Real Estate Laws in India are governed by both State-specific laws and federal laws. This is because, according to the Constitution of India, ‘Land’ falls under the State List while ‘Transfer of property and registration of deeds and documents’ falls under the Concurrent List. Due to this, the process of buying and registering a property can seem complicated. Real estate law in India is primarily governed by the RERA Act and is considered to be a niche field.
