The rules, Extension of Registration of Real Estate Project by the Goa Real Estate Regulatory Authority Regulation, 2021, give guidelines to prolong the validity period already allowed for the completion of the real estate project.

Real estate companies will have to get all other permissions and extensions before they approach Goa RERA for an extension.

The extension may be viewed, which shall in aggregate not exceed one year. Extension of more than a year will be determined on a case by case basis.
