What to know

• Projects need RERA registration before any advertising, booking or sale (Section 3); the Act exempts projects where the land is 500 sq m or less, or there are 8 apartments or fewer.
• UP RERA assigns each new project a QR code at registration; promoters must print it in advertisements and brochures and on documents given to allottees, such as booking forms, allotment letters and builder–buyer agreements (2024 direction).
• 70% of money collected from allottees must sit in a separate bank account and be withdrawn only in proportion to construction progress, certified by an engineer, architect and chartered accountant (Section 4(2)(l)(D)).
• Promoters must update the project page on the RERA website every quarter with bookings and construction status (Section 11(1)).
• Real estate agents and channel partners must register with the authority before facilitating any sale (Section 9).
