RERA Acquiescence for Indian Real Estate with SAP and Highbar Technocrat
Regarded as a bullish shot of espresso to the Indian real estate sector, with the deliverables being increased transparency, increased accountability, and improved standardisation, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) caused a paradigm shift from paper documentation-based compliance and accountability.
RERA is a complicated compliance standard to fulfil the requirements of, without the help of an effective technology sector; SAP is a leading enterprise solution and offers a scalable, compliant, and effective way to meet RERA compliance.
Working with a proven SAP implementation partner such as Highbar Technocrat provides real estate developers with peace of mind – real estate developers can now devote more time and focus on RERA-related issues as they arise, if their RERA compliance is in good hands.
The Challenge of Complying with RERA
RERA places requirements on developers to keep separate project accounts, provide regular updates on project completion, be transparent financially, and disclose information regarding bookings, approvals, etc
Non-compliance can mean significant fines, project delays, and the loss of confidence where it matters most – the stakeholders..
Relying on manual systems or multiple software systems, developers struggle to confirm compliance due to the multiple, fluid requirements of RERA standards. This scenario highlights the need for a unified ERP solution.
