RERA project registration fees in Rajasthan are charged per square metre of land and vary by project type: ₹5-10/sq.m for group housing (capped at ₹5 lakh), ₹10-15/sq.m for mixed development (capped at ₹10 lakh), ₹20-25/sq.m for commercial projects (capped at ₹10 lakh), and ₹5/sq.m for plotted development (capped at ₹2 lakh). Real estate agents pay a flat ₹10,000 (individuals) or ₹50,000 (firms/companies).
Most developers and agents in Rajasthan discover the real cost of RERA registration only after they've already started the application, by which point a miscalculated fee can delay the whole process. That's usually because the fee isn't a flat, one-size number. It depends on your project type, the land area involved, and, for plotted development, a rule that changed in 2023 and still catches people off guard.
This guide lays out the complete RERA registration fees applicable in Rajasthan today, covering both project (promoter) fees and agent fees, so you can calculate your exact cost before you file and understand where the caps, extra charges, and renewal fees fit in.
RERA registration is the mandatory approval a promoter must obtain from the Rajasthan Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RajRERA) before advertising, marketing, or selling any unit in a real estate project. RajRERA is the state body set up under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and it operates from Jaipur.
Two distinct groups pay registration fees, and the fee structure for each is different:
Ongoing projects that hadn't received a completion certificate when RERA came into force also had to register, under the same fee rules described below.
Under Rule 3(3) of the Rajasthan RERA Rules, 2017, the registration fee is calculated per square metre of land proposed to be developed. The rate increases once the area crosses 1,000 square metres, and each project category has its own fee cap.
Applies to projects combining residential and commercial use on the same land.
If you're evaluating a project like the ones in our commercial property in Jaipur buying guide, this is the fee slab the developer would have paid at registration.
This is the slab most relevant to buyers of residential plots, including JDA-approved layouts in Jaipur, where the layout itself must be RERA-registered before individual plots can be sold.
From August 1, 2023, RajRERA began charging an additional standard fee on plotted development projects, on top of the base ₹5 per sq. m registration fee. This applies to private developer schemes as well as layouts launched by government bodies such as the JDA, UIT, RIICO, or the Rajasthan Housing Board.
Registrations completed before July 31, 2023 were charged only the base registration fee, without this standard fee. If an older project's registration cost looks lower than a newer one of similar size, this is usually why.
A worked example makes the calculation easier to follow than the rate table alone.
Group housing project on 1,500 sq. m in Jaipur:
Plotted residential layout of 4,000 sq. m registered after August 2023:
The caps mainly come into play on very large projects. Once the calculated fee crosses the cap for that category, the promoter pays only the capped amount, regardless of the actual land area.
Real estate agents in Rajasthan pay a flat registration fee under Rule 10 of the Rajasthan RERA Rules, 2017, based on how the agent is constituted, not on transaction volume or project size.
This registration is mandatory before an agent can legally facilitate the sale of any RERA-registered project or plot.
Agent registration isn't permanent and must be renewed periodically. Renewal fees are lower than the initial registration fee:
Renewal applications should be filed at least three months before the existing registration expires, to avoid a gap in valid registration.
Beyond the core registration and agent fees, promoters should account for two situational charges.
If a promoter withdraws a project registration application within 30 days of filing, as permitted under Section 5 of the Act, RajRERA retains a processing fee equal to whichever is higher:
The remaining amount is refunded to the promoter within 30 days of the withdrawal.
If a project's registration validity needs to be extended, the fee payable is equivalent to half of the original registration fee calculated under Rule 3(3).
Registration fees can be paid by demand draft, a banker's cheque drawn on a scheduled bank, or through the online payment option on the RajRERA portal.
The general steps are:
Since procedural steps can change, it's worth confirming the current process on the official RajRERA website before making payment.
RERA registration fees in Rajasthan follow a clear, rule-based structure, but the exact number depends on your project category, land area, and, for plotted development, whether the 2023 standard fee applies. Working through the calculation before you file rather than after is what actually saves time and avoids a rejected or delayed application.
If you're evaluating a project or plot in Jaipur, checking its RERA registration status is a useful first step before you commit to anything further. You can browse RERA-registered new projects in Jaipur currently listed on SearchAbode to see how this plays out in practice.
Only partially, and only if you formally withdraw within 30 days of filing. RajRERA retains 5% of the fee or ₹25,000, whichever is higher, and refunds the rest within 30 days.
No. Projects on less than 500 sq. m of land, or with fewer than 9 apartments across all phases, are generally exempt, as are projects that already have a completion certificate.
No. It covers a fixed validity period, after which agents must pay a separate, lower renewal fee to continue operating legally.
No. The fee under Rule 3(3) and Rule 10 is the statutory registration charge only; it doesn't include unrelated taxes like GST on construction services.
It's based on the total area of land proposed to be developed, as declared in the registration application, not the built-up or carpet area of individual units.
No. The per-sq.-m rate applies regardless of project size; only the upper cap changes once the calculated fee crosses that limit.
