Pre-launch Investment: Risk ya Reward?
1 min read
"Pre-launch price" — developers ki sabse attractive marketing line. ₹200/sq ft discount, free parking, subvention scheme. Lekin should you bite? Real analysis.
What Pre-launch Actually Means
Developer ne project RERA register nahi kiya abhi. Technically, collecting advance before RERA = illegal. Legal pre-launch = Expression of Interest (EOI) after RERA filing. Real discount comes post-RERA from early-stage launch pricing.
Pre-launch Ke Risks
- If RERA approval nahi aata — paisa phas sakta hai
- Project plan change ho sakta hai — floor, layout, amenities
- Developer financial issues pre-RERA = very difficult recovery
- Longer delivery timeline than promised
Pre-launch Ka Real Reward
Legitimate pre-launch (post-RERA filing) from established developer can give 10-15% price advantage. Developer needs early bookings — he gives real discount. By launch price, this 10-15% advantage is already your unrealized gain.
How to Do Pre-launch Right
- Only if RERA number exists — verify on portal
- Only with developers who have delivered 2+ projects in same city
- Get written agreement with refund clause
- Amount: Not more than 10% before allotment letter
Pre-launch = high reward potential, high risk. Mature developers + RERA compliance = reward. Unknown developers + no RERA = pure risk.
