State wise RERA is one of the most confusing things for buyers and builders — because RERA is not a single national system — every Indian state runs its own RERA authority, portal, and rules. This guide explains how state-wise RERA works across India, why the differences exist, and how to find and use the right state RERA portal for your needs.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 is a central law, but it directs each state and union territory to set up its own Real Estate Regulatory Authority. This is because land and real estate are governed at the state level in India. As a result, each state has its own RERA portal, registration process, fee structure, and timelines.
This is why a project in Maharashtra registers with MahaRERA, one in Rajasthan with RERA Rajasthan, and one in Uttar Pradesh with UP-RERA — each through a separate official portal.
While portals and details differ, the core principles of RERA are consistent nationwide:
The simplest way is to identify the state where your property or project is located, then access that state's official RERA portal. Because searching for each state portal separately is time-consuming, a single directory that links to every official state RERA portal saves considerable effort and ensures you reach the correct official source.
Most Indian states and union territories have established their RERA authority and portal, including Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Haryana, Punjab, and many more. Each maintains its own registered project and agent database.
