What is RERA Registration? How to Verify

RERA registration refers to the mandatory registration of a real estate project with the state-level Real Estate Regulatory Authority under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. No developer can legally advertise, market, or sell any unit in a residential or commercial project without first obtaining RERA registration. This provision is the cornerstone of buyer protection in Indian real estate.

Why RERA Registration Matters

Before RERA, developers could collect money from buyers without any regulatory oversight, leading to widespread fund diversion and project abandonment. RERA registration requires developers to disclose project plans, approval status, financial details, and committed timelines on a public portal. This transparency allows buyers to make informed decisions and holds builders accountable for their commitments.

A RERA-registered project must maintain a separate escrow account where 70 percent of buyer payments are deposited and can only be used for that specific project's construction. This single provision dramatically reduces the risk of fund diversion.

How to Verify RERA Registration

1. Visit the state RERA portal (for UP projects: up-rera.in)
2. Search using the project name, developer name, or RERA registration number
3. Review the project details including approved plans, timelines, and compliance status
4. Check for any orders, penalties, or complaints against the project
