Know More about RERA Registration
Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 201, the Parliament of India passed a regulation which made it mandatory for each state to have a Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), which would benefit both buyers and sellers in the real estate sector.
RERA builder registration is essential since it has had a great impact on the real estate sector as liquidity has been tightened. Project costs have increased, and so has the Cost of Capital. Real estate has reached a new level of standardization with the introduction and application of RERA.

Why registration is mandatory for builders, brokers & agents ?
RERA was introduced to benefit both buyers and builders alike. As a builder, you must choose RERA project registration taking into consideration the following points:
- Buyers will not hesitate in investing in your project since you shall be required to deliver the space on time
- You can only advertise your project after your project is registered under RERA
- Also you will receive all clearances making your project a suitable choice for buyers
- You have the feasibility of complaining about any matter related to the project to RERA or the Appellate Tribunal.
- RERA ensures quick dispute resolution with transparency.
- The risk of insolvency is reduced since you shall be required to deposit 70% of the total amount of funds collected for the project into a separate bank account. However, this amount can only be withdrawn if the architect, engineer, and CA agrees to it.
