The Maharashtra government tabled a legislation in the state assembly on Wednesday to bring the much-needed transparency and discipline in the realty sector, and protect the interests of flat buyers. The Maharashtra Housing (Regulation and Development) Bill also proposes to repeal the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, envisaging establishment of a housing regulatory authority that will also be an appellate tribunal so as to promote planned development of flats and other residential buildings, besides their construction, management, sale and transfer.
