How to Check a Project’s UP RERA Registration: Step-by-Step Guide

Updated October 18, 2026

If you are looking at a flat or plot in Noida, Greater Noida or Ghaziabad, a RERA registration number in the brochure is only a claim until you have checked it. The check is free and takes about ten minutes on the Uttar Pradesh RERA portal. This guide shows you how to do it and how to read what you find.

Projects in Gurugram, Delhi and other states are registered with their own state authorities. Each state runs its own RERA website, so UP RERA will not show them.

What to have ready

The project name exactly as advertised, including any phase or tower name.
The RERA registration number from the brochure, ad or agreement.
The name of the company (promoter) you are being asked to pay.

The registration number is the best search key. Searching by registration number is generally the most accurate method. A UP number begins with UPRERAPRJ followed by digits. An example project page shows a number in this style.

Step by step: finding the project on up-rera.in

Type the address yourself. Go to up-rera.in rather than clicking an ad or a link a salesperson sent you.
Find the search list. The homepage search options include Registered Projects, Completed Projects, De-registered Projects, NCLT Projects, Abeyance Projects and Withdrawn Registration. Menu placement changes from time to time, so look for these labels if the layout differs from what you expected.
Open Registered Projects and enter your search. You can search by project name, registration number or promoter, and you must enter a captcha.
Open the details. Click the eye icon in the Details column to reach the project details page. You may need to click through once more to see the full project view.
Check the promoter too. The Registered Promoters section lets you enter the builder’s name. Make sure the company on the project page is the one named in your booking form.

Large developments are often registered in phases. One project can appear as separate phases, each with its own RERA number and dates. Make sure you are looking at the phase and tower you are buying in.

What the registration page shows

What to look at	Why it matters
Registration number and date	The page lists the registration number, registration date, project type and the declared date of completion. Confirm the number matches your paperwork.
Promoter	The promoter’s name and registered address are shown. The entity taking your money should match.
Location and plot details	Promoters enter the district, tehsil, village or sector, area in sq. m and plot or khasra numbers. Compare these with your sale papers.
Declared completion date	This is the date the promoter committed to at registration. The proposed end date cannot go beyond the validity of the sanctioned construction permit.
Approvals and layouts	The page also shows approved layouts and land documents.
Escrow account	The project page can show the project’s escrow bank account details. Payments should go to the account the page names.
Quarterly progress	See the section below.

Completion date and extensions

Compare the declared completion date with today’s date, 18 October 2026. If it has passed, look for what changed.

The law allows extensions in limited cases. Under Section 6, a promoter can apply for an extension of up to one year. Section 7(3) lets the authority keep a registration alive instead of revoking it, on terms it considers fit.

Some extensions are blanket orders rather than individual applications. UP RERA has granted four months to registered projects whose completion dates fall between 28 February and 31 October 2026. The extension depends on conditions such as a valid sanctioned plan, filed quarterly reports and the annual audit report. This is a recent order, so confirm the current position on the portal or with UP RERA, and don’t rely on a salesperson’s reading of it.

Quarterly progress reports (QPRs)

Section 11(1) of the RERA Act requires every promoter to update project details after each quarter. The report compares physical progress against the registration targets and reports actual spending, with architect, engineer and chartered accountant certificates. Photographs are uploaded as well.

Reports are due within 15 days of the end of each quarter. On that basis, the report for the quarter ending 30 September 2026 should already be in. A late fee of ₹15,000 applies, and default across two quarters can bring show-cause notices.

Open the latest report and compare it with what you see on site. Slow or stalled progress should show up there.

Red flags

No search result. The name, number and promoter all return nothing under Registered Projects.
The details don’t match. Check that the project name, builder, location and unit count match between the marketing and the portal listing.
Wrong list. The project appears under de-registered, NCLT, abeyance or withdrawn lists instead of registered projects.
Stale or missing quarterly reports. A builder who doesn’t update the QPR on time may be signalling delays or disputes.
A passed completion date with no explanation. Look for an extension, and for repeated ones.
Different land figures. Plot extents in the brochure, the RERA filing and the deed often differ, and the deed is what you are buying.
Payment requests outside the escrow account. This is worth querying before you pay anything.

Registration is a starting point, not a guarantee. A title certificate on a RERA page is the promoter’s own advocate’s assertion, not independent verification. Ask a property lawyer to check title and approvals separately.

If the project is not registered

Do not pay a booking amount until you understand why. Section 3 bars a promoter from advertising, marketing, booking or selling in a project before it is registered. There is no pre-launch or soft-launch exemption.

There is one genuine exception to check. Registration is mandatory for projects above 500 sq. m of plot area or eight apartments. A very small project may fall outside that threshold, so ask the seller to state in writing why it isn’t registered.

Ask for the number in writing and re-run the search, including under the promoter’s name and any phase names.
Pause payments. If you have already paid, keep the receipts, allotment letter, brochure and messages.
Know the consequences for the builder. A promoter who breaches Section 3 can face a penalty of up to 10% of the estimated project cost. Continued violation can bring up to three years’ imprisonment, a further fine, or both.
Consider a complaint. The UP RERA complaint fee is ₹1,000 for both Form M, which goes to the Authority, and Form N, for compensation. A 99acres report says UP RERA’s updated rules allow complaints against unregistered projects. Confirm this on up-rera.in before you file.
Get legal advice before you cancel a booking or demand a refund, especially for larger amounts.

Where to go next

If you are still comparing options, you can search all properties on ADiHomes and run each shortlisted project through the steps above. Local guides can help with context: Greater Noida West, Raj Nagar Extension and Yamuna Expressway all fall under UP RERA’s remit.

Portal layouts, extension orders and fees can change. Check up-rera.in for the latest circulars before relying on any date or amount in this article.
