Karnataka RERA Registration Process

Bengaluru is one of the markets which saw a quick recovery despite the challenges brought in by the pandemic. This makes it an imminent location for real estate investments. The increasing property transaction makes it necessary to establish a regulatory body. Thus, the government has introduced the Karnataka Real Estate Rules, 2017 and the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (KRERA). The main purpose of this Act is to ensure transparency, financial disciple, and accountability. The Act also aims to protect the rights and interests of homebuyers. The regulatory authority is constituted to prevent wrongdoings and miscreants in the real estate sector. 

The RERA rule of Karnataka mandates the registration of every project and its promoters, real estate agent, and builder. The registration needs to be completed even before it is opened to the common public. In a recent announcement made by the regulatory authority, providing the RERA registration number and the registered name of the landowner in the advertisement has also been mandated. 

The Act has also mandated the builders to submit a self-declaration affidavit providing details regarding the completion of the project. It also needs to be inspected and verified by on-site inspectors. This article will deal with all the necessary details regarding the RERA Act and RERA rules of Karnataka.

Bottom Line

The establishment of RERA has been a major step in ensuring transparency in real estate transactions. In case of any grievances, the RERA authority also provides quick redressal. To avoid any form of problems in your property transaction, it is recommended that you choose a property that is already registered under RERA as they can be more authenticated. However, they cannot be 100% safe. Thus it is recommended that you carry out a thorough inspection by hiring professionals and verifying all the relevant details and documents of your transaction.
