What is RERA registration?
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, known as RERA, regulates the sale of residential and commercial real estate projects. In Uttar Pradesh it is administered by UP RERA. Promoters must register eligible projects, and real estate agents must register themselves, before they advertise, market or sell units.
Project registration requires details of the land, approvals, layout, unit-wise information, timelines and the promoter’s financials. A large share of the money collected from buyers must be kept in a separate project account and withdrawn only in proportion to construction progress, backed by certificates from an engineer, an architect and a Chartered Accountant.
After registration, promoters file quarterly progress updates on the RERA portal and an annual audited statement of the project account. Agents must keep registration valid, quote the registration number in advertisements and maintain records.
Greater Noida West has one of the highest concentrations of RERA-registered projects in the state, which makes accurate compliance especially important for local developers and agents.
Who needs RERA registration?
You need RERA registration or compliance support if:
- You are a promoter launching a project where the land exceeds 500 sq m or more than eight units are planned
- You are a real estate agent or broker facilitating sales of units in registered projects
- Your project needs CA certificates for withdrawals from the designated project account
- Your quarterly progress updates are pending or have been flagged
- You need to file the annual audited statement of the project account
- You want to extend, transfer or modify an existing project registration

Which documents are required for RERA registration?
Requirements differ for projects and agents. These are the usual documents:
| Document | Project (promoter) | Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | PAN and KYC of promoter entity and directors or partners | PAN, Aadhaar and photo; entity documents if a firm or company |
| Land and title | Title documents, encumbrance details, collaboration agreement if any | Not applicable |
| Approvals | Sanctioned plans, layout, building permissions | Not applicable |
| Financials | Audited balance sheets and ITRs of the promoter | ITRs for recent years |
| Project details | Unit-wise details, timelines, project account details | Not applicable |
| Address proof | Registered office proof | Office address proof |
How long does RERA registration take?
Agent registration usually completes within 2–4 weeks of filing. Project registration takes longer. These factors add time:
- Missing or pending building approvals
- Title or encumbrance questions raised by the authority
- Deficiency notices requiring additional documents
- Promoter financials that are not audited or up to date
From you, we need title and approval documents, financial statements, and quick responses to authority queries. Book a consultation call to discuss your case.
