RERA Registration
Expert Project, Agent & Compliance Services in India

RERA registration is what lets a real estate business operate within the law — a project cannot be advertised or sold, and an agent cannot facilitate transactions, until it is registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority. We provide end-to-end RERA registration and compliance services that help real estate businesses meet their obligations smoothly — without delays, penalties, or confusion.

What Is RERA Registration?

RERA registration is the registration of a real estate project or a real estate agent with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. A real estate project is registered under Section 3 before it is advertised, marketed, booked, or sold, while a real estate agent is registered under Section 9 before facilitating sales in a registered project. RERA was introduced to bring transparency, accountability, and discipline to real estate, protecting home-buyers while placing defined obligations on promoters and agents.

Under RERA, developers and agents are required to register eligible projects and agencies, make accurate disclosures on the RERA web portal, maintain a separate project account for buyer receipts, file periodic updates and returns, and comply with the state-specific RERA rules.

Getting registration right at the outset is what protects a project later. Inaccurate disclosures, missed filings, or a misjudged exemption can lead to penalties, interest, or even suspension long after launch — which is exactly why professional RERA advisory matters as much as the construction itself.

Why RERA Registration Matters

RERA registration is not just a legal formality. It directly affects a project's credibility, buyer trust, and long-term business reputation. A registered project carries a verifiable registration number, disclosed timelines, and protected buyer funds, which is increasingly what serious buyers and lenders look for before they commit.

The flip side is real: non-compliance can result in heavy penalties, interest, or project suspension, and an unregistered project cannot lawfully be advertised or sold at all. In a market where transparency has become the norm, getting RERA right is what keeps a project moving and a brand intact.

Who Needs RERA Registration?

Our RERA services are suitable for everyone the Act places obligations on, including:

Builders and real estate developers
Construction companies
Promoters launching residential or commercial projects
Real estate agents and brokers
Landowners involved in joint development agreements

When Is RERA Registration Required?

Under Section 3 of the RERA Act, 2016, a promoter cannot advertise, market, book, sell, or offer to sell any plot, apartment, or building without first registering the project — wherever the project exceeds the prescribed threshold of land area or number of apartments, counting all phases of development together.

Some situations fall outside the registration requirement, including:

Projects that have already received the completion certificate
Certain small projects below the prescribed land area or number of apartments
Pure renovation, repair, or re-development that does not involve marketing, advertising, or selling

Misjudging applicability is one of the most common and costly RERA errors, so eligibility is the first thing we check.

How the RERA Registration Process Works

While each case differs by state and project, our RERA registration generally follows a clear sequence:

1
Eligibility analysis — we confirm whether the project or agent activity requires registration under Section 3 or Section 9.
2
Document preparation — we compile and verify the title, approvals, plans, declarations, and financial details required.
3
Project account setup — for projects, we advise on the separate account required under Section 4 for buyer receipts.
4
Application filing — we prepare and file the registration application on the relevant State RERA portal.
5
Liaison for approval — we coordinate with the Authority on clarifications, objections, and approvals.
6
Registration number — the project or agent registration is granted and the registration number issued.
7
Ongoing compliance setup — we put in place quarterly and annual updates, disclosures, and escrow compliance.
8
Lifecycle support — we assist with extensions, modifications, transfers, and certifications as the project progresses.

Documents Required for RERA Registration

The exact list depends on the state's RERA rules, but typically includes:

For Project Registration

Promoter's details and PAN; title and ownership documents of the land; sanctioned plan, layout plan, and commencement certificate; details of the project and all its phases; prescribed declarations under the RERA rules; audited financial details and details of the separate project account.

For Agent Registration

PAN and address proof of the agent; constitution documents of the entity, where applicable; photographs and the prescribed agent declarations; details of the place of business.

Key Legal & Regulatory Framework

RERA registration is governed by the central Act together with each state's own rules. The table below maps the main aspects to the references that typically govern them. The exact requirements depend on the state in which the project is located.

Penalties for Non-Compliance with RERA

RERA treats non-registration and non-compliance seriously. Operating without registration is an offence with real commercial consequences:

Non-registration of a project — a promoter who fails to register can face a penalty under Section 59 of the RERA Act, 2016, with further consequences for continued default.
Non-registration of an agent — an agent who facilitates transactions without registration can face a penalty under Section 62.
Interest and suspension — non-compliance can attract interest and, in serious cases, suspension or revocation of the project registration.
Loss of marketability — an unregistered project cannot be lawfully advertised or sold, which stalls the project commercially.

Frequently Asked Questions on RERA Registration

What is RERA registration?
RERA registration is the registration of a real estate project or a real estate agent with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. A project is registered under Section 3 before it can be advertised, marketed, or sold, and an agent is registered under Section 9 before facilitating transactions in a registered project. It brings transparency and accountability to real estate and protects home-buyers.
Who needs to register under RERA?
Builders, developers, construction companies, and promoters of eligible residential or commercial projects must register the project, and real estate agents and brokers must obtain agent registration before facilitating sales. Landowners involved in joint development agreements are also commonly drawn into RERA compliance.
When is project registration under RERA mandatory?
Under Section 3 of the RERA Act, 2016, a promoter cannot advertise, market, book, or sell any plot, apartment, or building without first registering the project, wherever it exceeds the prescribed threshold of land area or number of apartments, counting all phases. Projects that have received the completion certificate, certain small projects, and pure renovation or repair work not involving marketing are outside this requirement.
Is RERA registration different for developers and agents?
Yes. A developer registers the project itself, with its approvals, disclosures, and a separate project account, under Sections 3 and 4, while an agent registers under Section 9 and receives a registration number to be quoted in dealings. We handle both project and agent registration end to end.
What is a separate project account under RERA?
Under Section 4 of the RERA Act, 2016, a promoter must deposit a defined portion of the amounts realised from buyers into a separate account, to be used only for that project's construction and land cost. This escrow requirement is a core RERA discipline, and we help set up and comply with it correctly.
What ongoing compliance does RERA require after registration?
RERA compliance continues throughout the project. Under Section 11 of the RERA Act, 2016, a promoter must keep the project's details current on the Authority's web portal, including quarterly updates on progress and the prescribed financial disclosures. Agents must keep their registration valid and renew it before it lapses.
What happens if a project or agent is not registered under RERA?
Operating without registration is an offence. A promoter who fails to register a project can face a penalty under Section 59 of the RERA Act, 2016, and an unregistered agent can face a penalty under Section 62, with interest and even project suspension in serious cases. An unregistered project also cannot be lawfully advertised or sold, which stalls it commercially.
Which authority grants RERA registration?
Each state and union territory has its own Real Estate Regulatory Authority and its own rules under the RERA Act, 2016, such as MahaRERA and the Maharashtra rules for projects in Maharashtra. Registration is filed online with the Authority of the state where the project is located.
What documents are required for RERA project registration?
Typically the promoter's details and PAN, the title and ownership documents of the land, the sanctioned plan, layout, and commencement certificate, details of the project and its phases, the prescribed declarations, and audited financial details. The exact list depends on the state's RERA rules and the nature of the project.
Do you help with existing projects, not just new RERA registration?
Yes. Alongside new project and agent registration, we handle quarterly and annual updates, project extension, modifications and changes, transfer or takeover compliance, and certification of project accounts, so a project stays compliant across its lifecycle.
