Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary on Saturday reviewed the functioning of the Bihar Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and directed officials to make the regulatory system more transparent, accountable, simple and technology-driven. Chairing a meeting at the Sankalp conference hall of Lok Sewak Bhavan in Patna, the Chief Minister stressed that protecting the interests of homebuyers should remain the primary objective of RERA.

During the review meeting, Samrat Chaudhary said the purpose of RERA should not be restricted only to promoting the Ease of Doing Business. He emphasised that the government has a responsibility to safeguard people who invest their lifetime savings in purchasing homes and directed officials to ensure that complaints filed by homebuyers are resolved fairly, transparently and within a fixed timeframe.

The Chief Minister said timely grievance redressal would play an important role in building public confidence in the state’s real estate regulatory framework. At the same time, he called for simplifying procedures for promoters and developers to create a balanced system where consumer protection and ease of business could progress together.

RERA Chairman Vivek Kumar Singh briefed the Chief Minister about the authority’s current operations and various systems in place. Following the presentation, Chaudhary instructed officials to further strengthen digital platforms within RERA to reduce delays, improve efficiency and make administrative processes more effective.

The Chief Minister also suggested exploring integration of RERA with the state government’s treasury system and other digital platforms. He said such technological improvements would help in better monitoring of pending cases, payments and other regulatory processes while increasing transparency in the functioning of the authority.

Samrat Chaudhary reiterated that homebuyers’ protection must remain at the centre of real estate reforms in Bihar. He said faster dispute resolution, greater accountability and increased use of technology would not only safeguard citizens but also create a more investor-friendly environment and encourage growth in the state’s real estate sector.
