A real estate CRM that helps you stay RERA-aligned
RERA changed what Indian developers and agents have to prove. Registered projects, registered agents, agreements for sale before money changes hands, quarterly disclosures, and records ready whenever the Authority asks. Spreadsheets and a generic CRM make that hard to keep straight, and the penalties for getting it wrong are real. AIRE is built to keep the records and disclosures RERA expects organized and audit-ready, so your team works inside the rules instead of scrambling to reconstruct them.
What is a RERA-compliant real estate CRM? Software that helps Indian developers and registered agents organize the records, documents, and disclosures the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 expects: project-wise inventory, allotment and agreement-for-sale documents, milestone-linked demand letters, quarterly project status, and audit-ready logs. It helps you stay aligned and inspection-ready. It does not replace your legal obligations, which stay with you and your CA.
What RERA actually asks of you
RERA puts specific, checkable duties on promoters and agents. A few that touch day-to-day sales:
- The 70% account (Section 4). Seventy percent of the money collected from buyers on a project goes into a separate bank account, used only for that project's construction and land cost, with withdrawals certified by your engineer, architect, and CA.
- The 10% rule (Section 13). You cannot take more than ten percent of a unit's cost as advance before a written agreement for sale is signed and registered.
- Agent registration (Sections 9 and 10). Agents must register with the state RERA before working a registered project, and keep books and records for each project.
- Quarterly updates (Section 11). Project status, units booked, and approvals are disclosed on the state RERA portal every quarter.
- Penalties (Sections 59 to 63). Non-registration can cost up to ten percent of project cost; unregistered agents face ₹10,000 a day. The liability sits with you, which is why audit-ready records matter.
The job of the CRM is to make the records behind all of this organized and retrievable, so meeting these duties is routine rather than a fire drill.
How AIRE helps you keep RERA records audit-ready
- Project-wise inventory and booking records. Every unit tracked as available, blocked, or booked, the same view your quarterly disclosure draws on.
- Documents organized per project and buyer. Store brochures, agreements, and other paperwork in the project's folder and against each buyer, so the paper trail is complete and retrievable.
- Transaction and payment records. Each booking carries its token, total, pending amount, payment mode, buyer and bank details, and possession date, with a logged history, so what was collected and when is on record.
- Collections tagged per project. Every expense and payment recorded against the right project and listing, so your finance team and CA have clean numbers ready for the 70%-account reconciliation they handle.
- A complete audit trail. Every interaction, communication, and booking change is logged, the paper trail you want in front of you in any RERA inquiry or buyer dispute.
- Possession and timeline tracking. Committed possession dates recorded against actuals, so delays are visible and disclosable.
Keep your channel partners registered, too
Under RERA, an agent has to be registered before working a registered project, and the liability for using an unregistered one can land on you. AIRE stores each channel partner's RERA registration number and validity alongside their leads and deals, so you can see at a glance that the people selling your project are registered. (See channel-partner management.)
RERA is not the same in every state
RERA is a central law, but each state runs its own authority, portal, and rules: MahaRERA in Maharashtra, UP-RERA in Uttar Pradesh, K-RERA in Karnataka, and so on. Disclosure formats and quarterly fields differ. AIRE helps you keep the underlying records organized so your team can prepare what your state's RERA portal asks for, rather than forcing one rigid format. More than 1.2 lakh real estate projects have been registered with state RERAs since 2017 (PropEquity, reported 2025), so this is the environment almost every Indian developer now operates in.
A note on what software can and cannot do
AIRE helps you organize records and stay aligned with RERA. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace your obligations as a promoter or registered agent. Project registration, the 70% separate account and its certified withdrawals, registered agreements for sale, and quarterly portal updates remain your responsibility, handled with your CA and legal team. AIRE keeps the records behind them audit-ready.

Do my channel partners need to be RERA registered?
Yes. Under Sections 9 and 10, agents must register with the state RERA before facilitating sales in a registered project. AIRE records each partner's registration number and validity so you transact through registered agents.
Does RERA work the same in every state?
