Here’s a breakdown of the biggest changes, what they mean for you, and how to stay compliant in the new landscape.
🆕 1. RERA 2.0 Brings National-Level Standardization
Until now, RERA rules varied significantly from state to state, leading to confusion and loopholes. In 2025, the central government launched “RERA 2.0 Framework”, aiming to unify:
-
Project registration timelines
-
Grievance redressal periods
-
Penalty structures for builders and agents
-
Escrow account usage rules
🔔 New rule: Builders must now deposit 75% of project funds in escrow accounts across all states, not just select ones.
✅ Why it matters: More accountability for builders = safer investments for buyers.
🧾 2. Mandatory Agent Re-Certification Launched
If you're a real estate agent, this one’s for you.
Starting June 2025, all registered agents must undergo re-certification every 3 years, including:
-
A basic compliance test
-
Submission of recent transaction records
-
Proof of no ongoing consumer complaints
📅 Deadline: November 30, 2025 for all currently registered agents
🔎 RealtyBlocks' dashboard will soon allow agents to upload and verify their RERA credentials digitally, making compliance simple and trackable.
🔍 3. Improved Transparency in Project Delays
One of the most frustrating issues for buyers? Delayed projects with no clear updates. The 2025 update mandates:
-
Monthly progress reports uploaded to the RERA portal by developers
-
Visual media (photos/videos) of construction progress
-
Delays beyond 90 days must include an explanation and revised delivery date
🛠️ Non-compliance leads to automatic penalties of ₹5 lakh per month of non-reporting.
📢 4. Buyers Can Now Report Directly via WhatsApp & App
Yes, you read that right. In a move to digitize grievance redressal, RERA has:
-
Launched a national complaint portal & mobile app
-
Enabled WhatsApp-based complaint tracking
-
Integrated with DigiLocker for document sharing
🙌 This makes the complaint process 80% faster and completely transparent for buyers.
🏘️ 5. Project Ratings System Introduced (Beta Phase)
In select states (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka), RERA is now piloting a project star-rating system, based on:
-
On-time delivery history
-
Legal compliance
-
Construction quality audits
-
Customer satisfaction ratings
⭐ This will help buyers easily identify trustworthy projects and builders—like a “TripAdvisor for property.”
💡 What This Means for You:
🏠 Buyers:
-
Greater legal protection & real-time project updates
-
Faster resolution for complaints
-
Access to builder/project credibility before you invest
🧑💼 Agents:
-
Stay certified, stay trusted

-

Embrace digital-first customer experience or risk being left behind
