The Statutory Mandate for Form 5 Audit

Under Section 4(2)(l)(D) of the RERA Act, every real estate promoter must have their project accounts audited within six months after the end of each financial year (by October 31st) by an independent practicing Chartered Accountant.

The auditor must produce a certified Form 5 Annual Audit Report confirming that 70% of all allottee collections were deposited into the designated RERA bank account, and that withdrawals were made strictly in proportion to the percentage of project completion certified by Form 1, Form 2, and Form 3.

Critical Verification Points in Form 5 Audit

Our experienced real estate audit team conducts thorough financial and architectural verification across all project transactions:

  • 70% Separate Escrow Account Scrutiny: Reconciling bank statements with customer booking receipts to ensure no allottee funds were diverted to non-designated accounts.
  • Form 3 CA Certificate Reconciliation: Matching all intermediate quarterly withdrawal certificates against ledger accounts and actual contractor payments.
  • Percentage Completion Verification: Comparing structural engineer cost estimations with architect Form 1 milestone deliverables.
  • Excess Withdrawal Identification & Remedy: Identifying any temporary funding imbalances and providing structured rectification plans before portal submission.
  • UDIN Generation & Direct Portal Filing: Generating valid Unique Document Identification Numbers (UDIN) with ICAI and uploading certified Form 5 to MahaRERA.

Important Legal Rule: Who Can Sign Form 5?

Under MahaRERA circulars, Form 5 cannot be signed by the statutory auditor of the promoter's firm or private limited company. It must be issued by a separate, independent practicing Chartered Accountant in full-time practice.

UnifiedRERA provides this independent audit panel — guaranteeing complete regulatory compliance, unbiased financial vetting, and protection against Section 61 penalties (which can reach up to 5% of the estimated project cost).
