RERA registration in Ahmedabad is the mandatory registration of eligible real estate projects and real estate agents with the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (GujRERA) before a project is advertised, marketed, booked or sold, or before an agent facilitates any such transaction. The applicability threshold is not city-specific — the same 500 square metre/8-apartment test applies whether a project sits on SG Highway or in Naroda — but Ahmedabad’s Town Planning Scheme-driven expansion and its AUDA/AMC jurisdictional split make land title and layout-approval documentation the most common source of registration delay in this market. The office commonly searched for as the “RERA Registrar in Ahmedabad” is GujRERA itself, operating from its state head office at Sahyog Sankul, Sector 11, Gandhinagar — full address, contact details and the complaint route are covered in Sections 2 and 9 of this guide.
1. Why RERA Registration Matters for Ahmedabad’s Real Estate Market
This guide has been prepared by Marcken Consulting LLP, a Chartered Accountancy and valuation firm headquartered in Ahmedabad, and reflects the Act, the Gujarat rules and GujRERA practice as they stand in mid-2026. Ahmedabad’s residential and commercial development has been unusually corridor-driven. The SG Highway–GIFT City–Infocity belt toward Gandhinagar, the West and West Peripheral zone around Shela, South Bopal and Bopal — which accounted for close to 40% of new residential launches in the city in Q2 2026 — and the Sanand-Sanathal industrial corridor each carry their own mix of first-time developers, established builders and land-owning cooperative societies bringing projects to market. Much of this land reaches development-ready status through a Town Planning (TP) Scheme, the land-pooling mechanism Gujarat authorities use to convert agricultural land to non-agricultural (NA) status and reconstitute ownership into final plots (F.P. numbers) with roads, drainage and services attached, before a builder can apply for a building permission and, if the project qualifies, GujRERA registration.
Two authorities matter here. The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) governs planning across the wider metropolitan area under its Revised Development Plan, 2021, while the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) governs land within municipal limits — and in 2026 the Gujarat government announced plans to merge AUDA with the Gandhinagar Urban Development Authority (GUDA) into a single joint authority for the Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar region, with a new Development Plan-2041 exercise under way, which would bring the belt that includes the GIFT City corridor under unified planning control. Which authority approved a project’s layout and building plan affects the documents a promoter must produce at the GujRERA registration stage, and title or zoning disputes tied to TP Scheme land have been a recurring source of the land-fraud cases the Ahmedabad CID has pursued in recent years. For buyers, investors and lenders, GujRERA registration is the single fastest check against exactly that risk — a project search on the portal confirms whether the promoter’s claimed approvals, land title and disclosures have actually been filed with the regulator, rather than taken on trust from a brochure.
2. The RERA Registrar in Ahmedabad: GujRERA Office, Address and Contact Details
2.1 Who the RERA Registrar Actually Is
“RERA Registrar in Ahmedabad” is the phrase most people reach for when they need the office that registers real estate projects and agents, but it is worth being precise about what sits behind it. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 does not create a separate post of “Registrar” — registration, regulation and enforcement functions all vest in the state authority itself. For Ahmedabad, that is the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (GujRERA), established by the Government of Gujarat under Section 20 of the Act and operational since May 2017, comprising a Chairperson and members appointed by the State Government; as of mid-2026 the Authority is chaired by Anita Karwal, a retired IAS officer. A promoter, agent or homebuyer looking for the RERA Registrar in Ahmedabad is therefore, in practice, dealing with GujRERA — through its online portal for most filings, and through its head office for everything that still moves on paper.
2.2 Office Address and Contact Details
GujRERA does not maintain a separate city office in Ahmedabad. Projects and agents across Ahmedabad — and the rest of Gujarat — are administered from the Authority’s state head office in Gandhinagar, about 25 km north of central Ahmedabad:
| Contact point | Details |
|---|---|
| Head office | Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority, 4th Floor, Sahyog Sankul, Sector 11, Gandhinagar – 382010 |
| Phone | (079) 232-58659 |
| inforera@gujarat.gov.in | |
| Official portal | gujrera.gujarat.gov.in |
| Appeals forum | Gujarat Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, Dr. Jivraj Mehta Bhavan, Block No. 8, 2nd Floor, Gandhinagar |
Timings, floor details and helpline numbers change from time to time, so it is worth confirming on the portal’s contact page or by phone before making the trip. The hard-copy document set that follows an online project application (Section 4.1 of this guide) is delivered to this office, and physical hearings in complaint and registration matters are also held here.
2.3 Roles and Responsibilities of the RERA Registrar (GujRERA)
In its registrar role, GujRERA grants, rejects, extends and revokes project registrations under Sections 4 to 8 of the Act, and registers, renews and revokes real estate agents under Section 9 read with Rules 10 to 13 of the Gujarat General Rules. Around that core function sit the Authority’s wider responsibilities: maintaining the public database of registered projects and agents that the Act directs it to publish on its website (Section 34 of the Act) and that the portal search covered in Section 8 of this guide draws on, monitoring the quarterly disclosures promoters must keep current, receiving complaints under Section 31 of the Act and deciding contraventions, referring compensation claims to the Adjudicating Officer, and imposing the penalties covered in Section 10 of this guide. Day to day, most interactions with the office are electronic — GujRERA 2.0 handles applications, disclosures and complaints online — with the physical office coming into play for hard-copy submissions, hearings and offline filings.
3. RERA Applicability: Who Must Register
3.1 The 500 Square Metre / 8-Apartment Threshold
Under Section 3(2)(a) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, registration of a real estate project is not required where the land proposed for development does not exceed 500 square metres, or where the number of apartments proposed does not exceed eight, inclusive of all phases of the project. In practice, this means registration becomes mandatory the moment either the land area or the unit count crosses that line. It is worth flagging that authorities and tribunals in different states have not always read the two limbs the same way — some treat either condition alone as sufficient to trigger registration, others have required both conditions to be exceeded before exemption falls away — so a project sitting close to the threshold on one limb only should not be assumed exempt without a specific check.
Where a project is developed in phases, each phase is treated as a standalone real estate project requiring its own registration. Projects that already held a completion certificate before the Act came into force in Gujarat, and projects undertaken purely for renovation, repair or redevelopment that do not involve marketing, advertising, selling or new allotment, are also outside the registration requirement.
3.2 Real Estate Agents: Registration Under Section 9
Section 9 of the Act separately requires every real estate agent to register with GujRERA before facilitating the sale or purchase of any plot, apartment or building forming part of a project that is itself registered under Section 3. This applies equally to individual brokers, partnership firms and companies operating as channel partners, and to property consultants marketing units on a registered project’s behalf. Registration is agent-specific, not project-specific — once granted, it allows the agent to act across any registered project, not only the one named in the original application.
3.3 Projects That Are Exempt
Beyond the size threshold, the Act and the Gujarat rules carve out a narrow set of exemptions: completed projects holding a valid completion certificate issued before 1 May 2017, projects limited to repair, renovation or redevelopment without fresh sale or allotment, and land developed directly by a landowner for their own use without any element of sale to third parties. Government bodies and public authorities developing land they own, and cooperative housing societies constructing for their own members, do not get a blanket exemption — they are brought within the registration requirement in the same way as any other promoter once the size threshold is crossed.
4. Project Registration: Process and Documents
4.1 Application and Form A
A promoter applies for project registration in Form A under Rule 3 of the Gujarat Real Estate (Regulation and Development) (General) Rules, 2017. The Rules originally required the application to be submitted in triplicate hard copy pending a fully web-based process; GujRERA has since moved registration onto its online portal (now referred to as GujRERA 2.0), though the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (General) Regulations, 2017 still require the supporting hard copy set to reach the Authority’s Gandhinagar head office (Section 2.2 of this guide) within 7 days of the online submission — missing that window attracts a delay processing charge of Rs 1,000 per day until it is filed.
4.2 Documents and Disclosures Required
The application is accompanied by a declaration in Form B under Rule 3(4), along with the promoter’s title documents, an encumbrance certificate, sanctioned layout and building plans from the competent authority — AUDA or AMC, depending on where the land falls — proforma of the allottee agreement, and details of the real estate agents, architects, engineers and contractors engaged on the project. For land that has passed through a TP Scheme, the final plot number and the TP Scheme reference are part of establishing clean, developable title, and are commonly where documentation gaps first surface.
4.3 Timeline: The 30-Day Rule
Under Section 5 of the Act, the Authority must grant or reject a registration application within 30 days of receipt. If it does neither within that window, the project is treated as registered by default, subject to the promoter accepting the standard registration conditions. A promoter who withdraws an application before that 30-day window runs out forfeits 10% of the fee already paid, or Rs 50,000, whichever is higher, as a processing charge under Rule 3(5), with the balance refunded.
4.4 Registration Certificate, Validity and Extension
Once granted under Rule 6 (Form C), the registration certificate states a validity period tied to the promoter’s declared completion timeline; Rule 6 also excludes from that period any time lost to a court or tribunal stay, injunction, or similar mitigating circumstance the Authority accepts. An extension can be sought under Rule 7 (Form E) for a fee equivalent to half the original registration fee, waivable at the Authority’s discretion where the delay is due to force majeure; the Authority can revoke a registration under Rule 8, but only after giving the promoter at least 30 days’ written notice of the grounds and an opportunity to respond.
5. Real Estate Agent Registration in Gujarat
5.1 Application Process
An individual or entity seeking to operate as a registered real estate agent applies under Rule 10, which implements the registration requirement in Section 9(2) of the Act. The application takes the applicant’s identity and business details, PAN, proof of business address, and photographs, and — consistent with the project-registration process — is filed through the GujRERA portal. Under Rule 10(2), the registration fee is Rs 10,000 for an individual applicant and Rs 50,000 for a firm or company, and under Rule 11(3) the registration is valid for five years from the date of grant.
5.2 Validity, Renewal and Revocation
Renewal is governed by Rule 12 and must be applied for at least 3 months before the existing registration expires, on the same documents required at initial registration, updated for any change in the agent’s details. The renewal fee is half the original registration fee — Rs 5,000 for an individual, Rs 25,000 for a firm or company — and a renewal, once granted, is itself valid for a further five years. Rule 13, read with Section 9(7) of the Act, allows the Authority to revoke an agent’s registration for cause — notified to the agent in Form I — which is one of the reasons a buyer or developer verifying an agent’s status on the portal should check current standing rather than relying on a certificate shown to them directly.
6. GujRERA Registration Fees
Registration fees for a project are prescribed under Rule 3(3) and vary by project category:
| Project category | Fee |
|---|---|
| Group housing — land up to 1,000 sq m | Rs 5 per sq m, capped at Rs 5 lakh |
| Group housing — land exceeding 1,000 sq m | Rs 10 per sq m, capped at Rs 5 lakh |
| Mixed development (residential and commercial) — land up to 1,000 sq m | Rs 10 per sq m, capped at Rs 7 lakh |
| Mixed development — land exceeding 1,000 sq m | Rs 15 per sq m, capped at Rs 7 lakh |
| Commercial — land up to 1,000 sq m | Rs 20 per sq m |
| Commercial — land exceeding 1,000 sq m | Rs 25 per sq m, capped at Rs 10 lakh |
| Plotted development | Rs 5 per sq m, capped at Rs 2 lakh |
| Real estate agent registration — individual | Rs 10,000 |
| Real estate agent registration — firm or company | Rs 50,000 |
| Agent renewal — individual | Rs 5,000 |
| Agent renewal — firm or company | Rs 25,000 |
| Complaint filing — Form A (Authority) or Form B (Adjudicating Officer) | Rs 1,000 per complaint |
All figures above are prescribed under Rule 3(3) of the Gujarat Real Estate (Regulation and Development) (General) Rules, 2017 and Rule 10(2)/Rule 12(2) for agents, with the complaint filing fee as published on the GujRERA portal’s complaint pages; fee notifications are revised from time to time, so the current schedule on the GujRERA portal is worth a final check before filing.
7. The Escrow Account and Buyer Protections
7.1 The Separate Account Requirement
Section 4(2)(l)(D) of the Act requires a promoter to deposit 70% of the amounts realised from allottees for a project into a separate bank account, to be used only for construction and land costs of that project — the mechanism intended to stop funds collected for one project being diverted to another. Withdrawals from this account are not unrestricted.
7.2 Withdrawal Certificates: Where Ahmedabad’s CAs Come In
Under Rule 5, a chartered accountant’s certificate alone supports withdrawal of costs already incurred before registration and, after registration, the land cost; withdrawing the remaining balance in proportion to construction progress needs the fuller certificate set — engineer, architect and chartered accountant together. The Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (General) Regulations, 2017 prescribe the formats: Form 1 (architect), Form 2 (engineer), Form 3 (chartered accountant). This is one of the more direct points of contact between RERA compliance and a Chartered Accountant’s practice — every withdrawal stage needs a CA signature, and the Regulations require the certifying CA to be a different person from the promoter’s own statutory auditor.
7.3 Interest on Delayed Possession
Where a promoter is liable to pay interest to an allottee under Sections 12, 18 or 19 of the Act — covering false disclosure, delayed possession and allottee claims — Rule 16 sets the applicable rate as the contractual rate agreed between promoter and allottee in the agreement for sale; the same rate applies in reverse if the allottee defaults. Where no contractual rate was agreed, Rule 16(2) falls back to the State Bank of India’s Marginal Cost of Lending Rate plus 2%. Any refund due, with interest and compensation, is payable within 45 days of falling due under Rule 17. Compensation claims — which extend also to structural defects under Section 14(3) — are filed in Form B before the RERA Adjudicating Officer under Sections 12, 14, 18 and 19; the complaint route, fees and appeal path are covered in Section 9 of this guide.
Registering a project or need help preparing GujRERA documentation?
A 30-minute conversation is usually enough to scope the work. There is no charge and no obligation.
8. Verifying a Registration on the GujRERA Portal
Before booking a unit, engaging an agent, or relying on a promoter’s representations, the GujRERA portal lets anyone search registered projects by name, promoter or registration number, and registered agents by name or registration number. A project listing shows its registration number, promoter details, sanctioned layout, declared timeline and any disclosures filed since registration; an agent listing confirms whether a registration is current or has lapsed or been revoked under Rule 13. For a market where TP Scheme land parcels and multi-phase launches are common, cross-checking the registration number quoted in a brochure against the portal — rather than the reverse — is the more reliable way to catch a mismatch.
9. Filing a Complaint with GujRERA and Appeals to the Tribunal
9.1 Complaints Before the Authority and the Adjudicating Officer
Under Section 31 of the Act, any aggrieved person can file a complaint against a promoter, agent or allottee for a violation of the Act, the rules or the regulations. On the GujRERA portal, the route splits by the relief sought. A complaint in Form A goes before the Authority itself for contraventions of the Act generally — unregistered marketing, disclosure failures, breaches of registration conditions. A claim for compensation or interest under Sections 12, 14, 18 or 19 — false disclosure, structural defects, delayed possession and allottee claims — is filed in Form B before the Adjudicating Officer appointed under Section 71, who is required to dispose of it within 60 days, recording reasons where that is not possible. Each route carries a filing fee of Rs 1,000, payable online through a Citizen login on the portal or offline by demand draft with the physical form at the Gandhinagar office (Section 2.2 of this guide).
9.2 Appeals: The Gujarat Real Estate Appellate Tribunal and the High Court
An order of the Authority or the Adjudicating Officer is not the end of the road. Under Section 44(2) of the Act, any aggrieved person may appeal to the Gujarat Real Estate Appellate Tribunal within 60 days of receiving the order (the Tribunal can condone a delay on sufficient cause), and the Tribunal in turn is expected to endeavour to dispose of the appeal within 60 days under Section 44(5). One asymmetry deserves every promoter’s attention: under the proviso to Section 43(5), a promoter’s appeal is not entertained unless the promoter first deposits at least 30% of the penalty imposed — or such higher percentage as the Tribunal determines — or, where the appeal concerns amounts due to an allottee, the total amount payable including interest and compensation. The Tribunal sits at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Bhavan, Block No. 8, 2nd Floor, Gandhinagar (see Section 2.2 of this guide). A further appeal from the Tribunal lies to the Gujarat High Court under Section 58, within 60 days, on grounds involving a substantial question of law.
10. Penalties for Non-Compliance
10.1 Penalties for Promoters
Marketing, booking or selling units in a project that should be registered but isn’t exposes a promoter to a penalty of up to 10% of the estimated project cost under Section 59, and continued non-compliance with the Authority’s subsequent order can escalate to imprisonment of up to 3 years, a further fine, or both. Providing false information at the application stage, or contravening Section 4 — which includes the escrow requirement covered above — carries a separate penalty of up to 5% of project cost under Section 60, and general contraventions of the Act, rules or regulations are covered under Section 61 on similar terms. Where a promoter specifically fails to comply with an order of the Gujarat Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, Section 64 provides for imprisonment of up to 3 years, a fine, or both — a materially different provision, and a materially different tribunal, from the Authority-level penalties above.
10.2 Penalties for Real Estate Agents
Facilitating a sale or purchase without the registration Section 9 requires, or contravening an agent’s duties under Section 10, is penalised under Section 62. Failure to comply with an order of the Authority attracts a daily penalty under Section 65, cumulatively capped by reference to the cost of the property involved. Failure to comply specifically with an order of the Appellate Tribunal is the agent-side equivalent of Section 64 for promoters — but the maximum term under Section 66 is imprisonment of up to 1 year, not 3, alongside a fine.
10.3 Compounding of Offences
Rule 19 allows offences under Section 70 of the Act to be compounded on payment of a prescribed sum, in place of prosecution, at the court’s discretion — a route that exists for exactly the kind of technical or first-instance default that a promoter or agent would want resolved without a criminal proceeding running its full course.
11. RERA Compliance Across Ahmedabad’s Growth Corridors
The practical registration issues differ somewhat by where in the city a project sits:
- SG Highway–GIFT City–Infocity belt (Sargasan, Kudasan and the wider AUDA-GUDA corridor) — land here increasingly sits inside the zone whose planning authority shifted from GIFT UDA to GUDA in 2024; approvals cited under the earlier framework are worth re-verifying against current zoning before a registration application is prepared.
- West and West Peripheral zone (Shela, South Bopal, Bopal, Hebatpur) — the corridor carrying the launch volume noted above, and correspondingly the area where TP Scheme final-plot documentation and layout-approval timing most often affect how quickly a registration application can be filed.
- Chandkheda, Gota and the North Peripheral belt — a mix of AUDA and AMC jurisdiction depending on the specific parcel, which affects which authority’s sanctioned plan a promoter attaches to the GujRERA application.
- Sanand-Sanathal industrial corridor and the Eastern belt (Naroda, Nikol, Hathijan) — more commercial and mixed-use registration activity than pure residential, bringing the commercial fee slab in Section 6 of this guide into play more often than the group-housing rate.
Across all of these, land that has passed through a Town Planning Scheme carries its own reference numbers — the TP Scheme number and final plot (F.P.) number — that should reconcile cleanly with the title documents filed at registration; a mismatch here is one of the more common reasons a GujRERA application comes back with a query.
12. Common Compliance Mistakes to Avoid
- Marketing before registration. Advertising, listing, or accepting even a token booking amount before the registration number is granted is itself the Section 59 default — not a preparatory step that becomes compliant once registration follows.
- Treating agent registration as project-linked. An agent’s registration is personal to them and covers any registered project, not just the one they first mention on the application — but it still needs to be current, not merely applied for, before facilitating a transaction.
- Title documentation that doesn’t match TP Scheme records. Where land has been through a Town Planning Scheme, the final plot number and the title chain need to reconcile before submission — this is a distinctly Ahmedabad-and-Gujarat point of failure compared with cities without an equivalent land-pooling mechanism.
- Escrow withdrawals without the Form 1/2/3 certificate set. Withdrawing from the separate account without the architect, engineer and CA certification proportionate to construction progress is a Section 4 compliance gap, not merely a paperwork formality.
- Missing the 7-day hard-copy window. Even where the online application is filed on time, the Regulations still require the physical document set to follow within 7 days — missing it triggers a running daily charge rather than an outright rejection, which makes it an easy one to overlook.
13. How Marcken Consulting Supports RERA-Adjacent Compliance in Ahmedabad
13.1 Where a CA Firm Fits in the RERA Process
Marcken Consulting is a Chartered Accountancy and valuation firm based in Ahmedabad. GujRERA is the statutory authority for registration and regulation under the Act, and Marcken Consulting is not the registering authority and does not act as one. Where our practice intersects with RERA compliance is in the areas that sit naturally with a CA firm’s work: preparing the financial and documentation package that supports a registration application, Form 3 chartered accountant certification for escrow account withdrawals under the Regulations, and coordinating with the architects, engineers and legal advisors a developer is already working with so that registration, disbursement certification and ongoing compliance move on a consistent timeline. For promoters and agents whose search for the RERA Registrar in Ahmedabad begins with a filing already in motion — a registration application, an extension, a withdrawal certificate or a complaint response — that coordination work is aimed at producing a complete, query-proof submission the first time.
13.2 Why Promoters and Agents in Ahmedabad Work With Marcken
Several structural facts about the firm are relevant to a promoter or agent choosing support for GujRERA work:
- Headquartered in Ahmedabad. The TP Scheme final-plot reconciliations, AUDA/AMC jurisdictional questions and corridor-specific documentation issues described in this guide are the firm’s home market, handled from the city itself rather than from a desk elsewhere.
- CA certification and valuation under one roof. Form 3 chartered accountant certification for escrow withdrawals and the firm’s IBBI-Registered Valuer practice sit together, so the certification, valuation and financial-documentation strands of a project can move through a single engagement.
- Coordinated Merchant Banker certification where a transaction needs it. Where a transaction also requires a Merchant Banker’s certificate, that certificate is issued by a SEBI-registered Category-I Merchant Banker within the same coordinated engagement.
- Independence by design. The Gujarat Regulations require the chartered accountant certifying escrow withdrawals to be a different entity from the promoter’s statutory auditor — engaging a separate firm for Form 3 certification keeps that separation clean from the first withdrawal.
13.3 Related Services for Ahmedabad Developers
Businesses that need broader financial oversight through a project’s development cycle — monthly MIS, cash flow monitoring against the escrow account, compliance tracking across multiple registered phases — may also find our Virtual CFO services in Ahmedabad relevant, and developers or investors who need an independent valuation of land, a project, or development rights ahead of a transaction can find that covered on our Registered Valuer in Ahmedabad page. Businesses managing GST across a real estate project — works contract classification, input credit restrictions, and the affordable-versus-standard rate distinction on residential projects — may also find our GST Consultant in Ahmedabad page relevant. A broader view of how the firm supports Ahmedabad businesses across audit, tax, GST, valuation and fundraising is available in our Best CA in Ahmedabad guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is RERA registration mandatory for every real estate project in Ahmedabad?
Only where the land proposed for development exceeds 500 square metres or the number of apartments exceeds eight, inclusive of all phases, under Section 3(2)(a) of the Act. Smaller projects, completed projects with a pre-2017 completion certificate, and pure renovation or redevelopment work without new sale or allotment fall outside the requirement.
Where is the RERA Registrar office for Ahmedabad located?
There is no separate GujRERA office inside Ahmedabad city. Projects and agents across Ahmedabad are administered from the Authority’s state head office at 4th Floor, Sahyog Sankul, Sector 11, Gandhinagar – 382010 — phone (079) 232-58659, email inforera@gujarat.gov.in. Most filings happen online through the GujRERA portal, with the office handling hard-copy sets, hearings and offline submissions.
Do real estate agents in Ahmedabad need separate RERA registration?
Yes. Under Section 9, any agent facilitating the sale or purchase of a unit in a registered project needs their own registration with GujRERA, regardless of whether they also hold a state real estate broker licence or professional membership elsewhere.
How long does GujRERA take to process a registration application?
The Authority is required to grant or reject an application within 30 days under Section 5. If it does neither within that period, the project is treated as registered by default, subject to the promoter accepting the standard conditions.
What happens if a promoter sells units before registering the project?
It is a default under Section 59, carrying a penalty of up to 10% of the estimated project cost, with imprisonment of up to 3 years or a further fine possible if the promoter continues to disregard the Authority’s order to register.
Can I verify a project’s RERA registration before booking a unit?
Yes, through the project search function on the official GujRERA portal, which shows the registration number, promoter details, sanctioned layout, and disclosures filed since registration.
How do I file a complaint with GujRERA against a builder or agent?
Through the portal with a Citizen login: Form A before the Authority for contraventions of the Act generally, or Form B before the Adjudicating Officer for compensation claims under Sections 12, 14, 18 and 19, each with a Rs 1,000 filing fee. Orders can be appealed to the Gujarat Real Estate Appellate Tribunal within 60 days.
Does GIFT City fall under GujRERA, or is it treated separately because of its SEZ status?
GIFT City real estate development sits within Gujarat and the same Act applies to any qualifying project; SEZ status affects tax and customs treatment, not RERA applicability. Any project-specific question here is worth confirming directly against current GIFT City and GUDA planning notifications given the June 2024 transfer of the GIFT City expansion zone’s planning authority from GIFT UDA to GUDA.
Is a chartered accountant required anywhere in the RERA process?
Yes, specifically for certifying withdrawals from a project’s separate escrow account. The Gujarat Regulations require withdrawal certification proportionate to construction progress from a project architect, project engineer and a chartered accountant in practice, in prescribed formats, before funds can be released for that stage of the project.
