How to Read a GUJRERA Registration Number, With Real Dholera Examples
A GUJRERA registration number is readable: the long form spells out the registration, state, district, taluka, authority area, a serial and a date, and the short form carries a letter prefix with a rising serial. Two minutes with the format turns any brochure claim into something you can check. Every example below is a real row from the register.
The two shapes you will meet
Dholera rows show two formats. The long form reads like a file path: PR/GJ/AHMEDABAD/DHANDHUKA/DSIRDA/PN70AA09970/080622 is the registration of ABCD ENCLAVE IV on the register. The compact form is a short code: PAA07425, RAA15713, MAA16212 and CAA16655 all appear on Dholera rows in our compilation.
Which shape you see matters less than what you do with it. A registration number is a claim until it pulls up a live row on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in with a matching project name and promoter. Among the documented red flag patterns in this market are numbers that are quoted but do not verify, so the habit to build is simple: never admire the number, always search it.
Reading the long form, segment by segment
Here is the ABCD ENCLAVE IV number split into its parts.
| Segment | Reads as |
|---|---|
| PR | A project registration |
| GJ | Gujarat |
| AHMEDABAD | The district |
| DHANDHUKA | The taluka |
| DSIRDA | The Dholera SIR development authority area |
| PN70AA09970 | The serial code for this project |
| 080622 | The date, day month year: 8 June 2022 |
The trailing date matches the row: ABCD ENCLAVE IV was registered 2022-06-08 on the register. A second example confirms the pattern. PICCADILLY SQUARE II carries PR/GJ/AHMEDABAD/DHOLERA/DSIRDA/PN36AA09936/210522 and was registered 2022-05-21, with the taluka segment reading DHOLERA. Both rows are on the register; verify live.
Reading the short form and its letter prefix
The compact codes carry a letter prefix and a number. Real rows from our compilation: PAA07425 is GARDENVILLA by Greenera Infrawell, registered 2020-09-05, the earliest row in this compilation. RAA15713 is Aakar by GAP Group, registered 2025-08-19. MAA16212 is SHANTIBAN SKYLAR by Seksaria Buildcon LLP, recorded as a mixed development. CAA16655 is Dholera Iconic by Shyam Infra, recorded as commercial and registered 2026-04-01, the newest row here.
Across this compilation the prefix tracks the recorded project type: C appears on the one row recorded as commercial and M on SHANTIBAN SKYLAR, the one row recorded as a mixed development, while most rows carry P and one, Aakar, carries R with no project type recorded. Treat that as an observed pattern rather than an official legend. Treat that as an observed pattern rather than an official legend. The row itself states the project type, so read the row, and verify live on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in.
What the serial and the dates tell you
Serial numbers rise over time in this compilation, from PAA07425 in September 2020 to CAA16655 in April 2026, so a higher serial generally means a later registration. More useful are the two dates every row carries: the registration date and the complete-by date. On the register, ABCD ENCLAVE IV shows complete-by 2029-12-31, while GAP Industrial Park 1 shows complete-by 2026-12-31.
The complete-by date is a commitment on government record, which makes it the right anchor when a seller talks timelines. If the pitch promises development years ahead of the row's own date, ask about the difference in writing. Registration age cuts both ways: an older row shows history you can examine, and a newer row simply shows less. Context for both sits in the oldest registrations and the newest registrations.
What the number cannot tell you
A valid registration number is necessary information, not a quality mark. It does not tell you whether the price is fair, whether the layout will appreciate, which is always an expectation and never a guarantee, or whether the specific plot you were shown sits inside the registered layout at all. Documented patterns in this market include agricultural land sold as SIR plots and outside-boundary projects marketed as inside, and both can travel alongside a genuine-looking number.
So pair the number with its neighbours: the promoter name, matched exactly using developer name variants, the plot's position against the layout plan, and the location question covered in inside versus outside the SIR.
The two-minute verification
Take the number or the project name to gujrera.gujarat.gov.in. Confirm the row exists, the project name matches the brochure, the promoter matches the firm signing your agreement, and the registration and complete-by dates match what you were told. Save a screenshot with the date you checked. The full walkthrough is in verify a GUJRERA registration.
If any element fails, the number quoted does not verify, the name is off by a word, the dates disagree, stop and ask in writing. A genuine registration survives every one of these checks without effort, which is exactly what makes the two minutes worth spending before any token changes hands.
Questions buyers actually ask
What does the date at the end of a long GUJRERA number mean?
It is the registration date written as day, month and year. In PR/GJ/AHMEDABAD/DHANDHUKA/DSIRDA/PN70AA09970/080622, the closing 080622 reads as 8 June 2022, which matches the register's recorded registration date of 2022-06-08 for ABCD ENCLAVE IV. If the date inside a quoted number contradicts the date on the live row, ask why in writing.
Do all Dholera projects use the same number format?
No. Rows in our compilation show both the long path-style format and compact codes with prefixes such as PAA, MAA, RAA and CAA. Both are valid shapes on the register. The format matters less than the test: any genuine number pulls up a live row on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in with a matching project name and promoter. Verify live before relying on it.
Does a valid registration number mean the project is safe?
No. It confirms the project is registered, with dates and a promoter on government record, and that is genuinely useful. It says nothing about price fairness or future value, and appreciation is an expectation, never a guarantee. Confirm the plot you are shown actually sits inside the registered layout, and complete the title checks before paying.
