Telangana State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TS RERA) was established in 2017 under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, to protect the interests of homebuyers and promote transparency and accountability in the real estate sector in Telangana, India.

According to RERA Telangana rules, developers cannot promote a project until it’s registered with RERA. Promotion includes advertising, offering for sale, and inviting people to buy. Developers also have to share quarterly reports on the real estate project.

The RERA Telangana website provides different services for builders, citizens and real estate professionals. These services include registering projects, registering as an agent, uploading documents, making online payments, downloading forms, searching for projects, and filing complaints.

About the Telangana RERA Act

It was only after the publication in Telangana Gazette on 4th August 2017, that the Telangana rules became operational for the regulation of the real estate sector.

16th November- Telangana RERA takes strict action against rule violations-

Telangana RERA took action on November 15, 2023, by sending notices to several builders for not following RERA Act rules, like selling plots and apartments without proper registration. The companies were promoting projects without registering with Telangana RERA, which is required by law. This goes against the rules, and not complying gives buyers limited access to important information on the Telangana RERA website. These companies had 15 days to respond to the notice.
