How to Check RERA Approval for Hyderabad Projects – Step-by-Step Guide (2025)

Planning to buy a flat in Hyderabad? Before booking, it’s essential to check if the project is RERA-approved. This guide shows you how to verify RERA registration of any project or builder in Telangana using the official portal.

🧱 What Is RERA and Why It Matters?

RERA stands for Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, introduced to protect homebuyers and increase transparency in the real estate sector.

A RERA-registered project means:

• It has legal approval from the government
• The builder has declared full details publicly
• You’re protected if the builder delays or deviates

📌 In Hyderabad, all major residential projects must be registered with RERA Telangana.

🌐 Step-by-Step: How to Check RERA Approval for Hyderabad Projects

✅ Step 1: Visit Telangana RERA Website

🔗 https://rera.telangana.gov.in

This is the official portal of the Telangana State Real Estate Regulatory Authority.

✅ Step 2: Click on “Registered Projects”

You’ll find this option under the “Project Details” or “Public Search” section on the homepage.

✅ Step 3: Enter Any One of the Following

• Project Name (e.g., Aparna Serene Park)
• Builder Name (e.g., My Home Group)
• District/Location (e.g., Rangareddy, Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri)
• Project RERA Number (if already known)

🧠 Use partial names to broaden your search — e.g., “Aparna” instead of “Aparna Heights Phase 2”

✅ Step 4: View Project Details

Once you find the project, you’ll see:

Information Available	Why It’s Important
RERA Registration Number	Proves it’s officially registered
Project Status (Approved/Expired)	Check if it’s active
Promoter (Builder) Name	Confirms builder’s identity
Sanctioned Plan & Project Documents	Transparency on layout, plan, approvals
Date of Completion & Extension	Know delivery timeline
Litigation Details (if any)	Red flag if legal disputes are listed

🚨 What If the Project Is Not RERA-Registered?

⚠️ Do NOT proceed with booking unless:

• The builder provides valid RERA number
• Registration is under process (get official confirmation)
• The project is under 500 sq.m. or has <8 flats (exempted, but risky)

🧾 Pro Tip: Ask for RERA Certificate from the Builder

Even if the builder claims it’s RERA-approved, always ask for a soft copy of the registration certificate or verify the number on the portal.

👉 Example: “RERA No. P02400003865” – this format is typical for Telangana.

✅ Benefits of Buying a RERA-Approved Project

• Legal safety: Builder can’t change layout arbitrarily
• On-time delivery (or compensation if delayed)
• Advance limited to 10% before agreement
• Transparency on carpet area, specs, amenities
• Access to grievance redressal via RERA tribunal
