A Note on the WBHIRA → WBRERA Portal Change
For years, West Bengal's real estate regulator operated as WBHIRA at hira.wb.gov.in. That portal now carries a notice stating new project, agent, and complaint registrations must go through WBRERA at rera.wb.gov.in instead — WBHIRA itself is no longer functional for new registrations. Several older blog posts and guides across the web still reference the WBHIRA address, which can send first-time applicants to a dead end. If you're registering as an agent in West Bengal, rera.wb.gov.in is the portal to use.
A note on this fee figure: The ₹25,000 (individual) and ₹2,50,000 (entity) figures above are consistent across the third-party sources available, but WBRERA's own fee-notification page wasn't directly verifiable at the time of writing. Confirm the current fee on rera.wb.gov.in before you pay — fee schedules are revised periodically and West Bengal's recent portal transition makes a direct check especially worthwhile.

Common Mistakes West Bengal Agents Make
⚠️ Registering (or looking for the registration link) on the old WBHIRA site
hira.wb.gov.in is no longer where new agent registrations happen. Go directly to rera.wb.gov.in to avoid wasted time.
⚠️ Assuming the fee figures online are current
West Bengal's fee schedule wasn't independently confirmed on the official portal for this guide — verify the exact amount on rera.wb.gov.in before paying.
⚠️ Registering as an individual while operating as a firm
If you're working under a business name or with partners, the entity fee and documentation apply — registering as an individual to save money can create compliance gaps.
⚠️ Letting the registration lapse without renewing
An expired registration carries the same penalty risk as never having registered — track your renewal date from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is West Bengal's RERA portal called WBHIRA or WBRERA?
WBRERA, as of the current portal transition. The earlier WBHIRA portal (hira.wb.gov.in) displays a notice directing new agent, project, and complaint registrations to rera.wb.gov.in instead. If you're starting a fresh registration, use the WBRERA address.
How much does West Bengal RERA agent registration cost?
₹25,000 for an individual applicant and ₹2,50,000 for a non-individual entity such as a company or partnership, based on the sources available. Confirm the current figure directly on rera.wb.gov.in before paying, since this wasn't independently verified against an official fee-notification page.
How long is West Bengal RERA agent registration valid?
5 years from the date of registration, matching the standard validity period used across most Indian states.
What is the penalty for operating as an unregistered agent in West Bengal?
Under Section 62 of the central RERA Act, an agent who facilitates a transaction without registration faces a penalty of ₹10,000 for every day of default, which can cumulatively extend up to 5% of the relevant project's cost. This is the standard Act-wide penalty and applies in West Bengal as it does elsewhere.
Is the West Bengal RERA agent application process online or offline?
Applications are processed online through the WBRERA portal. There's no indication of a separate offline filing route for agent registration.
