Paste a GUJRERA registration number and this page tells you what every part of it means. GUJRERA is the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority, the state body that qualifying projects must register with. Then work through the eight checks below. The government portal is the authority here, and this page only makes the number readable.
The sample numbers above come from public listings and are shown only to demonstrate the format. Confirm any number live on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in before you rely on it. Reported
The eight checks, in order
Your ticks are saved on this device only, so you can work through a deal across several visits.
- Get the exact GUJRERA registration number in writing. The phrase RERA approved, on its own, means nothing.
- Search that number on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in under Project Search, district Ahmedabad, taluka Dhandhuka or Dholera.
- Match the promoter name, the approved layout and the expiry date against the brochure you were shown.
- Confirm the plot sits inside a sanctioned TP scheme, the government Town Planning layout that turns farmland into numbered building plots, and that it carries a Final Plot number of its own.
- Confirm non-agricultural status, the permission that makes building on the land legal. Sitting inside an approved TP scheme confers it.
- Pull the 30-year encumbrance certificate, which lists any loan or claim registered against the land, and the 7/12 extract, the Gujarat land record showing who owns it, from AnyROR Gujarat.
- Check that DSIRDA, the development authority for the region, has approved the layout for that specific survey number.
- Budget 4.9 percent stamp duty and 1 percent registration, paid at the Dhandhuka sub-registrar office.
Questions about checking a project
What does a real Dholera RERA number look like?
It runs PR/GJ/AHMEDABAD, then the taluka or DSIRDA, then the project type, then a unique code, then the registration date written as DDMMYY, and sometimes an expiry date after that. Projects inside Dholera SIR register under Ahmedabad district with Dhandhuka taluka, and newer ones carry the DHOLERA/DSIRDA tag.
Do all plot projects need RERA registration?
A plotted project larger than roughly 500 sq m, or with more than eight plots, has to be registered. A pure plotted layout with no construction promised does not always carry a number, but it still needs DSIRDA layout approval, non-agricultural status and a clear title. If the number is missing, that is a question to get answered, not a formality to wave through.
What are the documented red flags?
Farmland sold as though it were inside the SIR without non-agricultural status. Plots far outside the Activation Area, the roughly 22.5 sq km first phase, sold on the promises made for that first phase. Projects that claim to be RERA approved but cannot produce a number. Ownership chains that do not add up. Every one of these has been documented in this market, which is why the checklist exists.
