How to Check RERA Registration in Haryana
Before you pay a booking amount for a new flat in Gurugram, check that the project is registered with the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Gurugram, usually shortened to HRERA or HARERA Gurugram. Haryana has two authorities, one in Gurugram and one in Panchkula, and Gurugram projects are registered with the Gurugram bench. This guide shows where to look and what each part of the record tells you.
What RERA is and why it matters
RERA is the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, a national law. Each state sets up its own authorities and rules. Haryana's are the Haryana Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017, and HRERA Gurugram adds its own regulations and directions.
Under section 3 of the Act, a promoter (the builder or developer) may not advertise, market, book or sell flats in a project until it is registered. Small projects are exempt: land of up to 500 square metres, or no more than eight apartments, counting all phases together. Each phase of a phased project needs its own registration.
Registration brings duties that protect buyers:
- Advertisements must carry the registration number and the authority's website address.
- A promoter cannot take more than 10% of the cost as an advance before a written agreement for sale is signed and registered.
- 70% of the money collected from buyers must go into a separate bank account and be spent only on that project's land and construction.
- The promoter must keep the project's public record up to date.
How to look up a project
- Open haryanarera.gov.in. The first page offers three portals: Appellate Tribunal, HRERA Panchkula and HRERA Gurugram. Click "HRERA Gurugram".
- In the Projects section of the Gurugram home page, click "Registered Projects".
- The page lists every project registered with the Gurugram authority. Type a project name, builder, sector or registration number into the "Search" box above the table. No login or captcha is needed.
- Read across the row. It shows the registration certificate number, project ID, project name, builder, location, the "Registration Up-to" date, and links to the certificate, the project details, quarterly progress, monitoring orders and any occupation or completion certificate.
- Click the project ID for the "Comprehensive Project Details" page. It shows the promoter, the status of the registration application and the authority's hearing notes.
The "Builder" column names the legal entity that registered the project. It is often a group company or partner firm rather than the brand you see in advertisements, so match it to the seller in your agreement.
What the registration number looks like
HRERA Gurugram registration certificate numbers carry the date they were issued, for example GGM/1078/810/2026/50 dated 03.07.2026. Projects registered in 2017 and 2018 have shorter numbers such as 223 of 2017, and the "Registered With" column marks them "INTERIM RERA". Later ones are marked "HRERA".
Each project also has a project ID such as RERA-GRG-2184-2026. That is the file number, not the registration certificate. Complaint case numbers use the same RERA-GRG pattern, so do not mistake one for the other.
What to check on the project record
The "Details of Project (Form A-H)" link opens the promoter's registration application, Form REP-I, in eight parts.
| What to check | Where | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Promoter | Part A | Company name and address, managing director, directors and the authorised representative. |
| Land and licence | Part B | Land area, the licence number from the Town and Country Planning Department, licence validity, and whether the applicant owns the land. |
| Plans and timeline | Part C | Approval dates for the layout and building plans, the likely start and completion dates, apartment types with carpet area, and a quarter-by-quarter development schedule. |
| Money | Part D | Balance sheets, the bank account where buyers' payments will be credited, who operates it, and a chartered accountant's certificate on loan defaults in the past five years. |
| Approvals | Part E | Layout, zoning and building plans, service plans, and the status and date of each statutory approval. |
| Agreement | Part F | The draft allotment letter and agreement for sale. Compare them with the papers you are asked to sign. |
| Track record | Part G | Projects the promoter launched in the last five years, pending litigation, and initial versus likely completion dates. |
| Specifications | Part H | Flooring, fittings, doors, windows and lifts. |
The rest of the row matters as much:
- "View Quarterly Progress" lists each quarterly report. Haryana's rules ask for an update within 15 days after each quarter ends.
- "Monitoring Orders" lists cases the authority has opened to monitor the project, with their status.
- "View OC/CC/PCC" shows an occupation certificate, completion certificate or part completion certificate once one is issued.
To see orders against a promoter, use "Search Judgements" on the Gurugram home page. The "Ruling & Judgements" table lists complaints by respondent name, type and date of decision.
Which account to pay into
HRERA Gurugram's bank account directions of 2019 require three accounts for each project, all in the same bank branch:
- The Master Account receives 100% of buyers' payments. It must be named in the application form and the builder-buyer agreement, and it cannot be changed without the authority's written permission.
- The RERA Account receives 70% of those payments automatically at the end of each business day and can be used only for construction and the proportionate land cost.
- The Free Account receives the remaining 30%.
Pay only into the Master Account, and check that its number matches your agreement and the account in Part D of Form A-H.
Expired or extended registrations
A registration runs until the "Registration Up-to" date. Under section 6 of the Act it can be extended for force majeure, meaning war, flood, drought, fire, cyclone, earthquake or another natural calamity, or in other reasonable circumstances where the promoter is not at fault. The total extension under that second route cannot exceed one year.
In Haryana the promoter applies in Form REP-V within the three months before the registration expires. HRERA Gurugram charges a late fee if the application comes after that.
To spot a problem:
- Compare the "Registration Up-to" date with today's date.
- Click "View Corrigendum" under "View Certificate". It lists extensions, for example "Extension No. 20 of 2025", along with addenda and any cancel or sale-ban order.
- Some entries are labelled "Project continuation". These are orders under section 7(3) of the Act, which lets the authority keep a registration alive on conditions instead of revoking it. Read the conditions.
- Look for "Lapsed Project", "(REGISTRATION SUSPENDED)" or "(IN ABEYANCE)" next to the certificate number.
The home page also links to a "Lapsed Projects" list and a "Defaulter/Cancelled/ Suspended/ Abeyance Projects" list, which includes the authority's orders.
Checking an agent
Brokers who sell flats in registered projects must register too, and an agent must not help sell an unregistered project. Open "Registered Agents' List" from the "Agent Registration" menu. It shows each agent's registration certificate number, name, district, category, certificate issue and expiry dates, and any extension.
Newer agent numbers look like RC/HARERA/GGM/3189/2784/2025/66. Older ones look like 01 of 2017. Check that the certificate has not expired and that the name matches the person or firm you are dealing with.
Red flags
- The project is not on the registered projects list, or the number in the advertisement leads to a different project or builder.
- Only one phase or tower is registered, but you are being sold another.
- The "Registration Up-to" date has passed with no extension listed.
- The project is marked lapsed, suspended or in abeyance, or has open monitoring cases.
- Quarterly reports stop, or the photographs and figures do not match the site.
- You are asked to pay more than 10% before a registered agreement for sale, or to pay into an account other than the Master Account.
How to complain
Complaints start online from the "Complaint Registration" menu on the HRERA Gurugram home page:
- "Registration of Complaint with Authority" uses Form CRA, for breaches of the Act, rules or regulations.
- "Registration of Complaint with Adjudicating Officer" uses Form CAO, for interest and compensation under sections 12, 14, 18 and 19 of the Act.
After you submit the form, the system gives you a complaint number. HRERA Gurugram's published steps set the fee at Rs 1,000 per complaint plus Rs 10 for each annexure, paid by demand draft or through the online payment gateway. The rules add Rs 20 for each extra affidavit and a fresh Rs 1,000 for an amended complaint.
The steps also ask you to send a signed copy to each respondent by speed post and email, and to deliver one set plus one for each respondent to the authority's office by hand within 30 days. Track the case under "Complaints Status".
What registration does and does not guarantee
Registration gives you legal footing. If the promoter fails to hand over on the agreed date, you can ask for a refund with interest or, if you stay, interest for each month of delay. Defects in structure or workmanship reported within five years of possession must be fixed within 30 days.
Registration does not mean the project is well built, fairly priced or financially sound. Most of the record is uploaded by the promoter, so compare it with what you see on site. It also does not replace a lawyer's check of the land title, the licence and the building plan approval.
Key points
- Find the project on HRERA Gurugram's registered projects list and match the registration certificate number and builder to your papers.
- Read the "Registration Up-to" date, the extension entries under "View Corrigendum", the quarterly reports and any monitoring orders.
- Pay only into the project's Master Account, and no more than 10% before a registered agreement for sale.
- Check your broker on the registered agents list, including the expiry date.
