RERA Agent Registration
Register as a property agent with the state real estate authority before you market or broker projects.
Anyone who acts as an intermediary in the sale or purchase of a plot, apartment or building in a registered real estate project must be registered as an agent with the state real estate regulatory authority. It applies to individual brokers as much as to firms.
Registration is not optional and the penalty for acting without it is substantial — a daily penalty for the period of the contravention, which can reach a percentage of the cost of the property involved.

Renewal and training
Registration is granted for a fixed period, commonly five years, and must be renewed before expiry. Several states now also require agents to complete a training and certification programme before registration or renewal.
Maharashtra has been among the more active states on this, so the current requirement should be confirmed at the time of application rather than assumed from an earlier one.
The commercial reality
Beyond the legal requirement, promoters increasingly refuse to pay brokerage to unregistered agents, because doing so exposes them under the Act.
Registration has become a condition of getting paid rather than merely a condition of operating lawfully.

Frequently asked questions
Do individual brokers need to register?
Yes. The requirement applies to any person acting as an intermediary in a registered project, whether an individual, a firm or a company.
What is the penalty for operating without registration?
A daily penalty for the period of contravention, which can extend to a percentage of the cost of the property involved. It is not a nominal amount.
Do I need to register in every state?
Yes. Registration is state-specific, so an agent operating across state lines needs registration with each state authority.
How long is registration valid?
Commonly five years, subject to renewal before expiry. Several states also require training and certification at registration or renewal.
Does it apply to rental transactions?
The Act is directed at the sale and purchase of units in registered projects. Pure rental brokerage generally falls outside it, though the position is worth confirming for your specific activity.
