What is RERA Registration?
RERA registration is the mandatory registration of real estate projects and property agents under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The Act aims to bring transparency, safeguard homebuyers, and improve professionalism in the real estate sector.
Developers must register new or ongoing projects (residential, commercial, plotted developments) if they exceed certain area or unit thresholds. Real estate agents dealing in such projects also need to obtain RERA certification to operate legally.
The registration ensures:
-
Full disclosure of project timeline, approvals, layout
-
Funds collected from buyers are used only for the project
-
Buyers have access to complaint redressal mechanisms
-
Agents act transparently with buyers and sellers
