Compliance Check Methodology
Seemankan shows factual compliance flags for every CG-RERA project — sourced from public government records. No editorial scoring. Every flag is verifiable.
Overview
Each project is checked against 6 compliance criteria derived from the RERA Act. Every check produces a factual flag: ✓ Passed, ⚠ Warning, ✗ Issue, or — Not Available. Each flag links to its source on the CG-RERA portal.
Flag Statuses
Each compliance check results in one of four factual statuses. No subjective judgment is applied.
| Status | Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Passed | This compliance requirement is met based on publicly available CG-RERA data | |
| Warning | Potential concern found — review the linked source for details | |
| Issue | A compliance failure is recorded in official CG-RERA data | |
| Not Available | Data not available on the CG-RERA portal — no penalty applied, shown as informational |
Overall Compliance Status
Each project receives one of four overall compliance tiers based only on its RERA registration status and proposed completion date. Other compliance checks (orders, audits, quarterly updates) are shown in the project detail for homebuyers to review, but do not affect the overall tier.
| Tier | Icon | When Applied |
|---|---|---|
| Compliant | Compliant | Project is Completed; or registration is active (Ongoing, New, Extended) with proposed completion date in the future |
| Partial Compliance | Partial Compliance | Registration is still active (Ongoing, New, Extended) but the proposed completion date has passed — the project is overdue |
| Non-Compliant | Non-Compliant | Registration is Expired or Lapsed (completion date not yet passed or not available) |
| High-Risk | High-Risk | Registration Revoked, Suspended, or De-registered; OR registration Expired/Lapsed and proposed completion date has also passed |
Only two data points decide the overall status: RERA registration status and proposed completion date. The system evaluates from most severe to least — High-Risk first, then Non-Compliant, then Partial Compliance, then Compliant. Other compliance checks (penalty orders, recent orders, quarterly updates, annual audit) are shown separately in the project detail page for homebuyers to review independently.
Compliance Check Details
Here is exactly how each compliance check works and what data sources it uses.
Checks whether the project has an active, valid RERA registration. The status is read directly from the CG-RERA portal.
- ✓ Pass: Status is Ongoing, New, Extended, or Completed
- ✗ Issue: Status is Expired, Lapsed, Revoked, Suspended, or De-registered
- — N/A: Status not available on the portal
Checks whether any RERA orders against this project cite penalty sections of the Act. These sections relate to financial penalties, directions, and compensation orders.
- ✓ Pass: No orders on record, or orders exist but none cite penalty sections
- ✗ Issue: One or more orders cite sections 38/39/40/59/61/63
Flags whether any complaints or orders have been filed against the project in the last 12 months, indicating active regulatory attention.
- ✓ Pass: No orders in the last 12 months
- ⚠ Warning: One or more orders filed in the last 12 months
Compares the proposed completion date against today's date. Projects past their promised deadline are flagged.
- ✓ Pass: Project completed, or proposed completion date is in the future
- ⚠ Warning: Completed but after the originally proposed date
- ✗ Issue: Proposed completion date has passed and project is not marked complete
- — N/A: No proposed completion date on the portal
Promoters are required to submit quarterly progress updates to RERA. This flag checks whether the latest snapshot shows a submitted status.
- ✓ Pass: Latest compliance snapshot shows quarterly update submitted
- ⚠ Warning: Quarterly update is missing or stale
- — N/A: No compliance snapshot data available
Promoters must file an annual financial audit report with RERA. This flag checks the latest compliance snapshot for audit status.
- ✓ Pass: Latest compliance snapshot shows annual audit submitted
- ⚠ Warning: Annual audit is missing or stale
- — N/A: No compliance snapshot data available
Builder Reputation Score
Each promoter (builder) receives a reputation score from 0–100, aggregated across all their registered projects. This score appears on the promoter detail page as a "Builder Report Card" and as a badge on the promoter listing page.
Reputation Score = Weighted Sum ÷ Total Active Weight
Each factor is scored 0–100, then multiplied by its weight. If a factor has no data (e.g., no orders exist), it is excluded and the score is normalised using the remaining weights.
Measures the average compliance health of all the builder's projects based on their RERA compliance status.
| Compliance Status | Score |
|---|---|
| Compliant | 100 |
| Partial Compliance | 50 |
| Non-Compliant | 20 |
| High-Risk | 0 |
- Each project's compliance status is determined from registration_status and proposed_completion date
- Each project receives a score based on the table above
- Projects with N/A status (unknown registration) are excluded
- Score = Average of all project compliance scores
- Example: 2 Compliant (100) + 1 Partial (50) + 1 High-Risk (0) = (100+100+50+0) ÷ 4 = 62.5
Penalises builders who have received actual RERA orders (rulings) under specific sections of the RERA Act. Only complaints where an order was actually passed are counted — dismissed or pending complaints are excluded.
- Only complaints where
order_under_sectioncontains an actual section (not empty or "-") are counted - Count the number of distinct RERA sections cited across all orders
- Score = max(0, 100 − distinct_sections × 4)
- Each distinct section type deducts 4 points — 25 or more distinct sections = score of 0
- Example: Orders under Section 18 and Section 31 = 2 sections → 100 − 8 = 92/100
- If a builder has zero actual orders, this factor is excluded entirely
- The score is then normalised using only the Builder‑Level RERA Compliance Score (100% weight)
The following metrics are shown on the Builder Report Card for transparency but do not affect the reputation score:
- Complaints Filed — Total complaint count against the builder (includes dismissed and pending cases). Only complaints with actual orders impact the score via the "Orders & Violations" factor.
- Buyer Rating — Average star rating from buyer reviews submitted on Seemankan. Will be incorporated into scoring once sufficient review volume is reached.
Reputation Tiers
| Score Range | Tier | Color |
|---|---|---|
| 85 – 100 | Excellent | Excellent |
| 70 – 84 | Good | Good |
| 50 – 69 | Average | Average |
| 30 – 49 | Below Average | Below Average |
| 0 – 29 | Poor | Poor |
A builder with 4 projects (2 Compliant, 1 Partial, 1 High-Risk) and orders under 2 distinct RERA sections:
| Builder‑Level RERA Compliance Score | (100+100+50+0) ÷ 4 = 62.5 → Score = 62.5 | × 60% weight | = 37.5 |
| Orders & Violations | 2 sections → 100 − 8 = 92 | × 40% weight | = 36.8 |
| Final Score = | 74 / 100 — Good | ||
