Portal walkthrough

How to search the K-RERA portal

The Karnataka register is public, free and searchable by anyone. This is the whole procedure, run against our own two registrations — because a guide that teaches you to check its author is the only kind worth publishing.

What this walkthrough does

Search the Karnataka RERA register for a project

Find a Karnataka project on the K-RERA register using its registration number, read the row the register returns, open the digitally signed certificate behind it, and check the promoter against the complaint and unregistered-project lists.

Worked against THE1, registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/051224/007268, and Saffron, registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/140825/008000 — both promoted by SUYUG CONSTRUCTIONS, both in Bengaluru Urban district.

Every menu path, field label, column heading and button caption below was read off the live portal on . Government portals get rebuilt. If a label has moved, trust the portal and not this page — and tell us, so that we can re-check it and move the date.

9 steps

The procedure, in full

One step per numbered block. The first paragraph of each is the instruction; everything after it is the reason, and the panel under it prints the control names exactly as the portal spells them, including where the portal spells them oddly.

  1. Open the register and switch it to English

    Go to rera.karnataka.gov.in, which opens in Kannada, and use the English link in the top right of the masthead if you would rather read it in English.

    Both languages carry the same register and the same forms; the language switch only changes the labels. Everything quoted in this guide is the English wording as it read on the date at the head of this page.

  2. Open Services, then Project Status

    In the main navigation open the Services menu and choose Project Status, which is the public search over every project application the Authority holds.

    The page that opens is headed Project Applications and carries a row of counters across the top — Applied For Registration, Approved, Rejected, Withdrawn/Revoked, under Process, under Query, Third Party Transfer and Applied for Completion. Those counters are the shape of the register: an application can be in any of those states, and only one of them is the one a buyer is looking for.

    What it is called on the portal

    • Services
    • Project Status

    Link to step 02

  3. Read the search form before you use it

    The form is headed Search Project Details and carries six inputs with the instruction Please enter atleast one of the search item above them.

    The six are Project Name, Promoter / Company / Firm Name, Application No, Registration No, District and Taluk. The District list is the thirty-one Karnataka districts; the Taluk list only populates once a district is chosen. The submit control is a single button captioned Search.

    Two of those six are exact-match fields on strings you can copy, and four of them are guesses. That distinction is the whole difference between a search that proves something and a search that proves nothing.

    What it is called on the portal

    • Project Name
    • Promoter / Company / Firm Name
    • Application No
    • Registration No
    • District
    • Taluk
    • Searchthe submit button

    Link to step 03

  4. Search on the registration number, never on the project name

    Paste the full registration number, slashes included, into the Registration No field and press Search.

    For THE1 that string is PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/051224/007268. Copy it from our registrations page rather than retyping it: a register search on a partial or mistyped number returns nothing, and nothing is indistinguishable from a search that failed.

    A name search is the trap here, and it is the reason this step is worded so firmly. The register does not hold the name a project is marketed under. It holds the name on the application. Typing THE1 into Project Name will not find THE1, because the register calls it SUYUG THE 1 — and typing Saffron will not find Saffron either, because the register calls it SUYUG'S SAFFRON, apostrophe and all.

    What it is called on the portal

    • Registration No
    • Search

    What this step does not prove

    An empty result set is not proof that a project is unregistered. It is proof that this search did not match. Change the search before you draw the conclusion.

    Link to step 04

  5. Read the row, column by column

    The register answers with a single wide row whose columns are the register's own fields, and the row is the record — not the marketing page it came from.

    The columns, in the order the register prints them, are: S.No, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT NO, REGISTRATION NO, View Project Details, PROMOTER NAME, PROJECT NAME, STATUS, DISTRICT, TALUK, PROJECT TYPE, APPLIED ON, APPROVED ON, PROPOSED COMPLETION DATE, PROPOSED COMPLETION DATE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION, COVID-19 EXTENSION DATE, SECTION 6 EXTENSION DATE, FURTHER EXTENSION DATE, Certificate, Covid Certificate, Renewed Certificate, FURTHER EXTENSION ORDER and COMPLAINTS / LITIGATION.

    Read the four extension columns together with the two completion columns. A project whose completion column and whose registration-at-time-of-approval column disagree has had its period moved, and the column that moved it tells you under what power — the Authority's section 6 extension, the COVID-19 relief, or a further extension order. That history is on the row and it is on no brochure anywhere.

    What this step does not prove

    STATUS describes the APPLICATION, not today. APPROVED means the Authority granted the registration; it is not the register certifying that the registration is still running. The register prints dates and lets you compare them. It does not print a verdict, and neither do we.

    Link to step 05

  6. Open the certificate from the Certificate column

    The Certificate column on the row links straight to the Authority's own registration certificate as a digitally signed PDF, and its address carries the registration number you searched on.

    The certificate is the primary document. It carries the acknowledgement number and the date the application was made, the registration number, the project name with its survey numbers and khata number, the promoter's registered name and address, the approval date, and a QR code with the instruction to scan it to validate the authenticity of the certificate. It is digitally signed by the Chairman of the Authority, and the signature panel names the signer and stamps the date and place of signing.

    Compare the survey numbers on it, field by field, with what our registrations page prints. If any character differs, the certificate is right and we are wrong — tell us and we will correct the page against the certificate.

    What this step does not prove

    The certificate carries two addresses, and they are different things: the project's address, and the promoter's registered office address. They can name different taluks for perfectly ordinary reasons. Do not read the promoter's address as the site's location, or the site's taluk as the promoter's.

    Link to step 06

  7. Run the second registration, so you have a comparison

    Repeat the search with Saffron's number, PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/140825/008000, so that you have two rows from the same promoter to read against each other.

    Two records from one promoter is the cheapest sanity check there is. It shows you which fields are stable — the promoter name is identical on both — and which fields are per-project and must be read per project. It is also how you discover that a promoter's projects can sit in different taluks inside the same district.

    What it is called on the portal

    • Registration No
    • Search

    Link to step 07

  8. Search the promoter, not just the project

    Open Complaints, then Promoter Wise Complaint Report, and use the table's own search box to type the promoter name exactly as the register spells it.

    The report is one long table with the columns S.NO, PROMOTER NAME, NO OF COMPLAINTS and COMPLAINT LIST, and a filter box that searches it as you type. The name to type is SUYUG CONSTRUCTIONS — the name on the certificate — not the trading name on this website. There is a Project Wise Complaint Report beside it that does the same thing at project level.

    We are not going to tell you what that report returns for us today. Whatever it returns is a fact about SUYUG, published by the regulator, and this page exists precisely so that you never have to accept our account of a fact about ourselves. Run it.

    What it is called on the portal

    • Complaints
    • Promoter Wise Complaint Report
    • Project Wise Complaint Report

    Link to step 08

  9. Check the unregistered and enforcement lists

    Under HelpDesk the Authority publishes Unregistered projects Under Investigation and a Report Unregistered Project form, and under Services it publishes the orders of the Authority and of the Adjudicating Officer.

    The unregistered list carries PROJECT NAME, PROMOTER NAME, STATUS, CORPORATE ADDRESS and PUBLISHED DATE. It is the list a project lands on when it is being marketed without the registration that section 3(1) of the Act requires first.

    This matters to how you should read our own site. SUYUG has four announced projects — RIME, Dancing Feathers, Synergy at Summit and Kaleidoscope — that are not registered. They are named on this website and they carry no price, no area, no date and no enquiry control, because section 3(1) bars advertising, marketing, booking, selling or inviting purchase in any manner before registration. If you ever find one of them being offered to you with a price attached, the Report Unregistered Project form is the right place to take it, and you should.

    What it is called on the portal

    • HelpDesk
    • Unregistered projects Under Investigation
    • Report Unregistered Project
    • Orders of the Authority
    • Orders of Adjudicating Officer

The worked example

What the register returned for us

Every value below is what the K-RERA project search returned when this guide was checked. It is transcribed, not summarised: if the register says SUYUG THE 1, that is what is printed here, even though nothing else on this website spells it that way.

Registration No (THE1)

Project name

Values set in monospace are transcribed from the portal exactly as it printed them. The rest describe where to go rather than what came back.

Two things are missing from that list on purpose. The first is every date in the completion columns: this website publishes no possession, completion or handover date for any project, anywhere, and a guide is not an exemption from that. Read those columns on the register.

The second is the taluk question the two rows raise between them. THE1 and Saffron are both promoted by SUYUG CONSTRUCTIONS out of Sompura Gate on Sarjapur Road, and the register files them under different taluks. That is not an error to be smoothed over in prose — it is a field to be read on the certificate, where the project's address and the promoter's address are printed separately.

Compare all of it against our registrations page. If a single character differs, the register is right and we are wrong — tell us and we will correct the page against the certificate.

What a result does not prove

The traps, one at a time

A register answers the question it was asked. Most of the damage done with these portals is done by reading an answer as though it had answered a different, larger question — so here is each of those larger questions, and what the portal actually said instead.

A registration that has lapsed still appears

The register is an archive, not a live status light. Every application ever made is still in it, including applications that were rejected, withdrawn, revoked, or whose registration period has simply run out. The counters at the top of the search page say so plainly: Rejected and Withdrawn/Revoked have their own counts and their own downloadable lists.

So finding a project in the register proves that it was registered. It does not prove that the registration is current. That is a comparison you make yourself, from the dates in the row, against today.

A project number is not a promoter number

K-RERA registers three different things, and they have three different registers: real estate projects, real estate agents, and nothing else. There is no such thing as a RERA-registered builder. A promoter with five projects has five registration numbers and no sixth number that vouches for the firm.

This is why the correct check on a promoter is not a number lookup at all — it is the Promoter Wise Complaint Report, plus running each project number separately. And it is why any advertisement that offers you one number as proof of a developer rather than proof of a project is telling you less than it appears to.

The register does not know the brand name

The name in the register is the name on the application. THE1 is SUYUG THE 1 there; Saffron is SUYUG'S SAFFRON. Aggregator listings tend to print neither, and every aggregator page we have checked prints the promoter as Suyug Infra, which is not the name on either certificate.

Search on the number. If you only have a name, search on the promoter name and read down the list, and expect the register's spelling to differ from the hoarding.

Karnataka's register holds nothing about Tamil Nadu

The two registers do not talk to each other. SUYUG's The Big Banyan is in Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu, and is registered with TNRERA — searching K-RERA for it returns nothing, and that nothing means only that you are on the wrong portal.

Whenever a project sits near a state line — and the Sarjapur–Hosur corridor is exactly that — establish which state it is in before you decide which register should hold it.

The validity date and the declared completion period are the same thing

Section 5(3) of the Act ties the two together explicitly: registration is valid for the period the promoter declared under section 4(2)(l)(C) for completing the project. That is why the register's completion columns and its validity behave as one field, and why section 6 extensions move both.

It is also why this site prints registration validity on its registrations page and prints no possession date anywhere. A validity date transcribed off a certificate is a fact about a registration. A possession date offered to a buyer is a promise. They can be the same date and still be two entirely different kinds of statement, and only one of them is ours to make.

The statute behind it

Where the law actually says this

Every claim on this page about what a promoter, an agent or an authority must do is a claim about a statute, so the statute is quoted with its citation attached. Where we are confident of the section but have not read the wording from a primary text in this pass, the section is cited and not quoted, and that difference is marked.

The statute’s own words

No promoter shall advertise, market, book, sell or offer for sale, or invite persons to purchase in any manner any plot, apartment or building, as the case may be, in any real estate project or part of it, in any planning area, without registering the real estate project with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority established under this Act
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — section 3(1)Quoted to the end of the first limb; two provisos follow in the Act. This is the section behind the Authority's unregistered-projects list, and behind the fact that SUYUG's four announced projects carry no price, area or date on this website.

The statute’s own words

The registration granted under this section shall be valid for a period declared by the promoter under sub-clause (C) of clause (l) of sub-section (2) of section 4 for completion of the project or phase thereof, as the case may be.
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — section 5(3)The link between a registration's validity and the completion period the promoter declared on affidavit.

The statute’s own words

The registration granted under section 5 may be extended by the Authority on an application made by the promoter due to force majeure, in such form and on payment of such fee as may be specified by regulations made by the Authority
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — section 6A proviso allows the Authority to extend a registration in reasonable circumstances without default by the promoter, for a time which shall in aggregate not exceed a period of one year. This is the power named in the register's SECTION 6 EXTENSION DATE column.

The statute’s own words

The advertisement or prospectus issued or published by the promoter shall mention prominently the website address of the Authority, wherein all details of the registered project have been entered and include the registration number obtained from the Authority and such other matters incidental thereto.
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — section 11(2)Why a registration number and the Authority's address belong on a promoter's own pages — and why an advertisement carrying neither is worth a second look.

The statute’s own words

Any aggrieved person may file a complaint with the Authority or the adjudicating officer, as the case may be, for any violation or contravention of the provisions of this Act or the rules and regulations made thereunder
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — section 31(1)Quoted to the end of the operative clause. The complaint registers you can search on the portal are the record of these filings.

The statute’s own words

No real estate agent shall facilitate the sale or purchase of or act on behalf of any person to facilitate the sale or purchase of any plot, apartment or building, as the case may be, in a real estate project or part of it, being the part of the real estate project registered under section 3, being sold by the promoter in any planning area, without obtaining registration under this section.
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — section 9(1)The reason the portal keeps a separate agent register under Services, Agent Status. If a broker is selling you a registered project, the broker needs a registration too.

Cited, not quoted

The section is named so you can read it yourself. The wording is not reproduced here, because we have not transcribed it from a primary text in this pass and a paraphrase in quotation marks is worse than no quotation.

  • The Authority's power to make the register public, to receive complaints and to publish its orders is part of its statutory function, not a courtesy.

    Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — sections 32 to 34

  • Karnataka's procedural detail — the forms, the fees and the manner of application behind everything on this portal — is prescribed by the state rules made under the Act.

    Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017

Terms used above are defined on the glossary, with the statutory wording wherever a statute defines them.

The honest gap

What we could not check, and therefore left out

A walkthrough that quietly skips the parts its author could not reach is the exact failure this section exists to prevent. These are the things we did not verify on the date at the top of this page, listed rather than smoothed over.

  • The meaning of the individual segments inside a K-RERA registration number. The number is transcribed and searched as one string; the Authority publishes no key to its parts that we have read, so this guide does not tell you what 1251 or 310 stand for.

  • Whether every column on the results row is populated for every project. On the two SUYUG rows several extension columns were empty, and an empty cell means nothing was entered — not that nothing happened.

Keep going

The other two registers

Then bring the numbers to us

Every registration this site publishes is on the registrations page, with the regulator, the promoter as registered, the survey numbers and the validity date transcribed from the certificate. Read it after you have read the register, not before.
