Regulatory Framework for REITs/InvITs Proposed
The Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed to allow Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts ( InvITs) to issue depository receipts to provide foreign investors an opportunity to participate in the units of Indian emerging investment instruments . This will benefit foreign investors as depository receipts avoids the need to trade directly with the Indian Stock Exchange.
REITs and InvITs are set up as business trusts and hold and operate revenue-generating real estate or infrastructure assets. They raise funds by issuing units to the public at large. REITs and InvITs do not have multiple schemes or classes of units. The units are denominated in Indian rupees and are required to be listed on a recognised stock exchange in India. Permitting issuance of Depository Receipts against units of REITs and InvITs which are listed on a foreign stock exchange in India, gives foreign investors an opportunity to participate in the units of Indian REITs and InvITs.

Orders on Property Portals’ Registrations as Agents
Property portals have won the legal battle against the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority which had directed for the listing of real estate portals as property agents. The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal has set aside the order passed by the Maha RERA and directed the authority to hear the matter afresh. Prior to Maha RERA order, a consumer body had filed a complaint with the Authority , pleading that property portals should be registered as real estate agents.
Real estate portals had challenged the October 2019 order of Maharashtra RERA on the ground that these portals were simply providing information and guiding property buyers to check realty projects from the websites of authorities like RERA in order to make an informed decision and were not at all involved in facilitating the sale of property.
