What it covers

What a K-RERA registration of a project covers

Written by a promoter that holds two of them. A registration number is worth having and worth checking — but a buyer who reads it as the state having inspected and approved the building has read it as something it has never been, and will skip the checks that would actually protect them.

What this page says

In one paragraph

A K-RERA registration establishes that a project has been registered with the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority, that the promoter has filed the particulars the Act requires, and that the buyer has a statutory forum for complaints. It is not a state inspection of construction quality, not a guarantee of the promoter's finances, not proof of clear title, and not a planning sanction.

Whose page this is

Written by a promoter the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority covers

Which is the only reason it is worth reading. A promoter explaining that its own registration proves less than a reader assumes is making an argument against its own convenience.

SUYUG holds two registrations with the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority and publishes both, field by field, elsewhere on this site. This page is written from inside that position rather than about it.

The point of writing it is not to diminish the regime. It gave buyers a public register and a statutory forum they did not have before, and both are worth having. The point is that a registration number is doing work it was never designed to do. A buyer who reads it as the state having inspected the building will skip a structural survey. A buyer who reads it as a certificate of title will not pay an advocate to search one. Both of those readings are common, both are wrong, and both leave the buyer less protected than the Act intended — including against the promoter who showed them the number.

So the two lists below are deliberately the same length, and the second is the useful one.

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.
Section 3(1), Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016The provision that makes registration a precondition of marketing at all. Everything on this page is measured against it rather than against our description of it.

The register itself is published by the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority at rera.karnataka.gov.in. The numbers this company holds are set out field by field on the registration table.

9 things it establishes

What a K-RERA registration of a project does establish

The regime taken seriously and at length, before any limitation is stated. Each point names the provision it rests on; where the provision is quoted, it is quoted verbatim, and where it is described, the description is ours and is labelled as ours.

The project is on a public register, searchable by number

Established

Registration produces a number, and the number is the search key to a public record maintained by the authority. Anyone can search it, without asking the promoter and without identifying themselves. That is the thing a brochure can never give a reader: a version of the project's particulars that the promoter does not control.

Sections 3 and 5, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Section 3 makes registration a precondition of marketing; section 5 governs the grant of registration and the issue of a registration number. The section wording is for you to read in the bare Act — this is our statement of what they do.

A defined set of particulars was filed with the authority

Established

Registration is granted on an application that has to carry the documents the Act specifies — approvals and the sanctioned plan, the layout and the specifications, the proforma of the allotment letter and of the agreement for sale, and a declaration on oath from the promoter about legal title to the land and about encumbrances on it. What the registration establishes is that the filing was made. It does not establish that its contents were audited, and the distinction is the whole of this page.

Section 4, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Cited to the section rather than to a lettered sub-clause, because the lettering is a thing to confirm against the bare Act rather than take from a promoter's website.

Money taken from buyers is subject to the separate-account rule

Established

The Act requires a proportion of the amounts realised from allottees for a project — seventy per cent — to be deposited in a separate account and used only to cover the cost of construction and the cost of land for that project. It is written into the primary Act rather than set by notification, which is why the proportion is stated here rather than pointed at. It is a control on where your money goes; it is not a guarantee that the project will finish.

Section 4, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016The separate-account requirement sits in the declaration the promoter files under section 4. Read the sub-clause in the bare Act.

No large advance without a registered agreement for sale

Established

This is the provision a buyer can use on the day it matters, and it is quoted verbatim on this page rather than described. Until the written agreement for sale exists and is registered, a promoter may not take more than the threshold the section sets. Everything you were told across a sales desk is worth what the registered agreement says and nothing more.

The statute’s own words

A promoter shall not accept a sum more than ten per cent. of the cost of the apartment, plot, or building as the case may be, as an advance payment or an application fee, from a person without first entering into a written agreement for sale with such person and register the said agreement for sale, under any law for the time being in force.
Section 13(1), Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016

The promoter is under continuing disclosure duties, not a one-off filing

Established

Registration is not a certificate collected once and framed. The Act puts the promoter under duties that run for the life of the project, including keeping the authority's own page for the project updated with the progress of the work. That is why the register is worth returning to rather than checking once: what it shows should change, and a page that has not changed is itself information.

Section 11, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Our statement of the section's effect, not its words.

An advertisement carries statutory consequences for the promoter

Established

The Act attaches liability to what a promoter publishes: a person who makes an advance or a deposit on the strength of an incorrect statement in an advertisement or prospectus, and sustains a loss, has a remedy against the promoter under the Act. It is the reason this site publishes no price, no delivery date and no return figure — not caution for its own sake, but that an advertised claim is a claim the promoter is answerable for.

Section 12, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Our statement of the section's effect, not its words.

There is a statutory forum for a complaint, and it is not the promoter

Established

A person aggrieved may complain to the authority, and there is an appellate tribunal above it. The forum exists whether or not the promoter cooperates, and it does not run through the promoter's grievance desk. For a buyer this is the practical difference registration makes: a dispute has somewhere to go that is not a civil suit and not a customer-service email.

Sections 31 and 43, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Our statement of the sections' effect. The procedure, the form and the fee are set by Karnataka's rules under the Act and by the authority's own regulations, not by this page.

Defects notified after handover have a statutory rectification duty

Established

The Act gives an allottee a defined period, running from handover, in which a structural defect or a defect in workmanship, quality or provision of services brought to the promoter's notice must be rectified without further charge. That is a remedy that exists after the fact. It is not an inspection, and it is not a warranty that the defect will not occur.

Section 14, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Our statement of the section's effect, not its words.

The registration itself runs for a period, and can be extended or revoked

Established

A registration is granted for a period, may be extended on the grounds the Act allows, and may be revoked by the authority. The period is a fact about the registration and about nothing else — this site publishes no delivery commitment for any project, and the validity row on our own records carries that warning printed beside it.

Sections 6 and 7, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016Our statement of the sections' effect, not their words.

9 things it does not

What a K-RERA registration of a project does not establish

Deliberately the same length as the list above it, and the useful one. Every item here is something buyers routinely believe a registration number has settled for them, and each of those beliefs replaces a check that would have protected them.

It is not a state inspection of the construction

Not established

No engineer from the authority walked the site, tested the concrete or opened a shuttering drawing before the number was issued. Registration is a filing and disclosure regime; construction quality is addressed later and differently, through the promoter's duty to build to the sanctioned plan and through the rectification duty for defects notified after handover. If you want the building inspected, you commission the inspection.

It is not a certificate of clear title to the land

Not established

The promoter files a declaration about legal title and encumbrances. A declaration is a statement made by the person who benefits from it, on oath; it is not an adjudication of title by the authority, and the authority does not conduct one. The title search, the encumbrance certificate and the reading of the parent deeds are your advocate's work, and a registration number does not shorten that work by a day.

It is not a building plan sanction or a planning approval

Not established

Registering a project with the authority and getting a plan sanctioned by the competent planning authority are separate acts, under separate laws, done by different bodies. The registration file may well contain the sanction — the Act requires approvals to be filed — but the registration NUMBER does not prove one, and a project can hold either without the other. Ask for the sanctioned plan itself and read whose seal is on it.

It is not permission to occupy the finished building

Not established

That is the occupancy certificate: a different document, issued by a different authority, at the far end of the project. A registration number says nothing about whether a completed building may lawfully be lived in, and the two are routinely conflated in conversation because both are described as approvals.

It is not a statement about the promoter's finances

Not established

The authority does not certify that a promoter can pay for what it has undertaken. The separate-account rule constrains where money realised from a project may go, which is a real protection and a narrow one. It is not a credit rating, and there is nothing in a registration number that tells you whether the promoter is solvent.

The registration period is not a delivery commitment

Not established

The date a registration runs to is the outer edge of a period the authority granted. It is read off the register by third parties and republished as a handover commitment, which is the commonest way a false date about a project enters circulation. It is not one, and a promoter that has not published a delivery commitment has not made one — whatever a listing site has printed beside its name.

The authority has not approved the brochure

Not established

Nothing in a promoter's marketing material is checked by the regulator before publication. The Act gives you a remedy afterwards if you relied on an incorrect statement and lost by it; a remedy afterwards is not the same as somebody having read it beforehand, and the difference is invisible to a buyer holding a glossy folder with a registration number printed inside the back cover.

It is not a rating, a ranking or a quality mark

Not established

There is no score in the Act. Registration is binary — a project is registered or it is not — and a registered project is not thereby a good project, a well-built project or a well-priced one. Any comparison between two registered projects has to be made on something other than the fact that both are registered.

It does not cover a phase or a tower the number was not issued for

Not established

A registration attaches to the project as registered, and a development may be registered in phases. The question to ask is not whether the development is registered but whether the number covers the specific phase, tower or block you are buying into. Read the registered particulars for the answer rather than accepting the number as a blanket.

The checks it does not replace

What to do, given all of that

Not a warning list. These are the checks a registration number is often mistaken for, which means they are the checks a reader who over-read the number has already skipped.

  1. 01

    Search the number on the authority's own portal, not on a listing site

    Type the address into the browser yourself and search the whole string, every slash included. Dozens of sites reprint registration numbers and none of them is the record. This site publishes a walkthrough of that search using its own registrations as the worked example, which is the only form of walkthrough worth publishing: following it would catch us out.

  2. 02

    Read the registered agreement for sale, not the brochure

    The carpet area, the payment schedule, the specification and the consequences of delay are terms of that document. They are enforceable because they are in it. Nothing said at a sales desk survives contact with a registered agreement that says otherwise.

  3. 03

    Commission your own title search

    Your advocate, not ours, and the encumbrance certificate and parent deeds read in full rather than summarised. The promoter's declaration on oath is filed with the authority and is worth knowing about; it is not a substitute for a search made on your behalf by somebody who acts for you.

  4. 04

    Ask for the sanctioned plan and the commencement certificate together

    And check that the plan you are shown is the plan the certificate refers to. Construction ahead of what was sanctioned is a deviation, and a deviation is the buyer's problem at resale rather than the promoter's.

  5. 05

    Ask which phase the registration covers, in writing

    A one-line answer in an email is a document. A number quoted in a conversation is not, and the difference matters when the phase you bought into turns out to have been registered separately or not yet.

  6. 06

    Ask for the occupancy certificate before you accept the keys

    By name, for the tower or phase you are buying into, and ask whether it is full or partial. A certificate issued for a different block is not yours. This site keeps a page on that document alone, because it is the one a buyer is likeliest to be told about rather than shown.

Applied to us

What this company's own record under the K-RERA looks like

Including what is thin about it. A page arguing that a registration proves less than a reader assumes has to be willing to say the same about its own.

SUYUG holds two registrations with this authority. Both are published on this site with the promoter as named on the certificate, the land as registered, the date of grant and the period the registration runs to — four fields that were absent from every aggregator page checked while this site was built.

The promoter named on both certificates is not the brand this site trades under. That is stated plainly rather than smoothed over, because a reader who searches the register by promoter and meets a name they have not seen concludes they are looking at a different company.

What this site does not publish for either project is a price, a delivery date or a return figure. Two of those are barred by the rules this page has just described; the third is a choice.

Check it without asking us

The numbers are on the registration table, each one also has its own record on the verification pages, and a walkthrough of the search itself — what to look for rather than which button to press — is in the guides. Following any of them would catch this company out if a value on the register stopped matching a value here, which is the point of publishing them.

Questions

The questions this page exists to answer

Each answer below is the string the page's structured data publishes. There is no shortened version written for a machine.

Does K-RERA registration mean the government has checked the building?

No. A K-RERA registration means the project has been registered with the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority and that the promoter has filed the particulars and declarations the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 requires. Nobody from the authority inspects the construction as a condition of registration. Construction quality is addressed separately — by the promoter's duty to build to the sanctioned plan, and by the statutory duty to rectify defects notified after handover.

Does a RERA number prove the project has clear title?

No. The promoter files a declaration on oath about legal title and encumbrances, and that declaration is part of the registration file. The authority does not adjudicate title, and a registration number is not a certificate of title. An independent title search and a reading of the encumbrance certificate by your own advocate remain necessary.

Is RERA registration the same as a building plan sanction?

No. Registration under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 and sanction of a building plan or layout by the competent planning authority are separate acts under separate laws, granted by different bodies. A project can hold one without the other. Ask to see the sanctioned plan and the commencement certificate as documents, rather than treating the registration number as proof of them.

Does the validity date on a RERA registration tell me when I get my home?

No. The validity date is the date the registration itself runs to — a period granted by the authority. It is not a handover commitment and it is not a delivery date. SUYUG publishes no possession, handover or completion date for any project, so any such date attributed to a SUYUG project came from somewhere other than SUYUG.

What is the strongest thing a RERA registration gives a buyer?

A public record the promoter does not control, and a statutory forum for a complaint that does not run through the promoter. Anyone can search the registration number on the authority's own portal without asking the promoter, and a person aggrieved can complain to the authority with an appellate tribunal above it.
