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.

Goa RERA will charge Rs 10 per sq m of the land planned to be developed with a minimum of Rs 50,000 and a maximum of Rs 10 lakh for extending the project completion deadline.

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.
