India's most comprehensive Goa real estate certification. CREP™ — 8-module RERA Goa track covering the Goa RERA framework, the Town & Country Planning Department's planning authorities, Form I & XIV / Matriz land records, the Goa Civil Code, and the complete Goa real estate market including Panaji, Margao, and Vasco da Gama.
The Goa RERA track opens with what makes this state's market genuinely distinct — heavy tourism- and non-resident-driven demand layered on top of local end-user activity, and a uniform civil code (the Goa Civil Code, Portuguese Civil Code 1867) with real practical consequences for property transactions involving married couples. From there, the track covers Goa's specific institutional layers — the Town & Country Planning Department and its three Planning & Development Authorities (North Goa, South Goa, Mormugao), Goa RERA's marketplace-facing registration regime, and the genuinely unique Form I & XIV / Matriz / Comunidade land-record system with no direct equivalent elsewhere in India. Covered in depth across Modules GA01 and GA06.
Built from official Goa RERA portal content, Town & Country Planning Department regulations, Goa's Form I & XIV / Matriz land-record system, and NGDRS registration practice. Every lesson cites its primary source with a last-verified date.

Source: rera.goa.gov.in + DSLR GoaA developer promotes a Calangute project on social media before completing Goa RERA project registration. Explain what this means, what the RERA Act requires before advertising, and what to verify before advising the client.
A client assumes a project is fully compliant because it has "TCP approval." Walk through why TCP/Planning Authority clearance and Goa RERA registration are separate regimes, and what to verify before proceeding.
A married seller signs a sale agreement alone. Identify why the Goa Civil Code's Communion of Assets regime may require the spouse's consent too, and what to verify before advising the client.
A client's Form I & XIV look clean, but the property's Matriz history cannot be traced. Walk through why this title chain may be broken at its root, and what a Form III Correspondence Certificate would need to resolve.
Yes. Under RERA Act 2016, every real estate agent facilitating transactions in Goa must register with Goa RERA at rera.goa.gov.in. Operating without registration can result in penalties. Our Goa track covers the complete registration process and compliance requirements.
Goa RERA (the Goa Real Estate Regulatory Authority) was constituted under Section 20 of the central RERA Act, 2016, and the Goa Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017, with its official portal at rera.goa.gov.in and its office at Patto Plaza, Panaji. Registered projects must maintain escrow arrangements and are subject to quarterly reporting and audits. Module GA01 covers this in detail.
The Town & Country Planning (TCP) Department, headquartered in Panaji with district offices at Mapusa and Margao, issues technical clearances under the Goa Land Development and Building Construction Regulations, 2010. Unlike a single statewide development authority, Goa's planning framework is split across the TCP Department's district/taluka offices and three area-specific Planning & Development Authorities — North Goa, South Goa, and Mormugao — a structural distinction agents should understand clearly. Module GA01 and GA06 cover this in detail.
Form I and Form XIV are Goa's core modern land records, obtained via the Directorate of Settlement and Land Records (DSLR Goa) — Form I covers ownership details and Form XIV covers land rights and encumbrances. The Matriz is the Portuguese-era property tax register (maintained 1510–1961) that every pre-1961 Goa property still traces back to, reconciled to a modern survey number via a Form III Correspondence Certificate. Module GA01 covers this in detail.
The Goa Civil Code (the Portuguese Civil Code, 1867, retained after Goa's 1961 integration into India) applies a default "Communion of Assets" marital property regime, under which property acquired during marriage is generally jointly owned by both spouses — meaning a sale by a married individual may require both spouses' consent and signature, not just the named title-holder's. Module GA01 covers this in detail.
