What should you know about rera in west bengal: where things stand (2026)?

PropyMart's developer project database tracks RERA registration status across West Bengal. As of 2026: 4321 projects are RERA-approved and only 157 projects are non-RERA — a compliance ratio that reflects the strength of the West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Authority (WBHIRA, the state's RERA counterpart) since enforcement began.

What should you know about step 1: verify the rera/hira registration number?

Every project above 500 sqm or 8 units must have a WBHIRA registration number. Ask the developer for it and verify it on the WBHIRA portal (hira.wb.gov.in). The portal shows: project size, possession date committed, units sold vs unsold, and any show-cause orders issued.

What should you know about step 2: check the escrow fund balance?

Under RERA, developers must deposit 70% of buyer receipts into a project-specific escrow account. The HIRA portal shows the current escrow balance for registered projects. A project with low escrow relative to units sold (and possession still pending) is a red flag for potential fund diversion.
