C o R W A Welfare Associations (CoRWA)
RWA Status and Directory
Migration to urban areas has become common across the world. In order to use the scare resources of land effectively, the multi-storey buildings are planned in urban areas. Thus, in an RWA, the land and most of the parts of the multi-storey building, such as lift, staircase, terrace, lobby, etc. become the common area to be shared by the residents. To manage such a common area, registration of a legal entity has become necessary and accordingly, residents welfare association is formed in many cities across India. Different states have different laws under which the residents welfare associations are registered.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016
which has been enacted to regulate the real estate sector across India also
provides for registration of the Association of the Allotees to manage the
common areas in the multi-storey buildings. Such Association of allotees is
also commonly known as “Residents Welfare Association“. When many residents
welfare associations of one locality or area are brought together, they are
thereafter registered as the local apex body to manage the common areas in
those locality. Thereafter, the apex bodies at the taluka level, district level
and state levels are also set up to share the information and resources.
Considering the importance of the RWA functioning in
different parts of India, which are also regulated differently under different
laws, our president Dr. Rao V B J Chelikani, has thought it fit to bring out a
“ National Status Report and Directory of RWA Across India”. I am thankful to
the team CoRWA for assigning the responsibility to bring out such a wonderful
publication to me. I, therefore, appeal and seek the co-operation of the RWAs
and their apex bodies across the country to send as much information as
possible to prepare such a compendium.
