ORDER
The present Suo Motu proceedings have been initiated by this Telangana Real Estate
Regulatory Authority (hereinafter referred to as “the Authority”), in exercise of the powers
conferred under Section 35(1) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016
(hereinafter “the RE(R&D) Act, 2016”), upon receiving information from the Petitioner, Sri
Mir Tauseef Ali, through a representation dated 16.07.2025, wherein he brought to the notice
of this Authority that M/s Abode Developers, represented by its Managing Partner Sri G. Rama
Charan (hereinafter referred to as “the Respondent”), had been advertising and promoting an
upcoming apartment project situated at Kismatpur Village, Gandipet Mandal, Ranga Reddy
District, without obtaining mandatory registration of project from TG RERA under the
RE(R&D) Act, 2016.
2.

The information furnished by the Petitioner discloses that the Respondent was

undertaking construction activities and displaying project hoardings at the project site,
indicating the development as an “upcoming project”, thereby inviting public attention and
interest. The Petitioner, along with the representation, submitted photographic evidence of
project hoardings displayed at the site, which clearly indicated the existence and promotion of
the said upcoming project.
3.

Based on the information and documentary material furnished by the Petitioner, this

Authority conducted preliminary verification and ascertained that no real estate project at the
aforesaid location was registered with TG RERA as required under Sections 3(1) and 4(1) of
the RE(R&D) Act, 2016. It was further confirmed from the records of this Authority that no
application for registration of the said project had been approved as on the date of receipt of
the complaint.

Accordingly, this Authority issued a Show Cause Notice No. D6/3084/2025 dated

25.07.2025 to the Respondent, calling upon him to explain why penal proceedings under
Sections 59 and 60 of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016, should not be initiated for undertaking
advertising and promotion of an unregistered real estate project without obtaining mandatory
registration under the RE(R&D) Act, 2016.
5.

In response to the said Show Cause Notice, the Respondent submitted a reply dated

29.08.2025, wherein it was submitted that the project was at a preliminary stage, that no formal
sale agreements had been executed, and that no marketing or promotional activities had been
undertaken. The Respondent also submitted that steps were being taken to submit an
application for registration of the project under Section 4(1) of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016. The
Respondent further submitted that they were committed to complying with all provisions of
the RE(R&D) Act, 2016.
OBSERVATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY:
6.

Upon examination of the material available on record, including the representation

submitted by the Petitioner, the photographic evidence of project hoardings produced along
with the representation, and the reply furnished by the Respondent dated 29.08.2025, this
Authority notes that the Respondent, had engaged in advertising and promotion of an upcoming
apartment project situated at Kismatpur Village, Gandipet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District,
without obtaining prior registration as mandated under the RE(R&D) Act, 2016.
7.

This Authority observes that in the reply dated 29.08.2025, the Respondent contended

that the project was at a preliminary stage and that no marketing or promotional activities had
been undertaken. However, this explanation is contradicted by the documentary evidence
available on record. The photographs submitted by the Petitioner clearly depict project
hoardings displayed at the project site, identifying the development as an “upcoming project”.
The Respondent has neither disputed the existence of the said hoardings nor furnished any
explanation as to the circumstances under which such display was made. In the absence of any
rebuttal or material to the contrary, the Respondent’s assertion that no promotional activity was
undertaken remains unsupported and cannot be accepted.
8.

This Authority notes that the act of displaying project hoardings and representing a real

estate development as an “upcoming project” amounts to advertising and promotion within the
meaning of Section 2(b) of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016. Such activity, even if characterised by the

This Authority further underscores that the RE(R&D) Act, 2016, does not recognise or

permit any form of pre-launch advertising, promotion, or public representation of a real estate
project unless the project is duly registered with the Authority. In the present case, the
Respondent’s act of projecting the development as an upcoming project, prior to obtaining
registration approval, constitutes a clear instance of pre-launch promotion without registration,
placing the Respondent in direct contravention of Section 3 of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016.
10.

Upon cumulative evaluation of the entire material placed before this Authority, it stands

clearly established that the Respondent had undertaken pre-launch advertising and promotion
of an unregistered real estate project without obtaining the mandatory registration from this
Authority, thereby contravening Section 3 of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016, and is consequently
liable for imposition of penalty under Section 59 of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016.
DIRECTIONS OF THE AUTHORITY:
11.

conferred under Sections 35, 37, and 38 of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016, this Authority hereby
issues the following directions:
a) For violation of Section 3 of the RE(R&D) Act, 2016, i.e., for undertaking pre-launch

Managing Partner Sri G. Rama Charan, is held liable for penalty under Section 59 of
