Vision Realtors is a WBRERA-registered real estate agent under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

What is RERA?

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) is a central legislation enacted to protect home-buyer interests and ensure transparency in real estate transactions. Under RERA, every state established its own Regulatory Authority — for West Bengal, this is the West Bengal Real Estate Regulatory Authority (WBRERA).

RERA makes it mandatory for developers to register their real-estate projects (residential and commercial, on land ≥ 500 sqm or with ≥ 8 apartments) before advertising, marketing, or selling. It also imposes disclosure norms, dispute resolution mechanisms, and standardised sale-agreement templates.

For Kolkata buyers, the WBRERA portal is the single source of truth for verifying that a project is legally registered, the promoter is genuine, and the construction timeline is enforceable.

How to Verify a Project on WBRERA

01

Locate the project on WBRERA

Visit the official West Bengal RERA portal at rera.wb.gov.in (WBRERA section) and search by project name, promoter name, or registration number.

02

Verify registration number format

A project number follows the format WBRERA/P/<district>/YYYY/NNNNNN, where P = Project, the district code is the registering district (KOL Kolkata, NOR North 24 Parganas, SOU South 24 Parganas, HOO Hooghly, …) and YYYY = registration year.

03

Check promoter and approval status

Confirm the promoter (developer) name matches, and that the project status is "Registered" or "Active" - not "Suspended" or "Revoked".

04

Download sanctioned plans

RERA mandates developers upload sanctioned building plans, layout, and specifications. Download and verify these match what you were promised.

05

Verify possession timeline

The registration shows the declared completion date. If the developer misses it without valid cause, you are entitled to compensation.

Always verify the registration number on the WBRERA portal — a project can quote a number that has been suspended, revoked, or never registered under that exact district. Treat any mismatch with the portal record as a red flag.
