JAMMU, JULY 16: The Jammu and Kashmir Real Estate Regulatory Authority (JKRERA), on Tuesday, launched its official portal, a significant milestone in regulation of the real estate sector in Jammu and Kashmir, an official statement received by Ziraat Times said.

Failure to comply will result in penalties for promoters and builders, including a monetary penalty of up to 10% of the estimated project cost. If any promoter does not comply with the directions of the Authority and continues to violate the provision of the Act, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term. The term may be extended up to three years or with fine which may extend up to a further ten percent of the estimated cost of the real estate project, or with both.

Furthermore, real estate agents are mandated to register with JKRERA. Non-compliance will result in a daily penalty of ₹10,000, cumulatively extending up to 5% of the project cost.
