RERA Rules for Property Buyers: What Every Homebuyer Should Know
Blog
March 16, 2026
Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions a person can make, and for many years buyers faced challenges such as project delays, unclear documentation, and lack of transparency from developers. To protect buyers and bring accountability to the real estate sector, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) was introduced. This law ensures that property buyers receive accurate information, timely delivery, and protection against unfair practices in the real estate market.
At Iska Realty, we believe that understanding RERA rules helps buyers make safer and more confident property decisions. The act requires developers to register their projects with the RERA authority, disclose complete project details, and follow strict guidelines regarding construction timelines and financial transparency. By ensuring these rules are followed, RERA creates a more trustworthy and organized environment for property transactions.
A well-informed buyer is always a confident buyer — and RERA was designed to ensure exactly that.

Mandatory Project Registration
Under RERA, developers must register their residential or commercial projects with the state RERA authority before selling any units. This registration requires builders to disclose essential details such as project approvals, land ownership, layout plans, and expected completion dates. Buyers can access this information through official RERA portals, which increases transparency and helps them verify whether a project is legally approved.
Protection Against Project Delays
One of the major benefits of RERA is that it protects buyers from unexpected project delays. If a developer fails to deliver the property within the promised timeline, buyers may be eligible for compensation or even a refund depending on the circumstances. This rule encourages developers to maintain realistic timelines and ensures that buyers are not left waiting indefinitely for their property.
