RERA Registration: Certificate, Number Check and UP RERA Guide
RERA Registration: Certificate, Number Check and UP RERA Guide
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, commonly called RERA, regulates real-estate projects and real-estate agents in India. In Uttar Pradesh, the regulatory authority is UP RERA.
Promoters generally need project registration before advertising, marketing, booking or selling a covered real-estate project. Real-estate agents dealing in registered projects may also need agent registration.
This guide explains RERA certification, RERA registration, RERA numbers, registered projects, online verification, UP RERA agent registration fees and the role of a RERA consultant.
RERA registration is the process through which a real-estate project or agent is recorded with the appropriate State RERA authority.
There are two common types:
Project registration.
Real-estate-agent registration.
A promoter registers a covered real-estate project with the State RERA authority.
A real-estate agent registers before facilitating transactions in projects covered by RERA.
The exact registration requirement depends on:
Project size.
Number of apartments or plots.
Development status.
Promoter structure.
State rules.
Project exemptions.
Agent activity.
A RERA certificate is the registration certificate issued by the State RERA authority after approval.
A project certificate may show:
Project name.
Promoter name.
Registration number.
Project address.
Registration date.
Completion date.
Promoter details.
Approved project information.
Conditions of registration.
An agent certificate may show:
Agent name.
Registration number.
Registration date.
Validity.
Applicant type.
Registered address.
Contact details.
A RERA Registration should be verified through the official State RERA portal rather than accepted only as a document provided by a promoter or agent.
A RERA number is the unique registration number assigned to a registered project or real-estate agent.
A project registration number may identify:
State.
Project category.
Registration sequence.
Registration year or period.
An agent registration number may identify the registered agent and can be used to verify the agent’s public registration details.
The format varies between States. In Uttar Pradesh, project and agent records are available through the UP RERA portal.
