RERA in Telangana — Registration Lookup, Complaints & 2026
RERA Telangana: TS-RERA is the Telangana State Real Estate Regulatory Authority headquartered in Hyderabad. It charges ₹1,000 per complaint and has registered over 9,000 projects. Verify Hyderabad projects on rera.telangana.gov.in and separately confirm HMDA approval and GO 111 status.
What is Telangana RERA
TS-RERA was constituted on 4 August 2017 and headquartered in Hyderabad. Telangana implemented RERA later than Maharashtra and Karnataka, and the authority's enforcement intensity is moderate compared to MahaRERA — but Hyderabad's explosive 2020–2024 residential growth has pushed TS-RERA registrations past 9,000 projects.
For Hyderabad buyers, TS-RERA is essential because the western corridor (Gachibowli–Kokapet–Narsingi) saw rapid pre-launch advertising in 2021–2023, much of which preceded valid RERA registration. TS-RERA began publishing project-specific compliance status more aggressively from 2024 onwards.
Telangana RERA portal & verification steps
The official portal is rera.telangana.gov.in ↗. Six-step verification:
- Visit the portal and click "Registered Projects".
- Search by project name (partial match works) or paste the full registration number.
- Verify registration date, validity (proposed completion), promoter PAN, sanctioned plan PDF, Form-3 CA certificate.
- Click "Quarterly Updates" — confirm the most recent QPR is within the last 90 days. Older = red flag.
- Check "Complaints" tab for any pending or disposed complaints against the project.
- 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 Telangana
Filing fee: ₹1,000 per complaint.
- Register on the TS-RERA portal as a complainant. KYC with Aadhaar + PAN.
- Pay the filing fee through the portal payment gateway.
- Upload the complaint with allotment letter, sale agreement, all payment receipts, and the builder's possession commitment letter.
- The Authority issues notice to the promoter — typically within 30–60 days.
- Hearings scheduled at the TS-RERA office or via video conference.
- Order issued — statutory target 60 days, in practice longer.
Notable Telangana RERA cases & enforcement
- TS-RERA has issued multiple Section-18 refund orders against mid-tier Hyderabad developers in the Kompally and LB Nagar belts (2022–2024).
- A wave of pre-launch advertising complaints in the Kokapet / Narsingi corridor in 2023 led TS-RERA to issue cease-and-desist notices.
- TS-RERA has flagged repeated QPR non-filing on a small set of stalled projects in Shamshabad / RR District.
Telangana RERA registration number format
The TS-RERA registration number follows the pattern P{2-digit district}{7-digit serial}. Example: P02400001234.
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.
Telangana-specific quirks every buyer must know
- TS-RERA registration does NOT cover HMDA / GHMC layout approval — Hyderabad plotted layouts must show both.
- Telangana-specific GO 111 (Osman Sagar / Himayat Sagar catchment) overrides RERA — projects in this zone may be RERA-registered but legally unbuildable.
- TS-RERA accepts only Telangana-scheduled bank escrow accounts.
- Hyderabad municipal Occupancy Certificate (OC) is a separate state matter; TS-RERA does not enforce OC issuance.
- TS-RERA QPR enforcement was sporadic until 2023 — historical QPR data on older projects can be incomplete.
Top complained-against builders in Telangana

- Aparna Constructions (selective) — A subset of projects in Kompally / Nallagandla have appeared on the TS-RERA possession-delay roster.
- Janapriya Engineers — Frequently appearing in TS-RERA possession-delay listings on older projects.
- Modi Builders (selective) — A handful of Secunderabad-area projects with QPR-delay flags.
