RERA Registration

Overview

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 requires real estate projects and agents to be registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) of the concerned state. Promoters must register a project before advertising, marketing or selling units, subject to the thresholds set under the Act, and real estate agents must register before facilitating such transactions. Registration is done through each state's RERA portal and improves transparency and accountability in the sector.
