Ananya, a 31-year-old resident of Pune, has spent eight years saving for her first flat. She visits a sales office for a project called Nimbus Greens, which boasts four towers rising to eighteen floors and a rooftop pool. The brochure claims a 2 BHK of 1,050 square feet for ₹72 lakh all-inclusive, with free parking and possession slated for March 2027.

However, the registration with the state's Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) reveals a different story. The registered building has only twelve floors sanctioned, and the actual carpet area of the 2 BHK is only 690 square feet. The price quoted in the brochure is higher than the registered agreement, with an additional ₹4,50,000 allocated for parking.

This discrepancy highlights the importance of verifying information before making significant financial decisions. Home Truth is a tool that compares a builder's promises with registered documents and the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, providing buyers with a clear understanding of what they are entitled to.
