When is RERA registration mandatory for a project?

It is mandatory if the project land area exceeds 500 square meters or if the number of apartments/units to be developed exceeds 8 units. It is required BEFORE you start any marketing or booking.

What is the 70% rule in RERA?

70% of the money collected from buyers must be deposited in a separate bank account (Escrow). This money can only be withdrawn for land cost and construction cost in proportion to the project's completion.

Can I advertise my project before getting the RERA number?

Absolutely not. Any form of advertising, marketing, or booking before obtaining the RERA registration number is a violation of the Act and can attract heavy penalties.

What is Carpet Area under RERA?

RERA mandates a uniform definition of 'Carpet Area'—the net usable floor area of an apartment, excluding the area covered by external walls, service shafts, and balconies. Selling based on 'Super Built-up Area' is no longer allowed.

Can a RERA registration be extended?

Yes, if the project is delayed due to force majeure (natural calamities, war, etc.) or other reasonable causes, the developer can apply for a project extension before the expiry date.

Does RERA apply to plots?

Yes, RERA applies to the development of plots as well. Any 'Plotted Development' where the area exceeds 500 sq. meters or 8 plots must be registered.

What happens if I delay the project completion?

Under RERA, developers must pay interest to the buyers for every month of delay at the same rate the developer charges the buyer for payment defaults. Buyers also have the right to withdraw and seek a full refund with interest.

How often do I need to update the RERA portal?

Developers must file quarterly updates (every 3 months) on the progress of construction, number of units booked, and approvals received.

Mandatory registration for residential and commercial real estate projects. Ensure transparency and legal compliance for your development.

Obtain your RERA registration number to legally market and sell your real estate project. We handle the complex documentation while you build.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) mandates that every real estate project (residential or commercial) must be registered with the State RERA Authority before any marketing, advertising, or selling activity begins. This law is designed to protect home buyers and bring transparency to the often-opaque real estate sector.

For a developer, RERA registration is the 'License to Sell'. It requires the disclosure of all project details, including land status, promoter track record, layout plans, schedule of completion, and the list of brokers involved. A critical feature of RERA is the mandate to deposit 70% of the funds collected from buyers into a dedicated escrow account, ensuring they are not diverted to other projects.

QuickTaxperts provides a comprehensive RERA desk for developers, ensuring your project application is robust, your legal documents (like the Agreement for Sale) are state-compliant, and your quarterly updates are filed without delay.
