Overview

What is RERA Registration?

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) registration is a mandatory compliance requirement under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Every real estate project with a plot size of at least 500 square meters or 8 or more apartments must be registered with the respective state RERA authority before advertising or selling.

The Act aims to protect homebuyers and promote transparency in the real estate sector. It ensures that projects are delivered on time with promised specifications and that developers cannot make false promises or change plans arbitrarily.

Non-registration can result in hefty penalties of up to 10% of the project cost, in addition to imprisonment for promoters. Registration is project-specific and must be renewed for each new phase or project.
