🌐 What is RERA Registration?
RERA stands for Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, introduced in 2016 to bring transparency in the real estate sector. Every real estate project and agent needs to be registered under RERA before advertising or selling.
So if a project is RERA registered, it means:
-
The builder has shared all legal docs
-
You can track project delivery timelines
-
There’s accountability in case of delays or fraud
🧾 Why Check RERA Registration Before Buying?
You’d be surprised how many people don’t check RERA number online and end up in a mess. Here’s why you should verify:
-
To confirm the project is legally approved
-
To see start and end dates of construction
-
To check if any complaints or delays are reported
-
To verify the builder’s track record

Here’s a quick list of state RERA portals you can use to verify registration:
| State | RERA Portal Link |

What If a Project Doesn’t Have RERA Registration?
Red flag 🚩.
If a builder tells you something like “Registration is under process” or “Not required for small projects”, take a pause and double-check. Every project above 500 sq. meters or 8 units must be registered.
Also, if it’s not listed on the RERA portal — don’t fall for flashy brochures or cheap rates.
Quick Tip
Always ask for the RERA registration number before booking or paying the token amount. You can also verify the builder’s past projects on the portal — see how many were delayed or completed on time.
Final Words
Buying property is emotional, but that doesn’t mean you skip the homework. A 5-minute RERA registration check online can save you lakhs and years of stress.
So next time someone says, “It’s a very premium project, sir”, you say — “Cool, what’s the RERA number?” 😉
