Real estate has seen massive growth in the last decade due to higher income levels, urban development, and changing lifestyles. However, this growth also led to several unfair practices that harmed homebuyers. For many years, buyers faced issues like false promises, assured returns that were never delivered, forced project cancellations, and rushed sales. These practices mainly benefited developers while end-users suffered financial loss and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To stop such problems, the Government of India introduced the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, commonly known as RERA. It seeks to formalize real-estate dealings, reinforce level field play, and impart transparency, safeguarding the end-users and stakeholders\u2019 interests.

These individuals must visit the respective state\u2019s RERA portal and get registered via an application. This must happen before they introduce their project to the public for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon registering, prevailing real-estate projects will come under the radar of the nodal agency viz. Real Estate Regulatory Authority falling under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. The authority ensures that projects\u2019 details stay visible to the buyers so that they can make informed decisions. RERA comprehensively regulates real estate developers and agents to keep things formalized, transparent, and legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_Required_for_securing_the_RERA_registration\"><\/span>Documents Required for securing the RERA registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Title deed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Development plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Layout plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encumbrance details of the land<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sanctioned plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PAN card and Aadhaar number etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash flow statements and income tax returns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_Secure_the_RERA_Registration_for_Real_Estate_Agents\"><\/span>Steps to Secure the RERA Registration for Real Estate Agents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Head to the state-specific <strong>RERA portal<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/rera.mohua.gov.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Locate and explore the Registration tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Select the apt option from the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Projects (Application by Promoter)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real Estate Agent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchaser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: Wait till the portal leads you to the next window wherein you will fill out the pre-registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: Fill out the registration form with accurate details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_secure_the_RERA_Registration_for_promoters\"><\/span>Steps to secure the RERA Registration for promoters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Make your way to the respective state\u2019s RERA portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Login or create an account with valid credentials if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Select the apt option from the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Promoter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real Estate Agent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchaser<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: Select Promoter since you serve the same role.
