Possession date and delay estimator
Short answer. Enter the RERA completion date from the portal and a reference date (today by default) to see the months remaining or past. Add the developer's stated possession date to see how far it sits from the RERA date. It is a date difference only.
Your dates
Type dates from your own documents. Nothing is filled in for any project.
The completion date shown on the Karnataka RERA portal for your registration.
Defaults to today. Change it to compare against another day.
The date in the brochure, the agreement or a message from the seller.
The difference
Enter the RERA completion date to see the difference.
This is a date difference only. It does not say whether a project is delayed, and it is not legal advice.
How it works
The tool counts whole calendar months and then leftover days between two dates. It does not guess a delay, a penalty or a new date.
Step one compares the RERA completion date with your reference date. Step two, if you add it, compares the developer's stated possession date with the RERA completion date.
The RERA date is the one on the registration record. A brochure or sales conversation may quote a different date, which is why the gap is worth seeing.
The explanations on this page repeat the wording of our guide on RERA status, phases and dates. They describe how the records generally work and do not say anything about a named project.
What a completion date and an extension mean
Proposed completion date: a registered promise, not a forecast
The proposed completion date is the date by which the promoter declared the phase would be completed. It is part of the registration record, and the registration is valid for the period the promoter declared for completion. Where an extension is granted, the portal carries an extension status for the project. This is why our guide on possession dates tells you to rely on the registration and your agreement for sale rather than on a date in a brochure or in a conversation.
Treat the date as a legal reference point. It is not evidence of how far construction has actually progressed, and it does not say whether work is ahead of or behind schedule. For that you need your own site visits, progress updates from the promoter and the quarterly information that promoters are expected to file.
Why dates move: extensions in general terms
Dates can move for several reasons, and the Act itself recognises that some delays may be outside the promoter's control. Section 6 of the Act allows the regulator to extend a registration for force majeure, such as war, flood, drought, fire, cyclone, earthquake or another natural calamity, and in other reasonable circumstances for reasons recorded in writing, up to a limit set in the Act. An extension on the record means the regulator has accepted a revised date, which is different from an informal promise from a sales executive that the project will be ready sooner or later than shown.
If a date has already been extended once, read the record for the reason shown and compare the new date with the one in your draft agreement. The Act gives buyers remedies for delay in certain circumstances, including interest or the option to withdraw. The conditions are technical, so take specific advice from a property lawyer rather than relying on a summary here.

Common questions
- Where do I find the RERA completion date?
- The proposed completion date is part of the RERA registration record, and any extension is recorded there. A brochure date can differ, so rely on the registration and your agreement for sale.
- What is an extension on a RERA record?
- It is a revised completion date recorded on the registration. It is different from an informal promise of a new date made by a seller.
- Does this tell me whether a project is delayed?
- No. It shows the distance between dates you type. Whether a project is on schedule depends on construction progress, which only a site visit and documents from the promoter can show.
- Can I claim anything because of the gap?
- This tool cannot say. How the Act's delay remedies apply to your agreement depends on its terms and your facts, so take specific advice from a property lawyer.
