What is RERA and why does it matter?
RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) was established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. It aims to protect homebuyers and bring transparency to the real estate sector by regulating transactions between buyers and developers. RERA mandates that all residential and commercial projects where the plot area exceeds 500 sq. mt or involves more than 8 apartments must be registered with the respective state RERA authority before advertising, marketing, or selling.
Registration ensures that developers publicly disclose all project details — plans, timelines, approvals, and financial statements. Any legal disputes can be resolved through the RERA tribunal, and developers who fail to deliver on time face mandatory compensation to buyers.
What does a RERA project search reveal?
Performing a RERA project search gives you access to:
| Information | What it confirms |
|---|---|
| RERA registration number | Project is legally registered; registration is valid and active |
| Developer's information | Builder's credentials, past projects, and compliance record |
| Construction status and timelines | Promised completion date and current construction progress |
| Approved plans and layout | Confirms what was approved vs what is being built |
| Encumbrance and legal status | Confirms no pending disputes or liabilities on the project |
| Financial statements | Shows that funds are being used for the stated project |
How to conduct a RERA project search
Step 1: Identify your state's RERA portal
RERA operates at the state level. Visit the specific RERA portal for the state where the project is located. Each state has its own portal — for example, MahaRERA for Maharashtra, RERA UP for Uttar Pradesh, RERA Karnataka for Karnataka.
Step 2: Navigate to the 'Registered Projects' section
Locate the section dedicated to searching for registered projects — usually labelled 'Registered Projects', 'Project Search', or 'Project Enquiry'.
Step 3: Enter project details
Search using any of the following:
- Project name
- Developer or promoter name
- Project type (residential or commercial)
- RERA registration number
- Location (city or area)
Step 4: Review the project information
The search results display:
- RERA registration status and validity
- Completion timelines
- Approved plans and specifications
- Status of various approvals
- Any past complaints or orders against the developer
Verify that the registration is active — not expired or suspended.
Step 5: Confirm the registration number before booking
Before paying any booking amount, confirm the RERA registration number appears on all advertisement materials and brochures. An unregistered project should not receive any booking.
What are the benefits of conducting a RERA search before purchase?
| Benefit | How it protects you |
|---|---|
| Informed decision-making | Access crucial project information to make an evidence-based purchase decision |
| Fraud prevention | RERA registration confirms legal compliance, minimising fraud risk |
| Timely delivery assurance | RERA mandates completion timelines — delays entitle buyers to compensation |
| Transparent costs | RERA guidelines require disclosure of cost breakdowns — no hidden charges |
| Legal recourse | Any dispute can be resolved through the RERA tribunal |

Frequently Asked Questions
About RERA compliance
RERA and home loans
What is the minimum plot size that requires RERA registration?
Under the RERA Act, any residential project with a plot area above 500 sq. mt or involving more than 8 apartments must be registered. Projects below these thresholds are generally exempt. However, a RERA-registered project offers significantly more buyer protection — always prefer registered projects when buying a home.
What should you check on the RERA portal before booking a flat?
Verify the RERA registration number and its validity date, check the approved layout plan against what is being marketed, review the promised completion date and whether it has been revised, check for any past consumer complaints or orders against the developer, and confirm the project's escrow account compliance (70% of collected funds must be in a dedicated account).
Can you file a complaint under RERA if the developer delays possession?
Yes. If the developer fails to deliver possession by the committed date, you can file a complaint on the state RERA portal. The RERA tribunal will hear the matter and order compensation, typically interest on the amount paid for the delay period. In serious cases, buyers can also seek a refund with interest.
Does RERA registration affect home loan approval?
Yes. Most banks and housing finance companies prefer or require the project to be RERA-registered before disbursing a home loan against it. RERA registration provides legal clarity on ownership, construction progress, and delivery timelines, reducing lender risk. Bajaj Finance offers home loans from 7.25% p.a.* with amounts up to Rs. 15 Crore* and tenures up to 32 years. Check your eligibility today.
