Gujarat RERA's New Display Rules Now Live: Boosting Buyer Transparency at Sites
Gujarat RERA launched its significant order on November 28. It came into effect on December 1, 2025. Builders now need to display large information boards at every project entrance. These boards contain essential details right where buyers can easily see them. No more searching through websites.
What the Boards Must Show
Potential homebuyers can see everything clearly without any fuss. The boards include:
- RERA registration number and project specifications.
- Get approved plans and amenities.
- RERA collection bank account details.
- Details regarding project loans, including financing status and the involved bank.
- A scannable QR code that links directly to full RERA data.
A new change came on December 20, 2025. Order 112-A removed the exact loan amount from the board. Developers opposed sharing sensitive figures publicly. However, buyers can still find out if loans exist and the name of the lender. For detailed figures, simply scan the QR code or visit the RERA site.
Strict Rules on Board Setup
Gujarat RERA established strict specifications to ensure the boards are durable and noticeable. Here’s a summary:
- Size: 2m wide by 1.2m tall.
- Height from ground: 1.5m to 2m.
- Material: Waterproof to withstand all weather conditions.
- Letters: Bold 2.5cm high for easy reading.
- Placement: Right at the entrance, visible to everyone.
Builders should upload geotagged photos of these boards in their quarterly reports. Failure to do so results in penalties under the Real Estate Act, 2016.
Why This Matters for Buyers and Builders
You reach a site and instantly get the basics. Key details are clear, and a quick QR scan shows everything else; no more digging through portals. With RERA, access to project info has become fast and simple. Buyers don’t waste time anymore.
Builders are relieved that loan figures aren’t on display, yet transparency hasn’t taken a hit. QR codes now do the heavy lifting, helping buyers check details, spot risks, and decide quicker. Sites today feel more like info zones than just construction spaces.
Impact on Gujarat's Market
This move pushes the entire sector towards greater transparency. Trust from homebuyers is increasing. Projects benefit from clear displays. Non-compliant projects? They'll be easily identified. Developers who get it right gain advantages in a selective market.
Gujarat is setting the pace in India regarding RERA enhancements. Others are paying close attention. For buyers, it’s a victory. Access to information is simplified. For the industry, it's a prompt to operate fairly.
