The lack of information systems exists in the real estate sector, the buyers have only few options in selecting the property. Unstructured market does not allow the information exchange on the nature of properties in market at one place. The buyers have to do self research based on the informal information sources. Being unregulated there are properties lying unsold on the one hand and large number of buyers are also looking for the suitable purchase. For the policy makers this creates gap in providing access to housing, affordability and transparency in the market. The unregulated agents, often not registered, licenced or trained acts only to help selling properties of large number of sellers. The regulations regarding the monetary transfers which are accepted both in cheque and cash are often untraceable due to poor transaction records. The incidence of 'cash dealing' or 'black market' in the sector is very high which might lead to unaccountable financial dealings resulting in loss to government in terms of taxes as well as revenue. At policy level due to multiple issues the single policy or law becomes difficult to execute. Due to serious lobby by the builders, developers and financers, most of the regulatory policies are poorly implemented or not declared since last decade. It also makes difficult to monitor the land and property market, thus making current land use data difficult to acquire. The decade survey of the land use finds itself to implement any mid term correction in policy.
