How does RERA require carpet area to be disclosed?
How does RERA require carpet area to be disclosed? The West Bengal Real Estate Regulatory Authority (WBRERA) governs this through the RERA Act as adopted in the state, with rera.wb.gov.in as the operative portal for registrations, quarterly progress filings and complaints.
RERA in West Bengal covers every residential project above 8 units or 500 sq m: registration before marketing, 70% of buyer collections into a project escrow, quarterly progress updates, and carpet-area-based pricing disclosure. For buyers, the practical protections are the refund-with-interest right on delay and the ban on plan changes without written consent.
RealtyIQ operates as a WBRERA-registered channel partner (WBRERA/RA/NOR/2026/000189) and lists only projects with verifiable registration numbers. The RERA guide on the site walks through verification, complaint filing and the buyer-protection rules in plain language.
