What is RERA Compliance?

RERA Compliance means adhering to the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. India's regulatory framework for the real-estate sector. Every promoter of a project on land above 500 sq m or with more than 8 apartments must register with the state RERA authority, deposit 70% of collections into an escrow account, file Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs), maintain an allottee register, and honour homebuyer grievance timelines. Non-compliance carries penalties up to 10% of project cost.

Who must register under RERA?

Any promoter developing a real-estate project on land above 500 sq m or with more than 8 apartments (whichever is lower) must register with the state RERA authority before advertising, marketing, booking or selling. Real-estate agents also require registration. Registration numbers must be displayed on all marketing collateral including websites and brochures.

What is the 70% RERA escrow rule?

Section 4(2)(l)(D) of RERA requires 70% of all money collected from allottees for a project to be deposited into a separate escrow account with a scheduled bank and used solely for that project's construction and land cost. Withdrawals require certification by an engineer, an architect and a chartered accountant. dcomply monitors escrow balance vs project spend and alerts on shortfalls.

What is a QPR under RERA?

A Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) is a mandatory filing to the state RERA authority every quarter covering the physical and financial status of the project, units booked, area sold, collections received, escrow drawdowns, construction progress and any delays or amendments. dcomply auto-generates the QPR from your project data and reminds you 15 days before each deadline.

What are penalties for non-compliance with RERA?

Failure to register a project can trigger a penalty up to 10% of project cost, plus imprisonment up to 3 years. False information in registration attracts up to 5% of project cost. Failure to comply with orders of the RERA authority is 5% of cost. Failure to comply with orders of the Appellate Tribunal is 10% plus imprisonment. dcomply prevents these by never letting a deadline slip.

How does dcomply handle homebuyer grievances?

dcomply's Grievance Management module ingests homebuyer complaints (via web form, email or portal), routes them to the responsible team, tracks response SLA per state RERA rules (typically 30 to 60 days), captures acknowledgement, resolution and closure, and maintains a full audit trail suitable for RERA authority inspection.

The Problem

RERA Penalties Can Reach 10% of Project Cost

Non-disclosure, missed quarterly filings, and poor grievance management expose developers to massive penalties and project de-registration

Missed Quarterly Filings

RERA requires quarterly project status updates. Missing even one filing invites penalties and draws regulatory attention

Homebuyer Grievances

Unresolved buyer complaints escalate to RERA authorities, resulting in orders, penalties, and reputational damage

Multi-State Complexity

Each state RERA has different rules, timelines, and portals. Tracking compliance across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi simultaneously is unmanageable manually
