HRERA checklist before you book a Gurugram flat
Registration status, carpet vs super area, and escrow accounts — the three checks every buyer should complete on haryanarera.gov.in.
1. Confirm RERA registration
Every new project in Haryana should appear on haryanarera.gov.in with an active registration number. Search by project name and developer; note registration validity and any amendments or extensions.
If a salesperson cites "approval pending," treat that as a yellow flag until you see the registration certificate and project details on the official portal.
2. Carpet area vs super built-up
RERA mandates carpet area disclosure — the net usable floor area inside walls. Super built-up includes common areas and can inflate perceived size by 25–35%. Always compare carpet area when evaluating price per sq ft.
Ask for the RERA allotment format and match it to the builder's marketing brochure. Discrepancies should be resolved before token payment.
3. Escrow and payment discipline
Registered projects must route buyer payments through designated escrow accounts linked to construction milestones. Verify account details on the RERA filing before transferring large sums.
Keep payment receipts, demand letters, and correspondence. They are essential if timelines slip or you need to raise a dispute with the authority.
After you book
Track quarterly progress reports filed on RERA, join resident forums for possession updates, and plan stamp duty and registration separately from the base agreement value.
ZeroFeeHomes encourages buyers to complete this checklist even when dealing directly with owners on resale — title and society NOC matter as much as on primary sales.
