What the proceedings change

Proceedings No. TNRERA/A3/2253/2025-2 amends paragraphs 3(i) and 3(ii) of the advertisement directions issued through Proceedings No. TNRERA/A3/2253/2025 dated 4 August 2025. The amended requirements cover newspaper, magazine, website, multipage and classified advertisements for real estate projects.

The directions state that they come into force with immediate effect.

Newspaper, magazine and website advertisements

Advertisements in newspapers, magazines or on websites must contain:

  • The TNRERA registration number.
  • The QR code of Form-C.
  • The website address of the Authority.

The TNRERA registration number, QR code and Authority website address should preferably be displayed at the top right corner of the advertisement. The earlier wording allowed these details at the top or bottom, on either the left or right corner.

The minimum font requirements remain:

  • At least twelve for an advertisement occupying a quarter page or more than a quarter page of a newspaper.
  • At least eight for an advertisement occupying less than a quarter page.

Multipage advertisements

For an advertisement for a real estate project that runs for more than one page, the TNRERA registration number and the Authority website address must be placed at the top right side of the first page.

The earlier direction required the specified details to be given on every page. The amended wording instead identifies the first page and its top right side for the registration number and website address.

Classified advertisements

Classified newspaper advertisements must mention the Authority website address together with the RERA registration number.

Where one classified advertisement covers multiple real estate projects:

  • The RERA registration number must be stated separately for every project.
  • The Authority website address must be placed at an appropriate location in the advertisement.

Who should check compliance

The amended directions are relevant to anyone preparing, approving or publishing newspaper, magazine, website or classified advertisements for real estate projects. Property buyers can use the displayed registration number, Form-C QR code and Authority website address when reviewing project advertisements.
