Every engagement at Nyaya Grah is grounded in the relevant statute. For founders and counsel reviewing this matter, here is the foundation.
STATE REAL ESTATE REGULATORY AUTHORITY (RERA Authority) — each state has independent Authority. State-wise: Rajasthan RERA (RERAJ), Maharashtra RERA (MahaRERA — most prolific), Karnataka RERA (K-RERA), Tamil Nadu RERA (TNRERA), Delhi RERA, Telangana State RERA (TSRERA), Gujarat RERA, UP RERA, etc. State Real Estate APPELLATE TRIBUNAL (REAT) — appellate forum. Adjudicating Officer for compensation disputes. NOT MCA / NOT FSSAI / NOT Municipal.
State-specific RERA portals: Rajasthan (rera.rajasthan.gov.in / rajrera.rajasthan.gov.in) · Maharashtra (maharera.maharashtra.gov.in — most active) · Karnataka (rera.karnataka.gov.in / rera.kar.nic.in) · Tamil Nadu (rera.tn.gov.in) · Delhi (rera.delhi.gov.in) · Telangana (rera.telangana.gov.in) · Gujarat (gujrera.gujarat.gov.in) · UP (up-rera.in). All states moved to online portal-based application + project status updates + complaints + compliance.
Multiple states issued AMENDMENTS to RERA Rules over 2020-2024 — strengthening buyer protection, escrow tracking, advertising standards. MAHARASHTRA RERA most active — 30,000+ complaints disposed, jurisprudence-rich. Many state Authorities now have RERA APP for project tracking. INTEGRATION with state property registration (Sub-Registrar) being explored. RERA Authority + Real Estate Appellate Tribunal full strength in most states. Builder-buyer agreement template standardised. Carpet area enforcement strict — heavy penalties for super built-up area sales. NOIDA-Greater NOIDA RERA actively addressing legacy stalled projects. Insolvency-RERA interface (NCLT vs RERA) clarified via Supreme Court rulings — buyer rights prevail.
No vague timelines. Here's the actual phase-wise breakdown for RERA Registration in Mumbai.
Identify registration type: (a) PROJECT REGISTRATION (Section 3) — for PROMOTERS/BUILDERS/DEVELOPERS of real estate projects with > 500 sq m LAND area OR > 8 APARTMENTS, (b) REAL ESTATE AGENT REGISTRATION (Section 9) — for individuals/firms/companies acting as BROKERS/AGENTS for property sale/purchase. Project applicability triggers: ongoing project (where completion certificate not received before RERA notification in state), new projects. EXEMPTIONS: projects with < 500 sqm OR < 8 units, renovation/repair (no new sale), self-occupation/agricultural.
For PROJECT REGISTRATION: Land documents (title deed, sale deed, NA approval if applicable, agricultural-to-residential conversion), Layout plan + Building plan approved by Town Planning, Sanctioned plan from Municipal Corp / Town Planning, NOC from Fire Department + Pollution Control + Airport Authority (if applicable), Environmental Clearance (for projects > 20,000 sqm built-up), Project cost certificate from CA, 70% escrow account opened, Bank account details, Architect/Engineer/CA certifications, Apartment details + carpet area + super built-up, Specifications + amenities list. For AGENT: PAN, Aadhaar, business address proof, GST registration if applicable, experience certificates.
PROJECT (Form A): Submit on state RERA portal with ALL project details — land area, total apartments, carpet areas, project cost, expected completion date, promoter details, past projects track record, financial details. Form B Affidavit attached. Government fee paid based on project size: typically ₹5-50 per sqm of FSI (₹50,000 to ₹50 lakh based on project scale). AGENT (Form G): individual/firm details, PAN, experience. Lower fees ₹10,000-₹25,000 typically.
RERA Authority reviews application. Common queries: title clarity, layout plan compliance, fee adequacy, completion timeline realism, financial bona fides, past project compliance (if any). Possible HEARING called by Authority if discrepancies. Reply with additional documents/clarifications within prescribed time. RERA Act requires decision within 30 DAYS (S.5) — but practical timeline 45-90 days.
RERA REGISTRATION NUMBER issued (format: state-specific — e.g., MahaRERA P51700XXXXX, RERAJ Project XXX/2024). Certificate (Form C for project, Form H for agent) downloadable from portal. MANDATORY DISCLOSURES: RERA number on ALL advertisements, brochures, prospectus, builder-buyer agreements. WEBSITE — RERA number prominent on developer website. QUARTERLY UPDATES on portal: project progress, financial details, buyer book. 70% ESCROW maintenance + withdrawal subject to project milestone certification by Architect/Engineer/CA.
Most counsel quote one number. We show you what goes where, so there is nothing to discover later.
| Component | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Government fee — Project Registration (state-specific, FSI-based) | ₹50,000 – ₹50,00,000+ | Based on project size; e.g., Maharashtra ₹10/sqm, Rajasthan ₹5/sqm, larger projects significantly higher |
| Government fee — Real Estate Agent Registration | ₹10,000 – ₹50,000 | State-specific; lower than project. Maharashtra ₹25K individual / ₹2.5L corporate |
| Renewal fee (project — if extension needed) | Same as registration | For project completion extension |
| Renewal fee (agent — typically 5 years) | Same as initial | Agent registration valid 5 years, renewable |
| Professional fee — RERA Project Registration | ₹49,999 – ₹2,49,999 | Complex compliance — documents + approvals + RERA liaison |
| Professional fee — Agent Registration | ₹9,999 – ₹24,999 | Simpler compliance for individual/firm agent |
| Architect / CA / Engineer certifications | ₹25,000 – ₹2,00,000 | For project cost, layout, structural certifications |
| Quarterly compliance retainer (post-registration) | ₹9,999 – ₹49,999/qtr | For project status updates + buyer disclosures |
| PENALTY for non-registration (S.59) | Up to 10% of project cost | Plus possible 3-year imprisonment for promoter; severe deterrent |
Total estimate from 9999 · final fee depends on entity size, document readiness, and city-specific stamp duty (see local jurisdiction above).
From hundreds of engagements, here are the patterns that cause founders and businesses to come back to us in distress. Avoid these and you've already won 70% of the matter.
S.3 RERA Act: PROHIBITED to advertise, market, book, sell or invite booking of apartments/plots in project requiring registration WITHOUT registration. EVEN PRELIMINARY ADVERTISEMENT (newspaper, hoarding, website, broker promotion) is violation. PENALTY: 10% of estimated project cost + 3 YEARS imprisonment for promoter. STRICT enforcement post-2017.
S.3 — registration NOT REQUIRED if: (a) land area < 500 sqm AND (b) apartments < 8. BOTH conditions must be met for exemption. Many small developers wrongly exclude themselves. ANY ONE threshold crossed = registration mandatory. Plot scheme + apartment scheme: count separately if separate projects.
Section 13 RERA: 70% of buyer collections MUST be deposited in SEPARATE BANK ACCOUNT for that specific project. Withdrawal allowed only for COST OF CONSTRUCTION + LAND, certified by Architect + Engineer + CA at each milestone. Diverting funds to other projects = SEVERE violation = penalty + criminal prosecution + project cancellation. Most common founder mistake.
RERA application requires REALISTIC completion date. Date once declared can be extended ONLY in extraordinary circumstances (S.6) — through formal extension application. Over-optimistic date = inability to deliver = buyer complaints + DELAY COMPENSATION (S.18) — interest at SBI MCLR + 2%. Heavy financial impact.
RERA mandates SALE on CARPET AREA basis (Section 2(k)). Carpet area = net usable floor area within walls (excludes balcony partial, terrace, common areas). Super built-up area includes common areas (lifts, lobby, stairs) — typically 25-35% loading. Selling on super built-up = violation. Always quote in carpet area + can separately mention balcony/exclusive use areas.
S.11 RERA — quarterly updates MANDATORY: project completion percentage, expenditure incurred, sale of apartments, financial statements. Missing = non-compliance + buyer complaint vulnerability + Authority show-cause + fine.
BROKERS / AGENTS / FACILITATORS handling property transactions for fee/commission MUST register under S.9 RERA. Operating without = ₹10,000/day continuous penalty up to 5% of property cost. Many small brokers, online property portals, individual referrers overlook this — strict enforcement post-2020.
RERA "promoter" includes: developer, contractor undertaking construction, land owner if part of revenue, joint venture partners, redevelopment SRA society. Multiple promoters = JOINT LIABILITY. Wrong declaration shifts liability incorrectly + Authority can investigate true promoter chain.
Agreement must contain ALL RERA-prescribed clauses (Schedule A): carpet area, possession date, parking allocation, common amenities, payment schedule, delay penalty (mirror to S.18), termination, dispute resolution. Generic builder favourable agreements = void per RERA + invalidate sale + buyer compensation claims.
Each project has SEPARATE escrow account (S.13). Funds collected for Project A CANNOT be used for Project B construction. Cross-project fund flow = severe RERA violation + criminal liability + project cancellation. Maintain strict project-level financial discipline.
These are the signals — observed across the profession — that your money and matter are about to be handled poorly. We list them so you can vet anyone, including us.
