UP RERA · Regulatory updates

Latest UP RERA updates: October 2026

A technical summary of recent UP RERA orders, circulars and notices for promoters, their architects, engineers and chartered accountants, homebuyers and complainants. Each item links to the official document. As of 22 October 2026.

Deadline: QPR for the quarter ending 30.09.2026 must be filed, with all three digitally signed certificates, by 31.10.2026. UP RERA has said this is the last extension.

A. For promoters: digital QPR and professional certificates

Applies from the quarter ending 30 September 2026.

A1 · What changes

Architect (REG-1), Engineer (REG-2) and Chartered Accountant (REG-3) certificates are now submitted digitally through the UP-RERA portal, under each professional’s digital signature (DSC). Uploading scanned PDF copies of REG-1, REG-2 and REG-3 is no longer required.

A2 · Gatekeeping rule

Digital submission is mandatory. The QPR can be uploaded only after the certificates are submitted digitally. The QPR counts as filed only when the project achievements are entered and all three certificates are digitally signed and submitted.

A3 · Filing sequence
  1. Promoter enters quarterly achievements in the digital QPR form on the promoter dashboard.
  2. Architect digitally signs and submits REG-1.
  3. Engineer digitally signs and submits REG-2.
  4. CA digitally signs and submits REG-3.

UP RERA describes the certificates as signed “in sequence”. Follow the order shown on the portal.

A4 · DSC setup

On the computer used for filing, install the DSC Signer Package and the browser extension before signing. Most signing errors come from a missing or mis-installed signer or extension. UP RERA advises completing the setup now and coordinating early with your professionals.

A5 · Timeline

The deadline for the quarter ending 30.09.2026 was extended first to 21.10.2026 and then to 31.10.2026. UP RERA has said no further extension will be granted.

A6 · Portal 2.0 transition

Promoters keep entering quarterly achievements on the current portal until UP RERA Web Portal 2.0 goes live. Data from the digital certificates will be used to compute fresh quarter-wise targets for every project. On Portal 2.0, professionals will submit certificates directly, and achievements will be generated from the certified data. A separate Direction-cum-SOP on certificate filing and project migration is being issued.

B. Registration validity: force majeure extension

UP RERA has issued an office order extending the validity of registration and the corresponding completion timelines of real estate projects on account of force majeure. It follows the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs advisory dated 31.07.2026, which, as reported, recommended a one-time four-month extension for projects scheduled for completion on or after 28.02.2026 and delayed by the West Asia conflict. The advisory asked regulators to issue a common order rather than decide individual applications.

Check: whether your project is covered and its revised completion date, using the office order and the project page on the portal. Homebuyers: whether the extension affects delay interest under Section 18 depends on the agreement for sale and the terms of the order. Take advice before accepting a revised possession date.

C. Enforcement: Section 35 order, Apple-7 Tower S2A and S2B, Ghaziabad

UP RERA has passed an order under Section 35 of the RERA Act (power to call for information and conduct investigations) on the Apple-7 Tower S2A, S2B project (UPRERAPRJ8494). The document is dated 15.10.2026. Background: in October 2025 UP RERA lodged an FIR against the promoter, A.S.G.I. Properties Pvt. Ltd., over an allegedly forged UP RERA order that had been shown to allottees and banks.

Allottees: read the order for directions on the project and on any further steps.

D. For homebuyers and complainants

D1 · Pay only into the collection account
  1. Pay the price of the unit only into the project’s collection account.
  2. Before paying, verify the account details on the UP RERA portal.
  3. If the builder or promoter asks for payment into any other account, report it to UP RERA.

Report payment to another account

D2 · Refund transfer: bank-detail affidavit

In 495 complaints, amounts UP RERA has recovered from promoters cannot be transferred because the complainants have not given updated bank account details. UP RERA has emailed them several times.

  • Give current bank details in a notarised affidavit on ₹10 stamp paper.
  • Send it by speed post or deliver it in person.
  • Complaints from NCR districts go to the UP RERA Regional Office, Gautam Buddh Nagar. Complaints from other districts go to Lucknow.

E. For advocates and parties: hearings before the Authority

The office order dated 09.02.2024 sets out the dress code, court discipline and procedure for hearings before UP RERA and its benches. Read it before appearing.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the last date to file the QPR for the quarter ending 30 September 2026?

31 October 2026. UP RERA has said this is the final extension. The QPR counts as filed only when the achievements are entered and the Architect, Engineer and CA certificates (REG-1, REG-2, REG-3) are digitally signed and submitted.

Can I file a RERA complaint and a consumer case for the same dispute?

The Supreme Court has held that a buyer who elects the RERA remedy cannot later pursue the same dispute before a consumer commission, so the choice of forum matters before filing.

Does RERA apply to a project that is not registered?

The same ruling is reported to say that lack of project registration does not oust RERA’s jurisdiction. Each case turns on its facts.

Where is a complaint about a Greater Noida project filed?

Before the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA). Appeals go to the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal.
