RERA Karnataka: How to Verify Prestige Parklane

A registration number in a brochure proves very little, because numbers can be quoted loosely, mistyped or borrowed from another phase. The portal shows the live entry, including the promoter, the approvals, the declared dates and the documents filed with the application.

It also shows what has changed since registration, through the quarterly progress updates the promoter is obliged to file.

• Step 1: open rera.karnataka.gov.in and go to the registered projects search.
• Step 2: search for the project name, or paste the number PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/150926/008941.
• Step 3: open the project page and confirm the promoter, the approving authority and the declared completion date.
• Step 4: read the filed documents, including the title papers and the encumbrance certificate.
• Step 5: check the quarterly progress updates once construction begins on 1 October 2026.

The number itself carries information, and one segment matters more than the rest. In PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/150926/008941, the PR confirms this is a project registration rather than an agent licence, which would read AG.

The digits that follow, 150926, encode the date the registration was granted, 15 September 2026. If someone quotes you a number where that segment reads AG, you are looking at an agent's licence rather than a registered project.

Registration is not a quality rating, and it is worth being precise about what it does and does not do. What it provides is a set of enforceable obligations on the promoter.

• Escrow: 70 per cent of buyer payments go into a dedicated account that can fund only this project.
• Certified withdrawals: a chartered accountant, the architect and the engineer must certify progress before money is drawn.
• A binding date: delay beyond 31 December 2030 obliges the developer to pay interest to buyers.
• Carpet area: homes are sold on the RERA-defined carpet area rather than a loaded super built-up figure.
• Plan changes: altering the sanctioned plan requires the consent of two thirds of buyers.
• Defect liability: structural defects must be rectified for five years after handover.

Beyond the headline fields, the filing carries the promoter's own paperwork. Apex Realty Management has filed audited financial statements and income tax returns for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25. The filing also carries a chartered accountant's certificate in Form 1, an architect's in Form 2 and an engineer's in Form 3.

There is also a sworn affidavit declaring no litigation on the land, property or khata. That is a promoter declaration made under oath rather than an independent title search, so a lawyer's review still has value.

• Confirm the number on the portal matches the one on your allotment letter and agreement.
• Check that the promoter named in your documents is Apex Realty Management Private Limited.
• Read the declared completion date, and make sure any date you are told verbally matches it.
• Note that the registration covers the residential phase, not the 20.36-acre enterprise estate.
• Ask for the sanctioned plan by its reference number rather than as a render.

Registration details can be checked again at every milestone, from booking to agreement to possession. The quarterly updates make that worthwhile, because they show whether the build is tracking the declared dates.
