the need of managing these accounts according to RBI and RERA Act guidelines.
