RERA Registration – A Complete Overview
Are you a real estate developer, builder, promoter, or agent involved in commercial or residential projects? If yes, securing RERA Registration is mandatory for lawful operations under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
The RERA Act was introduced to tackle the long-standing issues in the real estate sector by introducing transparency, standardization, and accountability.
RERA registration is carried out at the state level and is essential for both project registration and agent registration in the real estate sector.
Whether you are selling, marketing, or developing a project, RERA registration empowers the concerned Authority to regulate your operations and safeguard the interests of homebuyers and investors.
