Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most families make — and a RERA registration number on an advertisement is not always enough proof that a project is genuine. This guide shows you exactly how to verify a RERA project before buying, so you can protect your money from fraud, delays, and legal trouble.
Some projects display incorrect or expired registration details, and some builders have a history of delays or disputes that a buyer would never discover without checking. Verifying a project before you pay protects you from losing your investment and from years of stress after purchase. A few minutes of verification can save you a lifetime of regret.
Every genuine project has a valid registration number issued by the state RERA authority. Confirm the number exists in the official records and is currently valid, not expired.
Review the promoter’s previous projects, their completion history, and whether they have faced complaints or delays. A clean track record is a strong positive signal.
Confirm the building plans are approved and the land title is clear, with no disputes or encumbrances on the property.
Check whether any complaints or legal cases are registered against the project or builder on the state RERA portal.
Every state RERA authority maintains an online portal where you can search registered projects by name or registration number. Enter the details provided by the builder and confirm they match the official records exactly. If the details do not match, treat it as a serious warning sign.
