The article emphasizes the main research objectives which are to determine laws pertaining to REITs and whether investing in real state is a boon or bane for the society and for the investors. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the regulatory authority overseeing the country's securities market, has actively pursued the development of innovative financing models in recent years. However, its initial attempt to introduce REITs in 2007 did not reach completion. Likewise, SEBI's second effort in 2008 to establish a REIT regime in the form of REMFs also encountered challenges due to a lack of investor interest. This paper examines the proposed REIT regulations, identifies their limitations, and suggests strategies to attract more investors to this innovative financial instrument. The aim is to foster rapid and sustained growth in India's housing and real estate sector, thereby contributing to the overall economic development of the nation. Further, the topic covers the other research question regarding the growth of housing and real estate industries in India.

After refereeing to various sources and tackling the problem in the literature review, a conclusion is derived from the overall study and on the basis of precedents and the research suggestions are made which can be considered as an essential element in the future research on REITs.
