How to check if a Bangalore property is RERA registered

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) registration is mandatory for most residential projects in India above a certain size. Skipping this check is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes buyers make.

Step 1: Get the RERA registration number

Every legitimate builder should be able to give you the project's RERA registration number on request. It's also usually printed on brochures, ads and the builder's website — if it's missing, that's already a red flag.

Step 2: Verify it on the Karnataka RERA portal

Karnataka's RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) lets you search by the registration number or project name. Confirm the project name, builder name, promised completion date and total units match what you've been told.

Step 3: Check the project status and any complaints

The portal also shows project status updates and any complaints filed against the builder. A builder with multiple unresolved complaints across projects is a serious warning sign, regardless of how good this specific project looks.

What if a project isn't RERA registered?

Some very small projects or plot developments are legitimately exempt. But for any apartment project above the threshold, no registration is a major risk — you lose RERA's legal protections around delays, quality and refunds entirely. Ask the builder directly why, in writing.

On MatchMyGhar, verified listings are checked before going live — but for under-construction and new-launch projects specifically, always independently verify RERA status yourself before making any payment.
