What the circular requires

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Chennai-8, issued the circular dated 7 May 2025 to require a display board for every real estate project, including buildings and layouts. The circular does not print a separate circular or order number.

A promoter must install the board at the project site after obtaining registration from the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority. It must be placed next to the public road so that the project information is visible from the site frontage.

Who is affected

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority requirement applies directly to promoters of all registered real estate building and layout projects. Engineers and architects connected with these projects also have a role because one of them must certify the proof that the board has been installed.

Scrutiny officials are expected to check compliance before the completion report is issued. A related condition may also be included in Form-C.

Display board requirements

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority circular specifies that the display board must:

  • Be at least 2 feet x 4 feet in size.
  • Be installed at the project site abutting the public road.
  • Be a separate board, rather than part of another display board.
  • Use a readable font size.
  • State the name of the promoter.
  • State the name of the project.
  • Provide the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority registration details.
  • State the completion date recorded in the registration.
  • Provide the website address of the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority.

Proof and completion checks

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority circular requires proof of installation to be certified by an engineer or architect connected with the project. Site photographs must accompany that certification.

Before issuing the completion report, compliance may be checked by requiring the engineer's or architect's certificate. Promoters should therefore retain the certification and photographs as evidence that the required board was installed.

Why it matters to buyers and owners

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority display board gives visitors direct access to the project's promoter name, registration details and registered completion date. A buyer visiting a project site can use these details and the authority's website address to identify the registered project information.
