RERA Compliance Verification Guide — How to Check RERA Status State by State 2026

20 May 2026 · 3 min read

How to verify RERA registration, Form A/B disclosures, QPR filings, and escrow compliance for residential projects across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and UP.

RERA Compliance Verification Guide 2026

RERA registration is a legal requirement, not a quality signal. A project can be RERA-registered and still have serious compliance gaps — incomplete Form A disclosures, missing QPR filings, or an underfunded escrow account. This guide shows you exactly what to check, state by state.

Step 1: Find the correct state RERA portal

RERA is administered state-by-state. Always use the official government URL, not third-party aggregators which may show stale data:

  • Karnataka: rera.karnataka.gov.in
  • Maharashtra (MahaRERA): maharera.mahaonline.gov.in
  • Telangana: rera.telangana.gov.in
  • Tamil Nadu: rera.tn.gov.in
  • Haryana (HRERA): haryanarera.gov.in
  • Uttar Pradesh: up-rera.in
  • Delhi: rera.delhi.gov.in
  • Gujarat (GujRERA): gujrera.gujarat.gov.in

Brickplot tracks RERA data directly from Karnataka and Maharashtra portals, with partial coverage for Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, and UP.

Step 2: Verify Form A is filed and complete

Form A is the project registration document. A compliant Form A must include:

  • Project layout — sanctioned plan showing all towers, parking, and open space
  • Land title documents — sale deed, conversion order, encumbrance certificate
  • Unit count and carpet areas per flat type
  • Estimated possession date (this becomes the binding contractual commitment)
  • Promoter and group company details

An incomplete Form A — missing layout or title documents — means the builder has not met minimum RERA disclosure requirements. Avoid until complete.

Step 3: Check Form B QPR filings are current

Form B is the Quarterly Progress Report, filed by the 7th of the month following each quarter (April, July, October, January). It must declare:

  • Construction completion percentage for the current quarter
  • Current construction phase (excavation, foundation, superstructure, finishing)
  • Funds received and funds utilised
  • Any deviations from the original approved plan

A project with no Form B update in more than 90 days is in RERA default. This is public record. Brickplot's Construction Progress Tracker surfaces stale QPR flags for all Karnataka projects.

Step 4: Verify the escrow account (Form F)

Under RERA Section 4(2)(l)(D), builders must deposit 70% of all collected funds into a separate designated escrow account and only withdraw against certified construction progress. Form F shows the escrow bank, account number, and latest balance. Request the escrow statement and compare the balance against the project's completion percentage:

  • Project 50% complete → escrow should hold at least 30–35% of total project cost
  • Escrow balance far below expected = funds diverted outside legal channels

Step 5: Check complaints filed on the portal

Every state RERA portal shows complaints registered against the project and the builder. Aggregate complaint count is visible on the project detail page. What to look for:

  • Multiple complaints citing possession delay beyond 12 months
  • Complaints about quality defects or specification misrepresentation
  • Complaints filed and settled — shows history but resolution
  • Complaints filed and unresolved for 12+ months — suggests systemic deficiency

State-specific compliance differences

Karnataka (KA-RERA): One of India's stronger portals — QPR data is machine-readable, escrow balance visible, complaints searchable. Brickplot has direct scraper coverage. MahaRERA: Most mature — Form A and Form B are downloadable as PDFs, CA-certified financials are public. Telangana: Portal was significantly updated in 2025; some QPR data unavailable for older projects. Haryana (HRERA): Two separate authorities (Gurugram and Panchkula) — verify which jurisdiction covers your project. UP RERA: Functional for project search; bulk QPR data extraction limited.

Common RERA red flags

  • Status shows "Revoked" — RERA registration has been cancelled by the authority
  • Status shows "Extended" with 3+ extensions — persistent possession delay
  • Form A shows "Agricultural" land without conversion order — illegal to develop as residential
  • Form B last updated 12+ months ago on an active project
  • Builder name in Form A differs from the entity in the sale agreement — verify which entity is the registered promoter

RERA compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. A fully RERA-compliant project can still have a weak title, poor build quality, or a builder under financial stress. Always cross-check with Brickplot's full 11-axis score for a complete picture.
