What is RERA Registration

RERA Registration refers to the mandatory registration under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, which was introduced by the Government of India to regulate the real estate sector and promote transparency, accountability, and fair practices. Under this Act: Builders/Promoters must register their real estate projects with the respective State RERA authority before advertising, marketing, selling, or offering any units to buyers. Real Estate Agents/Brokers must also obtain RERA registration to legally facilitate property sales. The main objectives of RERA registration are to: Protect homebuyers’ interests. Ensure timely delivery of projects. Reduce fraud and malpractice in the real estate sector. Establish a uniform legal framework across states.

Who Requires RERA Registration

RERA Registration is mandatory for the following categories:

  1. Real Estate Promoters/Builders

    • Any promoter or builder who is developing a real estate project where the land area exceeds 500 sq. meters or the number of apartments exceeds 8 units (including all phases) must register the project with the respective State RERA authority before advertising or selling.

  2. Real Estate Agents/Brokers

    • Any agent, broker, or intermediary involved in facilitating the sale or purchase of property in a RERA-registered project must also obtain RERA registration. This ensures they can legally operate and build credibility with buyers and developers.

  3. Joint Development Projects

    • If a landowner and developer enter into a joint development agreement, the project also requires RERA registration.

  4. Ongoing Projects (Not Completed Before May 2017)

    • Applicable for new projects as well as ongoing projects that were not completed before the enforcement of the RERA Act.

  2. RERA Registration for Real Estate Agents
