Why RERA Check Is Your First Step

Since 2017, every residential project with more than 8 units or 500 sqm must be registered under RERA. Buying an unregistered project means zero legal protection under the Act.

How to Check RERA Registration (Any State)

Step 1: Identify the State RERA Portal

State	Portal	URL
Maharashtra	MahaRERA	maharera.maharashtra.gov.in
Karnataka	KRERA	rera.karnataka.gov.in
Tamil Nadu	TNRERA	rera.tn.gov.in
Telangana	TSRERA	rera.telangana.gov.in
Haryana	HRERA	haryanarera.gov.in
UP	UP RERA	up-rera.in
Gujarat	Gujarat RERA	gujrera.gujarat.gov.in
West Bengal	WBHIRA	wbhira.gov.in
Delhi	Delhi RERA	rera.delhi.gov.in
Goa	Goa RERA	rera.goa.gov.in

Use our RERA Verification Tool for quick access to all state portals.

Step 2: Search the Project

Search by:

Project name
Builder/promoter name
RERA registration number (printed on all marketing material — mandatory)

Step 3: Verify These Details

What to Check	Why It Matters
Registration status	Active, expired, or revoked
Registered carpet area	Must match what builder is selling you
Registered possession date	The legally binding timeline
Promoter details	Builder name and SPV entity
Total units and sold units	Sales progress
Quarterly progress update	Is construction progressing?
Complaints filed	Buyer grievances
Bank account details	Escrow account for project funds

Step 4: Check Builder's Track Record

Search the builder's name on RERA portal to see ALL their registered projects. Check:

How many projects registered
How many delivered on time
How many have active complaints
Any revoked registrations

What RERA Registration Guarantees

Protected	Not Protected
Carpet area as registered	Quality of construction
Possession date (legally binding)	Price appreciation
Builder must use 70% funds for that project	Location-specific risks
Right to file complaint with RERA	Builder's financial health
Penalty for delays	Market conditions

Red Flags to Watch For

No RERA registration — never buy from an unregistered project
Expired registration — project may be stalled
Registered carpet area differs from marketed area — builder inflating numbers
No quarterly updates filed — possible project stall
Multiple complaints with similar issues — systemic problems
RERA number not displayed on marketing — violation of RERA norms
Different SPV name than expected — verify the exact legal entity

RERA Complaint Process

If a builder violates RERA terms:

File complaint on the state RERA portal
Pay nominal fee (₹1,000-5,000)
RERA authority investigates and adjudicates
Orders are enforceable — can include compensation, interest, and refund

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RERA registration enough due diligence?

No. RERA registration is necessary but not sufficient. You still need title verification, encumbrance check, and builder financial health analysis. RERA protects your carpet area and timeline rights but doesn't guarantee title or quality.

What if a project is not registered under RERA?

Do not buy. If a project requires RERA registration and doesn't have it, the builder is violating the law. You have no RERA protection for complaints, delays, or refunds.
