Home Booking & Registration Guide – Documents, RERA Rules & Buyer Rights

Home registration is the final and most crucial step in the property buying process. In Telangana (including Hyderabad), registration ensures legal ownership, RERA compliance, and protection under state laws. This guide answers the most searched questions around home booking documents, registration process, RERA protections, and carpet area calculation to help you avoid legal pitfalls and hidden costs.


What Documents Are Required for Booking a Home?

When booking a flat or villa, the following documents are generally required:

  • Identity Proof (Aadhar, PAN, Passport)
  • Address Proof (Driving License, Utility Bill)
  • Passport-sized photographs
  • PAN Card (mandatory for financial transactions)
  • Booking application form and payment receipt

What Documents Are Needed for Home Registration in Telangana?

During the registration process, you must submit:

  • Sale Deed (executed and signed by both parties)
  • Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
  • Approved Building Plan & RERA Certificate
  • Tax Paid Receipts (Property & GHMC)
  • Khata/Patta documents (property ownership records)

When Should the Agreement of Sale Be Registered?
  • Register the agreement of sale immediately after paying the booking amount or first installment.
  • As per RERA norms, registration must happen within 4 months of execution.
  • Delays may incur penalties or legal complications during possession.

How is RERA Carpet Area Calculated?

Carpet Area under RERA = Net usable floor area of the apartment (including internal walls) excluding:

  • Balconies, terraces, open spaces
  • Common areas like lifts, lobby, staircase

Why it matters: Developers must sell property based on carpet area, not super built-up area, ensuring transparent pricing.


How Does RERA Protect a Home Buyer?

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) safeguards buyers by:

  • Mandating project registration and approvals before sale
  • Requiring 70% of funds to be kept in escrow for construction
  • Ensuring on-time possession; compensation for delays
  • Enforcing 5-year defect liability period post-possession
  • Protecting buyers against false advertising and misrepresentation

What Are RERA Provisions for Post-Possession Quality Issues?
  • Developers are liable for 5 years after possession to rectify structural defects or poor workmanship.
  • Buyers can file complaints with RERA if issues are not resolved.
  • Compensation or repairs must be provided within 30 days of complaint.
