Developers and promoters are solely responsible for ensuring that all projects requiring registration under Section 3 of RERA are fully registered with the state Real Estate Regulatory Authority before public advertisement.
The display of any project, venture, floor plan, or brochure on Yards & Acres does not constitute a representation by the Platform that the project holds a valid RERA registration. Any badge labeled “Verified Developer” or “Verified Listing” signifies solely that the advertiser completed our internal baseline contact and identity onboarding protocols, not that the project has been vetted or endorsed by any governmental authority.
