Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. Before you invest your hard-earned money in a property, it’s essential to do your due diligence—and that starts with checking the RERA data.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, requires developers to register their projects with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). This ensures transparency and accountability in the real estate sector. But how do you make sense of all that information on the RERA website?
Here’s a step-by-step guide by Ghar Insight on what to look for when analyzing RERA data online.
✅ 1. Registration Number & Project Status
Why it matters: A valid RERA registration number confirms that the project is legally approved. Also, the project status—whether it’s ongoing, completed, or delayed—helps assess the risk level.
Check for:
- Registration number & date
- Project status (Ongoing/Completed)
- Original proposed completion date
📍 2. Project Location & Land Area
Why it matters: Legitimate projects clearly show land ownership details and land size.
Review:
- Plot or survey numbers
- Total land area
- Sanctioned and permissible built-up area
This helps you verify if the construction is within legal and approved limits.
👷 3. Promoter Details
Why it matters: Knowing the background of the builder gives insight into reliability.
Look for:
- Type of entity (individual, company, partnership)
- Contact information
- Previous project experience
- Name of authorized signatory
If the promoter has no past experience or unclear records, proceed cautiously.
⚖️ 4. Legal Cases & Documentation
Why it matters: Ongoing litigation can delay or derail a project.
Check:
- Court cases (if any)
- Uploaded legal documents such as:
- Title report
- Form B (Declaration)
- Allotment letter
- Agreements for sale
A clean legal history boosts confidence in your investment.
🏢 5. Building & Unit Details
Why it matters: Details about each building help you evaluate what exactly is being built.
Look for:
- Number of buildings and floors
- Unit types (flats, offices, shops)
- Carpet area of each unit
- Number of units sold or booked
These insights help you assess demand and scale of the project.
🅿️ 6. Amenities & Common Facilities
Why it matters: Every good project offers open spaces and essential facilities.
Check for:
- Recreational open spaces
- Layout and building plan approvals
- Availability of basic amenities like parking, green zones, etc.
🏦 7. Bank Account Details & Financial Status
Why it matters: Developers must maintain a separate bank account for project funds to prevent misuse.
Verify:
- Name of the bank and branch
- IFSC code
- Any financial encumbrances or mortgages on the project
A project with no financial encumbrance and a reputable bank account adds credibility.
🙋 8. Agent Registration & Grievance Redressal
Why it matters: Only deal with RERA-registered real estate agents. Also, a proper grievance redressal system is a sign of a professional builder.
Look for:
- List of registered agents (if available)
- Redressal officer or contact point
- Complaint records (if any)
