RERA Registered vs. RERA Approved Project: Know the Real Deal Before You Invest!

When it comes to buying your dream home or investing in a real estate project, you've probably come across terms like "RERA Registered" and "RERA Approved". But wait! Are they the same? Absolutely NOT. And here's why it matters more than you think.

Myth Buster:

There’s no such thing as "RERA Approved"!
That’s right — many builders use the term "RERA Approved" as a marketing gimmick. But under The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, there's only one legal status:

RERA Registered – and this is what really matters.

Why This Matters to You, the Buyer:

  • Loan Eligibility: Banks usually don’t finance non-RERA registered projects.
  • Legal Protection: RERA registration offers you legal protection in case of delay, fraud, or misrepresentation.
  • Transparency: Full project details like land title, legal approvals, timelines, and project specifications are mandatorily disclosed.
  • Avoid Real Estate Scams: Builders who misuse the term "RERA Approved" often hide project flaws, illegalities, or incomplete documentation.
