The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, changed how new projects are sold in India. In Rajasthan, the Rajasthan Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA Rajasthan) registers projects and agents and hears complaints. If you are buying in a new project, RERA is your strongest protection.
Which projects must register
Residential and commercial projects above the size threshold set in the Act (land over 500 square metres or more than eight units) must register before they advertise or sell. Real estate agents who sell such projects must also register.
What to check on the RERA portal
- The project's registration number and validity.
- The promoter's details, land title documents and approvals uploaded.
- The approved plans, carpet areas and amenities promised.
- The declared completion date and quarterly progress updates.
- Any complaints or orders against the project or promoter.
Rights RERA gives you
- Sale by carpet area, so you know the usable space you pay for.
- A cap on advance: generally no more than 10% before a registered agreement for sale.
- Seventy percent of buyers' money must go into a separate project account, used only for that project's land and construction.
- Interest or refund for delayed possession, as per the Act.
- The builder is responsible for structural defects reported within five years of possession.
Tip:If a brochure or advertisement has no RERA number for a project that needs one, do not book.
How to file a complaint
Complaints can be filed online with RERA Rajasthan with the agreement, payment proofs and correspondence. Many disputes over delay, refunds and changes to plans are settled faster here than in civil courts.
