How to Verify Any Property
on Punjab RERA
A step-by-step guide for Bathinda buyers — no legal degree needed. Check RERA registration, promoter credentials and project status in 5 minutes.
WHAT IS RERA?
RERA stands for the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. In Punjab, all residential and commercial real estate projects above a certain size must be registered with the Punjab Real Estate Regulatory Authority before marketing or selling. This means buyers have a legally enforceable record of what the developer has promised — timelines, specifications, layout and completion date.
Simple version: If a project is RERA-registered, the developer cannot change the layout, delay possession without penalty, or hide the project details. If it is not registered — and it legally should be — that is a serious red flag.
STEP-BY-STEP: VERIFY ON PUNJAB RERA PORTAL
Step 1
Go to rera.punjab.gov.in → click "Registered Projects"
Step 2
Select District: Bathinda. Enter project name or RERA number.
Step 3
Open the project. Check promoter name, address and contact.
Step 4
Check the approved layout plan. Does it match what you are being shown?
Step 5
Check RERA expiry date. Expired RERA = project has not been renewed = risk.
Step 6
Check complaints filed. Any unresolved complaints = investigate further.
WHAT RERA PROTECTS YOU FROM
- Developers selling plots that are not in the approved layout
- Changing specifications after booking (e.g. plot size reduced)
- Delayed possession without compensation
- False advertising about amenities and infrastructure
- Disappearing developers after taking advance payments
COMMON RERA SCAMS IN PUNJAB
- Project marketed as "RERA applied" — RERA applied is NOT the same as RERA registered. Do not pay advance for an unregistered project.
- Fake RERA numbers — always verify the number yourself on the portal. Do not rely on the brochure alone.
- Expired RERA — project was registered but registration lapsed. Developer did not complete or renew. Check expiry date.
- Selling plots outside the RERA boundary — the plot you are shown may not be in the registered layout. Always cross-check plot number on portal.
- Collecting advance before RERA registration — illegal under RERA. Walk away.
