Which statement correctly describes how the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 came into force?

The Central Government may notify the commencement date and may appoint different dates for different provisions. Following this, Section 2 and several other sections came into force on 1 May 2016, and Sections 3 to 19 and others on 1 May 2017.

  1. AAll sections came into force on a single date, 1 May 2016
  2. BAll sections came into force on 1 May 2017 only
  3. CThe Central Government was empowered to appoint different dates for different provisions, and the provisions were notified on 1 May 2016 and 1 May 2017Correct
  4. DEach State Government decided the commencement date for the whole Act in its territory

Explanation

Section 1(3) lets the Central Government appoint the commencement date by notification, and the proviso allows different dates for different provisions. Accordingly, Section 2 and certain other sections began on 1 May 2016, while Sections 3 to 19 and others began on 1 May 2017. A single-date or state-fixed commencement is therefore wrong.
