RERA Registration for Developers
Expert Compliance & Consultancy Services in India
RERA registration for developers is the foundation of a compliant, sellable real estate project — without it, a project cannot be marketed, booked, or sold. We provide structured RERA consultancy for developers and promoters — helping you meet every statutory requirement accurately while you focus on project execution and business growth.
Overview
What Is RERA Compliance for Developers?
RERA compliance for developers is the full set of obligations the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 places on a promoter — a term defined widely under Section 2(zk) to include those who construct or develop a project for sale. It begins with registering the project under Section 3 before any marketing, and continues through disclosures, a designated project account, adherence to sanctioned plans, and periodic reporting across the project's life.
For a developer, the real challenge is not a single filing but a continuous discipline that runs the length of a project. Disclosures must stay current, project funds must move through a designated account, and certifications must be filed on time — all while the project is being built and sold. Handled well, this becomes a quiet compliance engine in the background; handled badly, it surfaces as notices and stalled sales.
Why It Matters
Why Developers Need Professional RERA Consultancy
RERA compliance is not a one-time activity. Developers are required to manage continuous disclosures, financial discipline, and regulatory filings throughout the project lifecycle, and the obligations vary from state to state. Common challenges developers face include:
A professional RERA consultant helps developers avoid these risks by ensuring compliance is planned, tracked, and executed systematically, rather than handled reactively.
Ongoing Duties
A Developer's Key Obligations Under RERA
Beyond the initial registration, a promoter carries defined statutory duties throughout a project:
Register Before Marketing
No advertising, booking, or sale of a project that requires registration until it is registered under Section 3.
Maintain a Designated Account
Deposit the prescribed share of buyer receipts into a separate project account under Section 4, used only for that project.
Keep Disclosures Current
Upload and update project details and progress on the Authority's web portal under Section 11.
Advertise Truthfully
Ensure the veracity of advertisements and the prospectus under Section 12.
Adhere to Sanctioned Plans
Build in line with approved plans and specifications under Section 14, changing them only through the proper process.
Honour Timelines
Face liability to return amounts and pay compensation for delay or default under Section 18.
