Understanding RERA: What Every Buyer Should Check

Every project you consider should have a valid RERA registration number — verify it directly on your state's RERA portal, not just what's printed on the brochure.

RERA also mandates that developers sell by carpet area, not the older, more inflated super built-up area — always ask for the carpet area figure explicitly.

Delayed possession has a legal remedy under RERA: developers owe buyers interest for every month past the committed date. Know this before you sign.
