Post-Project RERA Registration Compliances – A Detailed Guide

Obtaining your RERA registration approval is a major achievement – but the real work begins after registration. Post-registration compliance is crucial to keep your project legally secure, avoid penalties, and maintain buyer confidence. Here’s a step-by-step detailed guide to everything you need to do after RERA registration.

1. Quarterly Updates – Mandatory Project Disclosures

RERA requires developers to upload quarterly updates on the RERA portal within 15 days of every quarter’s end.

What you must disclose:

• Construction progress with clear photographs
• Status of approvals and permissions obtained
• Units sold vs. unsold inventory
• Financial details – amount collected from buyers and amount utilized

Why it matters: These updates maintain transparency and assure buyers about project progress.

2. Annual Filing – Form 5 CA Certificate

Every registered project must submit a yearly audit report, also known as Form 5, certified by a Chartered Accountant.

Key requirements:

• File within 6 months from the end of the financial year
• Certification must confirm that 70% of collections have been used only for land and construction cost
• Maintains compliance with RERA’s financial safeguards

3. Project Extension – Apply Before Expiry

If your project cannot be completed within the registered timeline, you must apply for an extension before registration expires.

Steps to apply:

• Submit extension application on RERA portal
• Pay required fees
• Attach valid reason for delay with supporting documents (e.g., force majeure, government approvals pending)

Failing to extend in time may result in revocation of registration.

4. Ongoing Obligations – Stay Compliant Throughout

• Always display RERA registration number on brochures, websites, and advertisements
• Maintain project records and books of accounts
• Respond to allottee queries and complaints in a timely manner
• Keep documentation ready for inspection by RERA authority

5. Penalties for Non-Compliance

Non-compliance can attract severe consequences:

• Fines: Up to 5–10% of project cost depending on violation
• Revocation: Registration can be cancelled by RERA
• Legal action: Buyers can file complaints leading to compensation claims
• Public listing: Non-compliance is visible on the RERA website, affecting reputation
