RERA in Bihar — Registration Lookup, Complaints & 2026

RERA Bihar: BiharRERA is the Bihar Real Estate Regulatory Authority in Patna. Filing fee: ₹1,000. Bihar-specific risks: land record digitisation gaps (verify on Bihar Bhumi portal) and Patna flood-zone exposure. Disposal: 9–16 months.

What is Bihar RERA

Bihar RERA (BiharRERA) was constituted in 2017 and is headquartered in Patna. The authority primarily covers Patna's residential market with smaller active markets in Muzaffarpur, Gaya, and Bhagalpur.

Patna's residential growth has accelerated significantly along Bailey Road, Boring Road, Rajendra Nagar, Kankarbagh, Anisabad, and the NH-30 / Danapur corridor. BiharRERA has been developing its enforcement capacity and has increased QPR compliance monitoring from 2022.

Bihar RERA portal & verification steps

The official portal is rera.bihar.gov.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.

How to file a RERA complaint in Bihar

Filing fee: ₹1,000 per complaint.

1. Register on the BiharRERA portal as a complainant. KYC with Aadhaar + PAN.
2. Pay the filing fee through the portal payment gateway.
3. Upload the complaint with allotment letter, sale agreement, all payment receipts, and the builder's possession commitment letter.
4. The Authority issues notice to the promoter — typically within 30–60 days.
5. Hearings scheduled at the BiharRERA office or via video conference.
6. Order issued — statutory target 60 days, in practice longer.

Notable Bihar RERA cases & enforcement

• BiharRERA issued several Section-18 orders on Patna Bailey Road and Boring Road apartment projects (2022–2024).
• Multiple Patna builder projects received QPR non-filing notices in 2023.
• BiharRERA has been active on pre-launch advertising compliance for Patna peripheral plotted developments.

Bihar RERA registration number format

The BiharRERA registration number follows the pattern BIHRERA-{year}-{serial}. Example: BIHRERA-2022-00678.

Always paste the FULL alphanumeric string into the portal search box — partial matches frequently fail. Treat any project listed only with a "RERA approved" tag and no actual number as unregistered until proven otherwise.

Bihar-specific quirks every buyer must know

• Bihar land records (Jamabandi / Dakhil Kharij) have historically had digitisation gaps — extra-careful title verification is essential.
• Patna flooding risk is a critical factor for ground-floor and basement units; verify the project's flood-zone status in the sale agreement.
• BiharRERA institutional capacity is growing but remains below major-state RERAs.
• Disposal pace: 9–16 months for routine complaints.
