RERA Registration for Real Estate Agents – Individual and Entity Agent Registration

Q: Who is required to register as a RERA agent?

Any individual, firm, or entity facilitating sale or purchase of property in a RERA-registered project must register under Section 9 before commencing any activity.

Q: What documents are required for RERA agent registration?

PAN, Aadhaar, address proof, photographs, declaration of past violations, educational certificates, and entity documents (for firms/companies). Requirements vary by state RERA.

Q: How long is the RERA agent registration valid?

Most states provide 5-year validity. Non-renewal results in registration lapse and prohibition from facilitating transactions. Timely renewal is essential.

Q: What is an agent prohibited from doing under RERA?

Facilitating sales in unregistered projects, making false representations, accepting excess payments, or operating for projects with revoked RERA registration are all prohibited under Section 10.

Q: Can a real estate agent operate in multiple states with a single RERA registration?

No. Separate RERA registration is required in each state where the agent facilitates transactions. We manage multi-state applications and renewal schedules.

Mandatory RERA Agent Registration for Individuals and Firms Facilitating Property Transactions in India

Under Section 9 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, no real estate agent may facilitate the sale or purchase of any property in a RERA-registered project without first obtaining a valid RERA registration from the state Real Estate Regulatory Authority. A real estate agent who facilitates a property transaction in a RERA-registered project without registration is liable to a penalty of Rs 10,000 per day of default — which can accumulate rapidly for agents handling multiple transactions. RERA agent registration is therefore a non-negotiable compliance requirement for all practising real estate agents, brokers, and property consultants.

Our RERA agent registration services cover new registrations, annual renewal, multi-state registration coordination, and compliance advisory for individual agents, partnership firms, and corporate real estate agencies. This service connects with our RERA Overview and developer compliance services for agents embedded within or engaged by real estate developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is required to register as a RERA agent?

Under Section 9 of the RERA Act, any person — including individuals, partnership firms, companies, and other entities — who acts as a real estate agent for the facilitation of a sale or purchase of any plot, apartment, or building in a RERA-registered project is required to obtain RERA agent registration from the state RERA authority before commencing activity. The requirement applies regardless of whether the agent is employed by a developer or operates independently.

What documents are required for RERA agent registration?

Standard document requirements (which vary by state RERA) typically include: PAN card and Aadhaar card of the individual agent or entity directors; proof of business address; passport-size photographs; self-attested declaration of any past convictions or RERA violations; educational qualification certificates; and, for entities, Certificate of Incorporation or partnership deed. Some states also require a RERA qualifying examination certificate for new registrations.

How long is the RERA agent registration valid?

RERA agent registration validity varies by state. Most states provide registration valid for five years, after which renewal is required. Some states prescribe shorter periods. Non-renewal results in lapse of registration and prohibition from facilitating transactions — making timely renewal essential for practising agents. We provide proactive renewal management across all state RERA registrations.

What is an agent prohibited from doing under RERA?

Under Section 10, a RERA-registered agent must not: facilitate the sale or purchase of any plot or apartment in an unregistered project; make false or misleading representations to buyers; receive payments in excess of the amounts specified in the Agreement to Sale; or facilitate transactions for a project whose RERA registration has been revoked or cancelled by the RERA authority. Violations expose the agent to penalty, deregistration, and criminal proceedings.

Can a real estate agent operate in multiple states with a single RERA registration?

No. RERA registration is state-specific. An agent facilitating transactions in multiple states must obtain separate RERA agent registrations from each state's Real Estate Regulatory Authority. Documents and fees vary by state RERA. Our team manages multi-state registration applications and renewal schedules for agents with pan-India operations.
