RERA Registration requirements and exemptions to registration

Section 3(1) mandates that the promoter should get his project registered under RERA law. Without the registry it is not permissible to market or sell any plot, apartment or building. The word apartment has been described in section 2(e) as a separate unit intended to be used for residential or commercial purpose. Hence even though a Real Estate project only contains commercial units(be it office, godown etc) ,if the intention is to sell it to another person then in that case registration is to be taken.

There are exceptions to this rule. As Section 3(2) states that in case of Real estate project not exceeding 500 sqft or having less than 8 apartments, registration is not required.

However in West bengal, Notification No 42-H4/2M-01/2023 has been issued which provided that exemption from registration is only acceptable when the threshold area of the land proposed to be developed does not exceed 200 sq. mtr (2152.78 sqft | 3 Kattha) OR Apartment ≤ 6

So , it could be interpreted that if the land to be developed is in excess of 200sqmtr (or roughly 3 katha) but only has 6 apartment then no registration required as the condition here is not dually satisfied.

Notification No. 1871-RERA/1p has mandated RERA registration for issuance of Completion Certificate, hence it is in the promoters best interest to get their project registered
