The authority said it has taken note of misleading advertisements for unapproved projects and directed promoters to stop all pre-launch promotions. Prospective buyers must verify a project's RERA registration certificate, number, website, and site address on the authority's portal. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, marketing or selling units in an unregistered project is a punishable offence, and agents facilitating such deals without registration face legal action. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Gurugram, HARERA, Real Estate Act 2016, RERA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/harera-warns-against-buying-in-unregistered-gurugram-projects/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
