RERA Current Account
As per the RERA Act, it is mandatory to the promoters to deposit 70% of the client advances or project related funds into a devoted project account, so that those funds can be used for procurement of land and construction of the related project.

Any withdrawals from the specified account should be certified by the project engineer, architecture, and chartered accountants. The said account should also be audited every financial year and the copy of the same should be submitted to the higher authorities. This process will guarantee that the client advanced are not redirected towards other project development and the promoters do not defer/delay the project due to lack of funds.
