    I have taken a flat and requested the Builder to provide me a copy of the completion certificate on which they are relying for not having registration under RERA saying that the completion certificate was taken before the RERA came into effect.
    How to ensure that the certificate in fact has been obtained and their non registration under RERA is genuine.
