For any registered real estate project in Tamil Nadu, filing the Completion Report with TNRERA is not a formality — it is the legal closure of the project under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
Without this submission, a project remains “incomplete” in the eyes of the regulator, exposing the promoter to penalties, complaints, and future approval hurdles.
This guide explains exactly what is required for filing the Completion Report of a Building Project with TNRERA, including mandatory forms, certificates, declarations, fees, and practical compliance checks — in plain words.
What Is a TNRERA Completion Report?
A Completion Report is a formal application filed by the promoter to inform TNRERA that:
- Construction is completed as per approved plans
- Structural safety is certified
- Utilities and amenities are functional
- The local authority has issued a Completion Certificate
Only after this filing does TNRERA treat the project as legally completed.
Mandatory Documents for Filing TNRERA Completion Report
1. Form-4A – Architect’s Certificate
This certificate confirms that:
- The building or block is fully completed
- Construction matches the approved planning permission
- The local authority has issued a Completion Certificate
Must include:
- TNRERA Registration Number
- Survey / Plot / Door Number
- Village, Taluk, District, PIN
- Latitude and longitude boundaries
- Completion Certificate number and date
- Architect’s signature, seal, and registration number
2. Form-4B – Structural Stability Certificate
Issued by a Registered Structural Engineer, this certifies that:
- The building is designed as an RCC structure
- Dead load, live load, wind and earthquake loads are considered
- Design complies with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) codes
- The structure is safe and fit for occupancy
This is non-negotiable. Generic or unsigned certificates are rejected.
3. Form-7 – Annual Statement of Accounts
Form-7 provides financial transparency by declaring:
- Project-wise income and expenditure
- Compliance with escrow and fund usage norms
TNRERA cross-checks this with earlier quarterly filings.
4. Latest Quarterly Progress Report (QPR)
The most recent QPR in the prescribed format must be uploaded, confirming that:
- Construction milestones match declared progress
- No pending structural or amenity work remains
5. Site Photographs
Clear site photographs showing:
- External elevation
- Internal common areas
- Lifts, STP, electrical installations
- Common amenities
Photos must reflect actual completion, not staged visuals.
6. TNRERA Registration Certificates
- Copy of Form-C (Project Registration Certificate)
- Copy of Form-F, if any extension was granted
7. Completion Certificate from Competent Authority
Issued by:
- CMDA / DTCP / Local Body (as applicable)
This certificate proves statutory construction approval compliance and is mandatory.
Declaration on Utilities & Common Amenities (Promoter)
A signed declaration on company letterhead confirming that all essential services are installed and functional.
Water Supply
- Borewell count and yield
- Sump capacity
- Metro Water / Local Body supply
- Total daily water requirement vs availability
Sewerage
Any one or more of the following:
- Connection to municipal sewer
- Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) with capacity and reuse details
- Septic tank with disposal mechanism
Electricity
- Transformer capacity (KVA)
- RMU installation
- Residential and common meters
Lifts
- Number of lifts
- Passenger capacity
- Functional status
Common Amenities
Explicit listing of amenities provided — not optional, not blank.
The declaration includes a verification clause, accepting punitive action for false information.
TNRERA Completion Report Filing Fee
- Fee Amount: ₹5,000
- Account Name: Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority
- Bank: Indian Bank, CMDA Branch, Chennai
- Account Type: Current Account
- IFSC: IDIB000I010
Payment proof must be uploaded along with the application.
*Always verify the latest fee amount and confirm the accepted payment mode (bank transfer / online payment) on the official TNRERA portal before filing, as fee structures and payment methods are subject to regulatory updates.
Common Reasons for Rejection by TNRERA
- Architect certificate without local authority completion reference
- Utilities mentioned as “proposed” instead of functional
- Missing Form-7 or outdated QPR
- Structural certificate without engineer registration details
- Incomplete declaration on amenities
A single inconsistency can delay project closure.
