- Transparency: All project details, pricing, timeline are public
- Legal Compliance: Developers must complete project on time
- Recourse: File complaints with RERA authority if seller defaults
- Project Details: Verify project specifications before investing
How to Verify RERA Registration:
- Visit: https://maharera.mahaonline.gov.in (for Maharashtra) or TS RERA website
- Search by project name or registration number
- Verify developer name, location, timeline
