New RERA Updates 2025: What Every Buyer, Seller & Agent Needs to Know

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.”
