If you are planning to enter Tamil Nadu’s real estate market as a buyer, agent, or developer, you must know the state’s RERA rules. The introduction of RERA was to protect homebuyers and bring transparency to real estate transactions.
In this article, we will take you through the step-by-step process of RERA registration in Tamil Nadu from the fees involved to the necessary documents. If you’re a developer or agent looking to stay informed, this overview is a must-read. Contact Professional Utilities we can guide you through the process of making registrations easier.
RERA Tamil Nadu says that any real estate developer or real estate agent with projects of more than 500 square meters or more than eight apartments, must register under RERA. The reason for this is that the developers are supposed to provide the buyers with the right details of the project and the time for completion.
Registration to RERA Tamil Nadu will make the real estate agents legal and compatible which will keep them away from any legal complication and will also increase their credibility.
The RERA Tamil Nadu Act has the main objective of real estate transactions being open and transparent. When a developer or agent registers with the RERA, the purchaser is assured that the money he invests is safe.
RERA registration is mandatory in Tamil Nadu and projects cannot be advertised, sold or booked without the registration. If the developers or agents don't comply with this requirement, they get penalized for 10 percent of the cost of the project or sent to jail.
The following parties are required to register with RERA Tamil Nadu:
The RERA Tamil Nadu registration process is straightforward but needs to be completed accurately. Below is a step-by-step breakdown:
The RERA authority is different for every state, and for Tamil Nadu, you need to complete the registration process through the Tamil Nadu RERA Registration Portal. This portal is specifically designed for developers and agents operating in Tamil Nadu to submit their project or agent registration details as required under the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority.
When applying, it’s important to select the right category (developer or agent). Developers must submit project details, while agents are required to provide their personal and business information. However, the RERA Tamil Nadu registration online portal is easy to access, but navigating the required sections can be a bit difficult if you don’t have prior knowledge.
You will be required to provide specific information during the RERA Tamil Nadu registration process, including:
Once you fill the application, you will have to pay the RERA Tamil Nadu registration fees. The RERA registration fees for residential projects vary on an average between ₹10 to ₹15 per square meter, based on the total area of the project. The fee for group housing projects is ₹10 per sq. m for up to 1,000 sq. m and ₹15 per sq. m for larger projects. For commercial areas, the fees are ₹20 to ₹25 per square meter depending on the project. For any type of project, the maximum fees are capped at ₹10 lakh to limit higher-end costs.
Once the application has been submitted along with the required RERA registration fee, your documents will be verified by the RERA Tamil Nadu authority. When everything is alright, a unique registration number will be issued for your project.
Once registered, the RERA Tamil Nadu registration number must be prominently displayed in all promotional materials, assuring buyers of compliance with the law.
Depending on whether you are a developer or real estate agent, different documents are required for RERA Tamil Nadu registration. Below is a checklist:

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
