The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act requires most new residential and commercial projects to be registered with the state’s RERA authority before they are advertised or sold. For buyers of under-construction property, this registration is a powerful free check.
What to look up
- The project’s RERA registration number – it should be printed on every advertisement and on the listing.
- The registered completion date, and whether it has been extended.
- The sanctioned plan, the number of towers and units, and the promoter’s details.
- Quarterly progress updates and any complaints filed against the project.
What RERA gives you
Promoters must keep a share of buyer payments in a separate account for construction, sell by carpet area, and compensate buyers for delays as set out in the Act. Disputes can be taken to the RERA authority.
What it does not do
RERA registration is not a guarantee of quality or of on-time delivery. Visit the site, check the developer’s record on past projects and read the builder–buyer agreement carefully.
