How to Check Your RERA Registration Number

By NyayKart Legal Team - Experts in RERA, Property Law & Consumer Protection Across India

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) has transformed real estate transparency in India. Before booking any flat, plot, commercial unit, or even paying a token amount, you MUST verify the project’s RERA Registration Number. This updated 2025 guide explains where to find it, how to verify it, what details to check, and what to do if the project is not registered. It also includes new updates, state-wise portal links, and legal steps buyers should take.

Why Checking the RERA Number is Important

• Ensures the project is legally registered with the State RERA.

• Confirms that the builder has uploaded approved plans, financial details, and timelines.

• Protects buyers from fraud, false advertisements, and illegal constructions.

• Allows you to track quarterly project updates which builders MUST upload.

• Gives you access to legal and compliance history of the builder.

What Information You Get After Checking a RERA Number

• RERA Registration Number

• Project Start & Completion Date

• Approved Plans, Layouts & Permissions

• Financial Disclosures & CA Certificates

• Litigation / complaints filed against builder

• Sales progress & construction updates

• Promoter past project history

• Agent details and registration validity

Important: How to Verify If a RERA Number Is Genuine

• Cross-check the number on the official state RERA portal—never rely on brochures alone.

• Check if the number starts with state code (like P- for MahaRERA projects).

• Verify that certificate date and project start date match.

• Ensure the promoter name on certificate = promoter name in agreement.

• Check if the project’s registration is active or expired.

How to Identify Fake or Misleading RERA Numbers

• Incorrect format or wrong prefix.

• Number not found on the official portal.

• Builder shows old project’s RERA number for a new project.

• Builder claims ‘RERA applied’ — this is illegal.

• Agent shows expired RERA registration.

What to Do If the Project Is Not Registered Under RERA

If the project does not appear in the RERA database, it may be unregistered — which is a major violation. You can immediately:

• Issue a Legal Notice demanding the builder share the correct RERA number.

• File a complaint for non-registration under Section 59 of RERA.

• Stop all payments until verification is complete.

• Report the builder to RERA via online grievance portal.

Penalties for Builders for Not Registering a Project

• Imprisonment up to 3 years under Section 59(2).

• Freeze of project bank accounts.
