G​OACAN has call​ed​ for ​extension of time to submit objections and suggestions to the final
draft ​of ​the Goa Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2016, by 10 working days.
GOACAN Coordinator Roland Martins expressed confidence that the extension ​of time​ will cater in a big way ​to​ get a good response from the stakeholders like housing societies, consumer forums, trade associations, advocates' associations​, tourism agencies involved in rent back apartments, faculty of law and commerce colleges among others​ ​who in turn ​will ​contribute to the successful implementation of the Act in Goa.
I​t may be noted that ​the final draft of the rules were first put on the website of the Department of Urban Development (Municipal Administration) on August 22, 2017, and were published in Goa Government Gazette on August 24, 2017 ​(Series I No. 21 ​pages 1245 to 1278) with the notice that objections and suggestions ​should ​be submitted within 10 days of the publication date.
​​In ​a​ letter​ to J Ashok Kumar, IAS​​ ​Director ​​- Directorate of Municipal Administration​​ ​​& Ex-Officio Additional Secretary (Urban Development)​ ​to Government of Goa​, ​GOACAN ​has ​welcomed ​the placing in public domain ​of ​the final draft of the RERA Rules for Goa as required under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 ( Central Act 16 of 2016)​ as ​this legislation will have a significant positive impact on the protection of the rights of the consumers in Goa in relation to real estate projects and related matters.
In t​he letter​, ​​GOACAN has pointed out that ​in fact the main purpose of providing time to submit objections and suggestions to the final draft rules is to encourage healthy participation from all stakeholders in Goa​.
H​owever, ​after the draft rules were published in the Goa Gazette August 24, 2017, the intervening holidays for Chaturthi have reduced the time period for filing the objections and suggestions.
