Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh - The government is set to convene a meeting on Thursday to deliberate on the appointment of the chairman and members of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). The meeting, chaired by the High Court Chief Justice, will be attended by the additional chief secretary of Urban Development and the secretary of Law. The committee may also endorse the appointment of members for the RERA appellate tribunal.
The vacancy for the RERA chairman has persisted since March following the retirement of AP Shrivastava. Currently, only Rashmi Agarwal holds a position in RERA, with her term concluding in October. Numerous IAS officers and government employees have submitted applications for the chairman role.
The High Court explicitly clarified that the RERA chairman's appointment is not restricted to retired IAS officers, prompting the government to issue an advertisement for recruitment to allow a broader pool of candidates, including non-IA officers, to apply. The provision of RERA's chairman position is deemed crucial by the government, as it holds significant influence over construction decisions in the real estate sector.
