Structured finance for RERA-registered projects

Developer or project finance is a structured, secured facility for RERA-registered builders and developers — funding land acquisition, construction and last-mile completion of a real-estate project. Underwriting goes well beyond a balance sheet: lenders assess project approvals, sales velocity, the cost-to-completion and a TAC (technical, legal and financial appraisal), and disburse against construction milestones into a RERA-compliant escrow. As an intermediary, we structure the ask, package the project and match it to lenders comfortable with the geography and stage.

We are not a lender — the facility is sanctioned and disbursed by our partner bank, NBFC or fund at their discretion, against the project, its approvals and its cash flows. Our advisory is transparent; we are compensated by the lender, never by hidden charges.

Key compliance & structure

How a project-finance facility is structured

RERA registration

The project must be registered with the state RERA authority — a precondition for sanction and draw-down.

Mandatory escrow

A separate escrow account is mandated; loan usage is strictly governed by RERA Section 4(2)(l)(D).

TAC appraisal

An independent technical, legal and financial appraisal validates cost-to-completion, title and viability.

Milestone draw-down

Funds are released in tranches against verified construction milestones, not as a single lump sum.

This is general information on how such facilities are typically structured under RERA, not legal or financial advice. The actual structure, escrow mechanism and covenants are set by the lender and applicable law — please confirm specifics with your legal and financial advisors.

FAQs

Developer / project finance — questions, answered

The facility is for RERA-registered real-estate developers and builders. The project must be registered with the relevant state RERA authority, the developer should have a track record and healthy credit, and the project's approvals, sales velocity and cost-to-completion must stand up to the lender's TAC appraisal. The final call rests with the lender.

A structured facility can span the whole lifecycle — land acquisition (or aggregation) for an approved or near-approved project, construction finance drawn against milestones, and last-mile or completion funding to finish a stalled but viable project. The mix depends on the project's stage and the lender's structure.

Under RERA Section 4(2)(l)(D), a developer must deposit a defined share of the amounts collected from homebuyers into a separate escrow account, to be used only for that project's land and construction cost. Project-finance facilities are built around this mandated escrow — collections and draw-downs flow through it, which protects homebuyers and gives lenders visibility and control over how funds are used.

Facilities are indicatively ₹5 crore to ₹500 crore and beyond, sized to the project cost and cash flows, with tenures of around 3 to 7 years aligned to the project's delivery and sell-through. The rate is indicatively 11%–16% p.a. The exact ticket, tenure and rate are set by the lender after the TAC appraisal.

TAC stands for the technical, legal and financial appraisal of the project. Independent experts verify the construction plan and cost-to-completion (technical), the land title and approvals (legal), and the project's viability, sales velocity and cash flows (financial). A satisfactory TAC is central to sanction and to how draw-downs are released against milestones.

Security is typically a mortgage / charge over the project land and unsold inventory, an assignment of the project's receivables routed through the RERA-compliant escrow, and usually a promoter / corporate guarantee. The exact security package is structured by the lender to the project's stage and risk.

Project finance takes longer than a retail loan because the TAC appraisal, legal due diligence and escrow set-up are detailed. Indicatively it can run from a few weeks to a couple of months once the project pack is complete. Final timing depends on the project's approvals, the lender and how clean the title and documentation are.

Often, yes — provided the project is viable. Last-mile or completion funding is designed to finish a stalled but fundamentally sound RERA-registered project and deliver units to homebuyers. The lender will closely assess the remaining cost-to-completion, the unsold inventory, existing dues and the escrow position before structuring a facility.
