How to check RERA registration in Karnataka
RERA registration protects buyers of new projects. Here's how to check it yourself on the official website in a few minutes.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) requires most new residential projects above a certain size, and real estate agents who sell them, to register with the state RERA authority. In Karnataka this is the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Karnataka.
Why it matters
- Registered projects must disclose approvals, plans, timelines and the promoter's details.
- Buyers of registered projects have a formal place to file complaints.
- Registered agents must follow RERA rules when dealing with buyers.
How to check a project
- Go to the official website: rera.karnataka.gov.in.
- Open the section for registered projects and search by project name, promoter name or registration number.
- Open the project details and check the promoter, approvals, plan, completion date and any updates.
- Make sure the details match what the builder or seller has told you.
How to check an agent
The same website lets you search registered agents by name or registration number. A registered agent's certificate shows their name, registration number and validity period.
Note
Not every property needs project RERA registration. For example, resale properties and some smaller projects may be outside it. For those, document checks are even more important. See our resale documents checklist.
