Developers Expelled and Resign from CREDAI Over Code of Conduct Dispute
Several real estate developers have been expelled from the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) while others have resigned, following a disagreement over the organization's code of conduct.
The conflict arose from the developers' refusal to adhere to CREDAI's self-regulation code, which emphasizes transparency clauses. Builders opposed signing the code, leading to a standoff with the association.
CREDAI Takes Action
Despite issuing multiple notices urging compliance, CREDAI ultimately expelled developers who refused to sign the code of conduct. Prominent developers, such as DLF, Hirco, and Hiranandani Realtors, have faced expulsion from the Chennai unit. Simultaneously, four builders resigned from the Bangalore unit over the same issue.
NCR Developers Face Similar Action
CREDAI has taken further steps to address non-compliance in the National Capital Region (NCR) and has indicated that expelled developers can only rejoin if they agree to abide by the established code of conduct. The organization thus reinforces its dedication to upholding transparency within the industry.
Emphasis on Transparency a Key Factor
The core issue in these expulsions and resignations appears to be CREDAI's focus on transparency. The code of conduct, which builders refused to sign, primarily outlines transparency measures that the association requires its members to implement. This highlights CREDAI’s commitment to better regulatory practices within the real estate development sector.
