RERA Registered Projects in Hyderabad: Why It Matters and How to Verify
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, commonly known as RERA, was introduced in India in 2016 to protect homebuyers from builder defaults, misleading advertisements, and Projects in Hyderabad delays that had plagued the sector for decades. In Telangana, RERA is administered by the Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TS RERA), and its impact on buyer protection has been significant. For anyone purchasing Projects in Hyderabad — whether under construction or a new launch — buying a RERA-registered project is not optional; it is essential. This guide explains why.
What Does RERA Registration Actually Protect You From?
RERA registration creates a legal framework of accountability that simply did not exist before 2016. Here is what RERA specifically protects buyers from:
Builder default on carpet area: Builders must sell on carpet area (the actual usable area inside walls), not the inflated super built-up area that was previously used to make prices appear lower than they were.
Project delays: Builders must register the RERA completion date and must compensate buyers with interest (at SBI MCLR + 2%) for every month of delay if the project is not delivered on time.
Fund diversion: Builders must deposit 70% of buyer payments into a dedicated RERA escrow account that can only be used for that specific project’s construction — preventing the diversion of buyer funds to new projects that was a common cause of stalled projects.
Misleading advertising: Any advertisement, brochure, or promise not registered with RERA can be legally challenged by buyers.
How to Verify a Project’s RERA Registration in Hyderabad
Verifying RERA registration is simple and free. Visit the TS RERA portal at rera.telangana.gov.in. Click on Projects in Hyderabad and enter the project name, builder name, or RERA registration number. The portal will show the Projects in Hyderabad registered status, registered carpet area, completion date, and the promoter’s track record of past projects.
Always ask the builder for their RERA registration number before visiting a site. Any legitimate RERA-registered project will have this number prominently displayed on all marketing materials and at the sales office. If a builder cannot provide a RERA registration number, walk away.

What RERA Does NOT Cover
RERA registration is not a guarantee that the project will be delivered on time or that it will be problem-free. RERA provides a legal remedy when things go wrong — it does not prevent them from going wrong.
RERA does not cover: completed and already-registered properties (only new projects and Projects in Hyderabad under construction at the time of RERA implementation), individual resale transactions between buyers, or plotted development layouts below 500 square metres.
For these categories, buyers must rely on independent legal due diligence — title verification, EC checks, and approval verification — conducted by a qualified property lawyer.
What to Do if a RERA-Registered Builder Delays Your Project
If your RERA-registered builder delays possession beyond the registered completion date, you have two options under RERA. You can continue with the project and claim interest compensation at SBI MCLR + 2% per annum for each month of delay, payable at the time of possession. Or you can withdraw from the Projects in Hyderabad entirely and claim a full refund of all amounts paid, along with interest.
Complaints are filed at the TS RERA portal. The authority typically provides hearing dates within 30–60 days and has the power to direct builders to pay compensation, freeze Projects in Hyderabad accounts, and in extreme cases, delist the project and the promoter from RERA.
Hyderabad has seen several high-profile RERA cases result in buyers receiving compensation and refunds — the system works when properly utilised.
RERA and NRI Buyers: Additional Protection
For Non-Resident Indian (NRI) buyers investing in Hyderabad property from abroad, RERA provides particularly valuable protection. The ability to monitor project progress, raise complaints, and receive legally mandated compensation online — without needing to be physically present in India — makes RERA a crucial safeguard for the significant NRI investment community in Hyderabad.
