How to check a project on GujRERA in four steps

September 2026 · 4 min read

Any project being sold in Gujarat above the statutory size threshold has to be registered with the state regulator, and that register is open to the public. Most people never look.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 created a state authority in every state and required promoters to register their projects before advertising or selling. In Gujarat that authority is GujRERA, and its register sits at gujrera.gujarat.gov.in.

Step 1 — Get the registration number

Every registered project has one, and the promoter is required to display it in advertisements and on the project's own material. If a brochure, hoarding or website does not show a registration number, that is itself information worth having.

You do not strictly need the number to search — you can search by project name, promoter name or district — but having it removes any doubt that you are looking at the right project.

Step 2 — Find the project on the register

Open the authority's website and go to the section listing registered projects. Search by the registration number if you have it, otherwise by project name and district. Similar project names are common, so check the promoter name matches what you were told before you read further.

Step 3 — Read the four things that matter

The project page carries a great deal. Four items carry most of the useful signal:

• The promoter's legal name. The brand on the hoarding and the entity on the register are often different. The entity on the register is the one you would be contracting with.
• The declared completion date. This is the date the promoter committed to the authority, not a marketing estimate.
• The land details. Survey or TP and final plot numbers, and the area. This tells you exactly which piece of land is registered — useful when a large scheme is registered in phases.
• The approvals on record. Which permissions have been obtained and which are still pending.

Step 4 — Open the quarterly progress report

This is the step almost everyone skips, and it is the most revealing one. Registered promoters have to file progress updates with the authority through the life of the project. Reading the last few filings tells you whether construction is moving at the pace the completion date assumes — and whether the promoter is filing at all.

A project with current filings and steady progress reads very differently from one where the last filing is a year old.

What the register does not tell you

Registration is not a quality certificate and not a government endorsement. It means the promoter has filed the required information and accepted the Act's obligations. It says nothing about construction quality, the reasonableness of the price, or whether the project will finish on time.

It also reflects what was filed. Records can be out of date or contain errors. Where something matters to a decision, verify it with the authority directly and take your own professional advice.
