RERA in Assam — Registration Lookup, Complaints & 2026

RERA Assam: Assam RERA is headquartered in Guwahati, the commercial capital of Northeast India. Key risk: Brahmaputra floodplain exposure in low-lying Guwahati zones. Filing fee: ₹1,000. Disposal: 7–12 months.

What is Assam RERA

Assam RERA was constituted in 2018 and is headquartered in Guwahati. The authority covers the entire state with most residential activity in Guwahati, which is the commercial capital of Northeast India.

Guwahati's residential growth is concentrated along VIP Road, GS Road, Dispur (state capital), Beltola, Hatigaon, and the Basistha corridor. As the gateway city for Northeast India, Guwahati attracts buyers from the entire NE region. Assam RERA enforcement has been strengthening since 2021.

Assam RERA portal & verification steps

The official portal is reraassam.nic.in ↗. Six-step verification:

1. Visit the portal and click "Registered Projects".
2. Search by project name (partial match works) or paste the full registration number.
3. Verify registration date, validity (proposed completion), promoter PAN, sanctioned plan PDF, Form-3 CA certificate.
4. Click "Quarterly Updates" — confirm the most recent QPR is within the last 90 days. Older = red flag.
5. Check "Complaints" tab for any pending or disposed complaints against the project.
6. Cross-verify the promoter on the relevant sub-registrar portal for title-deed chain.

Always verify on the official .gov.in domain — never trust a builder microsite, broker WhatsApp forward, or any third-party "RERA-approved" claim.

Notable Assam RERA cases & enforcement

Assam RERA registration number format

The RERA Assam registration number follows the pattern ASRERA/{district}/{year}/{serial}. Example: ASRERA/GHY/2022/00234.
