Form ‘A’, Application for Registration of Project

What the form governs

Form ‘A’, addressed to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, is the application for registration of a proposed real estate project. The applicant must identify the taluk, district and state where the project will be set up, provide the required particulars and declare that the information is correct to the applicant’s knowledge and belief.

Who must provide information

Form ‘A’ applies to applicants such as individuals, companies, proprietorship firms, societies, partnership firms and competent authorities. Depending on the applicant’s status, it seeks:

• Name, address, occupation, photograph and other identity details.
• Registration certificate and main objects of an organisation.
• Details of the chairman, partners, directors or governing body.
• PAN number and bank account information.
• Details of project land and approvals from competent authorities.
• Information about projects launched by the promoter during the previous five years, including completion status, delays, pending cases, land type and pending payments.
• The agency responsible for external development works.
• Registration fee payment details.

Documents required

Form ‘A’ requires supporting documents in triplicate. Key documents include:

• The promoter’s PAN card and audited balance sheet for the preceding financial year.
• The promoter’s title deed, or the landowner’s title documents and consent where the promoter does not own the land.
• Collaboration, development or joint development agreements, where applicable.
• Details of encumbrances and other rights or interests affecting the project land.
• Authenticated planning permission, building permit, sanctioned plan and relevant phase documents.
• Sanctioned plans, layout plans, specifications and proposed development works.

• Covered parking, open parking and undivided share details.
• Details of real estate agents, contractors, architects, engineers, consultants and other key professionals.

Why it matters

Form ‘A’ directly affects project promoters and the professionals supplying project information. For buyers and landowners, the required disclosures show that a registration application covers ownership, encumbrances, approvals, proposed sale documents, apartment areas, parking and the project’s professional team.
