If you are planning to buy a plot, land, apartment, or property in Jharkhand, it is important to verify the project’s RERA registration details before making any payment.

The Jharkhand Real Estate Regulatory Authority (JHARERA) provides an online facility where buyers can search for registered real estate projects using the RERA Project Registration Number, Project Name, or Address.

This tutorial explains how to check a JHARERA-registered project and download the available official project documents.

Step 1: Visit the Official JHARERA Website

Open the official JHARERA website

Always make sure that you are using the official JHARERA website and not a third-party website.

Step 2: Go to Registered Projects

On the JHARERA homepage, look for the Quick Search section.

Click on: Registered Projects

This section allows you to search for projects registered with JHARERA.

Step 3: Open the Online Registered Projects List

After clicking Registered Projects, you will find the registered project search page.

Select:Online Registered Projects

The page provides a search facility for registered projects.

Step 4: Enter the RERA Project Registration Number

On the registered project page, you will find a search option such as:

Search By – Project Registration No., Project Name, Address

If you already have the RERA number provided by the builder or seller, enter the exact RERA Project Registration Number in the search box.

For example:

JHARERA/PROJECT/XXX/20XX

Make sure that the number is entered correctly.

Then click the Search option.

Step 5: Check the Search Result

After searching, the JHARERA portal will display the matching project information.

Check the following details carefully:

• RERA Registration Number
• Registration Date
• Project Name
• Project Address
• Location
• Promoter/Developer details
• Remarks, if any

Make sure that the information shown on JHARERA matches the information provided by the builder or seller.

Step 6: Click on “View Profile”

Once you find the correct project, click on:

View Profile

This will open the project’s detailed JHARERA record.

Do not rely only on the search result. Open the complete project profile and verify the available information.

Step 7: Check the Project Details

Inside the project profile, carefully review the available project information and documents.

If you are purchasing a plot or land, pay special attention to:

• Project name
• Promoter/developer name
• Project address
• Project location
• Project land details
• Plot/unit information
• Approved layout plan
• Number of plots
• Development approvals
• Project registration details
• Registration validity
• Extensions, if any
• Project updates
• Other documents uploaded by the promoter

Step 8: Download the Available Documents

Look for the available documents or PDF files inside the project profile.

Where a View or Download option is available, open the document and save a copy.

You should download and keep important project documents for your records.

Create a separate folder on your computer, for example:

JHARERA – [Project Name]

You can save the downloaded documents inside this folder.

Step 9: Verify the Information With the Seller’s Documents

After downloading the JHARERA project documents, compare the information with the documents provided by the seller or builder.

Pay particular attention to:

Project Name:
Does it match?

Promoter Name:
Does the developer/seller match the registered promoter?

Project Location:
Does the registered project location match the actual property?

Plot Number:
Does the plot you are purchasing correspond with the approved/project documents?

Land/Plot Details:
Do the relevant land details match?

Layout Plan:
Does the plot appear in the approved layout/project documentation?

If you find any significant mismatch, do not ignore it. Ask the seller/developer for clarification and obtain the relevant supporting documents.

Step 10: Check the Land Records Separately

JHARERA verification should not be your only verification when purchasing land.

You should also verify the relevant land records through the appropriate government records, including Jharbhoomi, where applicable.

Check details such as:

• Khata number
• Plot number
• Land area
• Recorded owner
• Land classification
• Mutation/record details
• Other relevant revenue information

The land records should be consistent with the property documents and the project information.

Step 11: Verify the Legal Documents

Before purchasing the property, also consider getting the following checked by a qualified property lawyer:

• Sale deed/title documents
• Previous ownership documents
• Encumbrance/mortgage status
• Mutation records
• Approved layout
• Land-use/conversion permissions, where applicable
• Development approvals
• Required local authority approvals
• Project-specific permissions
• Any litigation or dispute affecting the property

Important: RERA Registration Is Not the Same as Title Verification

Finding a project on JHARERA confirms that the project has a RERA registration record. However, RERA registration alone should not be treated as complete proof that an individual plot has a clear and marketable title.

If you are buying a specific plot, you should verify that the particular plot is actually covered by the registered project and that its ownership, land records, approvals, and legal status are satisfactory.

Quick Checklist Before Buying a Plot

Before making a significant payment, make sure you have checked:

☐ RERA registration number
☐ JHARERA project profile
☐ Project registration status
☐ Promoter/developer details
☐ Project address and location
☐ Approved layout plan
☐ Specific plot number
☐ Plot area
☐ Khata and land records
☐ Ownership/title documents
☐ Mutation/revenue records
☐ Encumbrance/mortgage status
☐ Required approvals
☐ Land-use/conversion status, where applicable
☐ Any relevant litigation or dispute
☐ Agreement/sale deed reviewed by a qualified professional

Official JHARERA Website

To verify a registered project, always use the official JHARERA website:

The registered project search facility allows users to search using the Project Registration Number, Project Name, or Address.

Conclusion

Checking the JHARERA registration is an important first step when purchasing a property in Jharkhand. If you already have the RERA Project Registration Number, you can use it to locate the project on the official JHARERA portal, open the project profile, review the available information, and download the relevant documents.

However, for a land or plot purchase, do not rely on the RERA number alone. Always compare the JHARERA project information with the actual plot documents, land records, approved layout, ownership documents, and other legal approvals before proceeding with the purchase.
