What is RERA Registration?

RERA registration is a legal certification that needs to be acquired by builders, promoters, and real estate agents prior to advertising, booking, and selling any real estate property. As per the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) 2016. Once approved, you receive a unique RERA number, which should be included in any advertisement and offer you receive.

A builder cannot sell flats, and a broker cannot sell property in a covered project without a valid RERA certification. The Government of India brought the RERA Act on 1 May 2017. Now every state has its own RERA authority like UP RERA, HRERA (Haryana) and MahaRERA (Maharashtra). These ensure that buildings are constructed according to regulations, accurate data is provided, and projects are completed on schedule by builders and agents.

Types of RERA Registration

RERA registration covers different categories, including Project Registration, Promoter Registration, and Real Estate Agent Registration. Depending on the project requirements, promoters may also need project extension, renewal, or amendment under the applicable state RERA rules.

Who Needs RERA Registration in India?

RERA registration is mandatory for two main groups:

1. Builders, Developers and Promoters 

You must register your project if:

• The land area is more than 500 square metres, or

• The project has more than 8 apartments (all phases counted together)

• The project is ongoing and has not received its completion certificate

This covers residential flats, commercial shops, offices, plotted colonies and mixed-use projects.

2. Real Estate Agents and Brokers 

Any person or company that helps buyers and sellers deal in property within RERA-registered projects must complete RERA agent registration. This includes:

• Individual property dealers

• Proprietorship firms

• Partnership firms and LLPs

• Private limited companies and channel partners

Benefits of RERA Certification

Getting your RERA certification also ensures your business grows too, along with following the law:

• Buyers trust you more: Today, most home buyers do a RERA number check before paying even a single rupee. A valid number shows you are genuine.

• Legal Right to Sell: Advertising, marketing, and selling covered properties can only be done legally by registered builders and agents.

• Collaborations with big builders: Only the best developers work with a registered RERA agent. No registration means no channel partner deals.

• Protection in disputes: If someone lodges a false complaint, you are protected if you follow RERA rules.

• Better bank support: Banks are more likely to give home loans against RERA-registered projects, which means faster sales for developers.

• No heavy penalties: You stay safe from daily fines and legal trouble.

Documents Required for RERA Registration

Document lists change a little from state to state. Here is the common list:

Step-by-Step Online RERA Registration Process

Online application for RERA registration is available in almost every state. Here is how it works:

Process for RERA Agent Registration

1. Choose Your State Portal: Your registration is state-wise. If you work in Noida, you apply on UP RERA, and if you work in Gurugram, you apply on Haryana RERA. 

2. Create your account: Select “Agent Registration” and choose either individual or firm. Verify your mobile number and email ID with OTP.

3. Fill the Application Form: Personal or business details, PAN, address, previous experience. Every detail must match your documents exactly.

4. Upload Documents: Scan and upload all the documents in the right size and format. Wrong file size is one of the most common reasons for delays.

5. Government Fee Payment: Pay online through the portal. Save the payment receipt.

6. Authority Verification: RERA officers will verify your application. They may raise a query, which must be answered quickly.

7. Download your RERA Agent Certificate: Once approved, you can download your RERA agent certificate and unique RERA number from the portal.

Process for Project Registration (Builders)

1. Create a promoter login on your state RERA portal.

2. Fill the project registration form (Form A in most of the states), giving full details of the project.

3. Upload land, approval, financial, and legal documents.

4. Open a separate bank account for the project (70% of buyer money must be held here for construction and land costs).

5. Pay the registration fee, which is usually based on the project area.

6. Submit the declaration (Form B in most states).

7. Receive your project RERA number, login ID, and registration certificate.

As per the RERA Act, the authority should approve or reject a complete application within 30 days. The time may vary based on documentation approval and queries raised. With proper filing by RERA experts, most cases move without long delays.

Validity of RERA Registration

• Agent registration is generally valid for 5 years. So do always check the current validity in your state, as some states like Uttar Pradesh have changed their rules to 10 years' validity.

• Project registration is valid until the completion date declared by the builder.

Renewal should be applied for before expiry, usually at least 60 days in advance. This may vary depending on the state.

RERA Agent Registration Fees (Government Fees)

RERA registration fees vary depending on the state, type of project, project size, and land area. Promoters are required to pay the applicable government fee while submitting the RERA application. Additional professional or consultancy charges may apply if assistance is taken for documentation and filing.

What is a RERA Number?

A RERA number is a unique registration code given by the State RERA Authority to every registered project and agent. It has to be printed on brochures, hoardings, and websites. Agents must mention it in ads, social media posts, and every deal they help close.

Project RERA number is different from the Agent RERA number. One says the building project, and another says the property dealer.

How to Do a RERA Number Check (RERA Number Verification)

It is important to always verify the RERA number before purchasing a flat or hiring a broker; the steps to do so are as follows:

1. Visit the official RERA website of the State where the property is situated.

2. Click on "Registered Projects" or "Registered Agents".

3. Type in the RERA, project, builder, or agent name.

4. Verify that the name, address, and validity date are correct.

5. View the approved project plan, completion date, and quarterly project progress updates.

Tip for Buyers: Only deal with RERA-registered projects and agents. 

Penalties for Not Getting RERA Registration

RERA rules are strict, and the fines are big for not registering as per the RERA Act:

• Builders not registering a project: Penalty up to 10% of the estimated cost of the project. They can continue ignoring orders and face more penalties or jail for up to 3 years.

• Penalty of Rs. 10,000 per day of default, up to a maximum of 5% of the cost of the property. 

• False information or misleading advertisements: additional fines and possible cancelation of registration

Post Registration Rules to Follow 

Staying compliant after registering is also important:

For Builders:

• Show the RERA number on every advertisement

• Keep 70% of buyer money in the separate project account

• Upload quarterly progress reports on the RERA portal

• Take buyer consent before changing approved plans

• Deliver possession on the promised date

For Agents:

• Mention your RERA number in all marketing

• Deal only in RERA-registered projects
