How to Check a Project’s HRERA Registration in Gurugram

Updated October 18, 2026

Before you pay a booking amount for a flat in Gurugram, check that the project is registered with the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA). The check is free and takes about ten minutes. This guide shows how to do it on haryanarera.gov.in, how to read what you find, and what to verify beyond RERA.

Which authority covers Gurugram?

Haryana has two RERA authorities, Gurugram and Panchkula. The Gurugram authority’s rules apply to registered projects across the whole Gurugram district. After you open haryanarera.gov.in, pick the Gurugram authority. If you pick Panchkula, a Gurugram project will not show up.

Step-by-step: searching for a registered project

Open haryanarera.gov.in and choose the Gurugram authority.
Go to the project section and open Registered Projects. The Gurugram page also lists Lapsed Projects, Defaulter/Cancelled/Suspended/Abeyance Projects, Project Status and a Project Cause List.
Search by project name, registration number, promoter name or location.
Open the result and read the full entry before you decide anything.

Menu labels and layout can change, so follow what the live site shows. If you are stuck, the portal says its Help Desk handles queries on complaints and project registration.

Use the registration number if you can

Ask the seller for the RERA number in writing. Gurugram numbers appear in more than one format. Examples seen on public listings include “RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/…” and the older “GGM/393/125/2020/09” style. Searching by number avoids mix-ups between projects with similar names.

What the project page shows

Each project has its own page on the portal. The Quarterly Progress Report regulations describe a separate webpage for every project, which the promoter fills in at the end of every quarter. In the listing, the entry carries the registration certificate number and date, and a “Lapsed Project” tag where that applies. Entries also link to quarterly progress and monitoring orders.

When you open the certificate and project details, check these points:

Validity dates. One practitioner guide advises confirming the registration is active and checking the “valid up to” date.
Phase or tower. Make sure the tower or phase you are buying is the one that is registered, because part of a township may be registered rather than all of it.
Promoter name. Match it with the name on your allotment letter or builder-buyer agreement.
Declared completion date. This is the date the promoter gave the regulator. Compare it with what the sales team tells you.
Licence number. You will need it for the DTCP check below.

Read the quarterly progress reports

The reports compare planned and actual progress. The rules require promoters to set physical and financial targets and then report against them each quarter, and the information is open to public view once uploaded. If the portal shows “QPR not uploaded” for a project, as it does for some entries, ask the promoter why. Compare the stated progress with what you see on site.

Extensions: what to know

A project’s registration can be extended, and you may see this on older projects. The law sets limits, so do not read an extension as proof of a healthy project.

Under Section 6, the authority may extend registration on a promoter’s application in cases of force majeure. Force majeure means a natural calamity such as war, flood, drought, fire, cyclone or earthquake that affects regular development.
In other reasonable circumstances where the promoter is not at fault, the authority can extend for reasons recorded in writing, up to one year in aggregate.
An extension is not an automatic right. It also does not remove a buyer’s right to claim interest or compensation under Section 18 for delay.
Section 7(3) gives the authority discretion to keep a registration in force instead of revoking it. Treat that as a sign of trouble, not comfort.

I could not confirm how HRERA Gurugram shows extension orders on each project page. Ask the promoter for the extension order and check its date against the registration certificate. A commercial guide says the HARERA listing often notes completion status and any extensions. Do not assume that is always the case.

Red-flag lists on the portal

Check the Lapsed and Defaulter/Cancelled/Suspended lists for your project and its promoter. A project that appears on these lists needs a clear written explanation before you commit any money. Also confirm that the promoter has registered the project before advertising or taking bookings. A seller who cannot give a registration number is a problem in itself.

Filing a complaint with HRERA Gurugram

If you are already a buyer and things go wrong, the portal has a Complaint Registration tab. Steps in the authority’s own guidance include:

Read the HRERA complaint-filing regulations first.
After you submit the online form you get a complaint number, which you use for all later correspondence.
The fee stated in that guide is Rs 1,000 per complaint plus Rs 10 per annexure, payable by demand draft or the online payment gateway.

Third-party guides add more steps. These include printing the form, serving a copy on the builder by speed post and email, and delivering hard copies to the office. Such guides can be years old, and the exact filing steps may have changed. Confirm them against the current regulations and the portal before you file. You can track a case under the Complaint Registration menu using “Search Complaint”. The portal also publishes cause lists with hearing dates. The portal now lists mediation and dispute resolution forum regulations from 2024, so ask the authority whether mediation applies to your dispute. For anything involving large sums, consider speaking to a lawyer.

Go beyond RERA: the DTCP licence

RERA registration does not replace the land and building approvals. The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) Haryana grants the colony licence. The licence number should appear on the RERA certificate, the builder-buyer agreement and the sanctioned layout plan.

Take the licence number from the RERA certificate.
Verify it on the department’s official website, and match the licence number, developer name, village, sector and area with what you were told. The portal named in one guide is tcpharyana.gov.in.
A licence covers a specific land parcel, so confirm your tower or plot falls inside it and inside the approved layout.
Check validity. An expired, unrenewed or cancelled licence is a red flag.
If the licensee is not the company selling to you, ask for the approved collaboration or transfer papers.

A brochure saying “DTCP approved” proves nothing. Only the official record, matched to your unit, does.

Ready homes: check the occupation certificate

For a completed or nearly completed project, ask for the occupation certificate (OC). One guide describes it as the document certifying a building is fit to live in and built according to the approved plan. Which office issues it can depend on the type of property, so ask the seller which authority issued yours. Then check:

A genuine OC should carry a memo number, the issuing department’s letterhead, the project licence number, the issue date and a clear description of the towers it covers.
OCs are often issued tower by tower or phase by phase, so one tower’s OC does not cover another.
The licence number on the OC should match the DTCP record and the HRERA certificate.
If you doubt the document, you can go to the relevant office, such as the Town and Country Planning Department in Gurugram, to verify it.

This matters because oversight has been questioned. One news report says DTCP and the state flying squad are auditing about 1,500 occupation certificates issued between July 2025 and March 2026. The report focuses on certain plotted-colony buildings, and I could not independently confirm the details. It is still a good reason to check the paper, not just the seller’s word.

Quick checklist

Land licence	DTCP Haryana records	Licence is valid and covers your land
OC (ready homes)	Issuing office and the document itself	Covers your tower, licence number matches

Next steps

Save screenshots or PDFs of the registration page and certificate on the day you check, because pages can change. If something does not match, pause and ask in writing. Get legal advice before paying if the answers stay unclear.
