Karnataka RERA Project List: How to Check a Project Before You Pay

Last updated: Oct 2026

The Karnataka RERA project list is the official register of projects registered under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). A project on the list is registered, not endorsed.

• Portal: rera.karnataka.gov.in, under registered projects
• Search by: project name, promoter, district, taluk or registration number
• Number pattern: PRM/KA/RERA, then tier, ward, date and serial
• Must register: land above 500 square metres or more than 8 apartments
• Also check: A-Khata or e-Khata, the sanctioned plan and the occupancy certificate

Search the list before you pay a token amount. Then match the registration number, completion date and promoter in the brochure to the portal, and ask for the Khata before you apply for a loan.

The official list shows each registered project's name, promoter, registration number, district and status. The project page adds layout plans, the declared completion date, quarterly progress reports and any complaints.

Third-party guides describe these items, so check each on the portal.

Five steps find a project.

1. Open rera.karnataka.gov.in, the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (K-RERA) portal.
2. Go to the services menu and choose registered projects.
3. Enter at least one of: project name, application number, district, taluk, promoter name or registration number.
4. Open the project from the results.
5. Read the registration details, the dates and the quarterly updates, and save a dated copy.

Copy the registration number from the sale agreement, not from an advertisement. A one-character error opens a different project.

The number has a fixed pattern, and the dates tell you whether the promise is backed by the registration.

The pattern is PRM/KA/RERA, followed by a tier code, a ward code, the registration date as ddmmyy and a serial number, for example PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/180424/002345, according to Realatic. Compare 3 dates.

If the registration ends before the promised possession, ask the promoter in writing how the project will stay registered.

No. RERA registers the project and makes the promoter disclose details. It does not certify construction quality or the legal status of each flat.

Other checks sit outside the list:

• The sanctioned building plan from the local authority, which is the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) in the city. The GBA succeeded the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) under the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024.
• The commencement certificate before work starts, and the occupancy certificate at completion.
• The Khata. An A-Khata marks a property that complies with municipal rules. A B-Khata is a separate register for irregular properties. An e-Khata is the digital record, and it can show either register.

Lenders look at the Khata and the approvals, so ask for them before you pay.

A project must register if its land is above 500 square metres or it has more than 8 apartments. This comes from Section 3 of the RERA Act, 2016.

A small project below both limits need not register, so its absence from the list is not a defect by itself. Ask the promoter for the exemption basis in writing, and rely on the sanctioned plan and the occupancy certificate instead. A project that is on the list gives you the benefit of quarterly disclosures and a complaints route.

Consider Anand, a 37-year-old product manager in Bengaluru with a household income of Rs. 1.6 lakh a month and a CIBIL Score of 758, who is shown a flat in a Whitefield project. The dates below are hypothetical.

Anand asks the promoter how the registration will be extended and asks for the latest update. He holds the token amount until the answers arrive. Read the lender's side in the guide to legal and technical verification.

Bajaj Finance runs a legal and technical check on the property, and a project's registration and approvals are part of that check. Confirm the Khata with the promoter before you apply.

Approval timelines can extend where the Khata or an approval is pending, and minimum income thresholds can differ by city. Check your home loan eligibility and read home loan fees and charges.
