Karnataka’s real estate regulator has issued a new procedure to speed up recovery from builders who fail to comply with its orders. The Hindu reports that RERA-K’s July 28 circular activates Section 40(2) of the 2016 RERA Act, allowing orders to be enforced like civil court decrees. Of 2,556 Revenue Recovery Certificates worth Rs 1,214.32 crore, 329 worth Rs 123.84 crore have been recovered. A total of 2,227 certificates, involving Rs 1,090.48 crore, remain pending. Under the procedure, builders get several opportunities to comply or respond before they must disclose assets. Property and bank accounts may then be attached and auctioned. The State has appointed Special Deputy Commissioner Jayamadhava P. to oversee recoveries in Bengaluru, and is developing software and a portal. Officials expect implementation within 3.5 months, with homebuyers able to track progress.
