RERA Checklist: 7 Things to Verify Before Booking

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has brought transparency to the real estate sector. Here's what you must verify before booking a property.

1. RERA Registration Number

Every project must have a unique RERA registration number. Verify this on the state RERA website.

2. Project Timeline

Check the project completion date mentioned in the RERA registration. This is legally binding.

3. Carpet Area

RERA mandates that properties be sold based on carpet area, not super built-up area.

4. Title Clearance

Verify that the land title is clear and free from legal disputes.

5. Approvals

Check all necessary approvals from local authorities like municipal corporations and development authorities.

6. Complaint History

Check if there are any complaints filed against the builder or project.

7. Financial Health

Review the builder's financial track record and past project deliveries.
