This office handles 4 of the 35 steps in the register. What else it does, and what it charges.

What to have with you

The source names 5 things the office asks for. Take them all in one go and the visit is usually one visit.

PAN card
Complete details of promoter, partners and directors
Details of covered and open parking areas
Commencement certificate, last five years' project details, provisions of fire safety, electricity, drainages, location details, proforma of agreement
Declaration supported by affidavit signed by the promoter or an authorised person

Quoted from the prerequisite list in the register. Where the source names a detail rather than a document, such as a survey number, it is listed as the source words it.

The form you fill in

Promoter applies in Form 'A' with declaration Form 'B'; Authority issues Certificate of Registration in Form 'C', rejection in Form 'D', extension application in Form 'E' and extension certificate in Form 'F'. Real estate agent registration is Form 'G', certificate Form 'H', rejection Form 'I', renewal Form 'J' / 'K'.

What it costs

Quoted from the government source, in its own words:

Project registration fee under Rule 3(3), payable by demand draft: Group Housing - Rs. 5 per sq. m. if the project land is less than 1000 sq. m. and Rs. 10 per sq. m. if it exceeds 1000 sq. m., maximum Rs. 5,00,000. Mixed Project - Rs. 10 per sq. m. below 1000 sq. m. and Rs. 15 per sq. m. above, maximum Rs. 7,00,000. Commercial - Rs. 20 per sq. m. below 1000 sq. m. and Rs. 25 per sq. m. above, maximum Rs. 10,00,000. Plotting - Rs. 5 per sq. m., maximum Rs. 2,00,000. Real estate agent registration: Rs. 10,000 for an individual, Rs. 50,000 for other than an individual. Extension application: one half of the registration fee. Withdrawal of a registration application: 10% of the registration fee or Rs. 50,000, whichever is more, is retained as processing fee and the remainder refunded.

No part of this figure has been rounded, converted or updated by us. If the department has revised it since 4 August 2026, the correction address is in the footer. Every published fee in the register sits on one page.

How long it takes

Quoted from the source, in its own words:

Regulation 3-B requires every application under section 4 and section 9 of the Act to be submitted online AND in hard copy, the hard copy within 7 days of the online application. The promoter must deposit seventy percent of the amounts realised from allottees in a separate bank account within three months of the application for registration.

The clock runs against the developer. Seven days to follow the online application with a hard copy, and three months to bank the buyers' money. That is our reading of the wording printed above, which is why the wording is printed above.

The nine stated timings in the register are compared on one page.

What to watch out for

The register keeps a note against this step. It is the part most people find out too late, so it is printed in full rather than summarised.

Rule 19 provides for compounding of offences: 5% of the estimated cost of the project for offences under sections 59 and 64, and 5% of the estimated cost of the plot, apartment or building for offences under sections 66 and 68.

The law behind it

Sections 3, 4 and 9, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016; Rules 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) (General) Rules, 2017; Regulations 3-B and 4 of the (General) Regulations, 2017 (in force from 7 September 2017)
