Everything you need to understand UP RERA, verify registered projects in Noida & Greater Noida, and protect your investment.
UP RERA — Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority — is the state-level regulatory body established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. It came into effect on 1 May 2017 and governs all real estate projects in Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, and every other district.
Before UP RERA, buyers in UP faced rampant project delays, hidden charges, misleading carpet area calculations, and zero accountability from builders. UP RERA changed all of that. It created a single, transparent authority where every project must be registered, all details are publicly visible, and buyers have a fast legal route to complain if something goes wrong.
Official Portal: up-rera.in
Every UP project with more than 8 units or land above 500 sq.m. must be registered on UP RERA before any advertising, booking, or sale. No registration = no legal sale.
Approved plans, land title, government approvals, delivery timelines, and units sold — all visible publicly on up-rera.in before you pay a rupee.
Builders must deposit 70% of buyer funds in a separate UP RERA escrow account used only for that specific project's construction. No fund diversion allowed.
All transactions in UP are now based on actual carpet area — the usable floor space inside your flat — not inflated super built-up area figures.
If a UP builder misses the possession date, you can claim a full refund with interest, or continue and receive monthly interest compensation (SBI MCLR + 2%) for every delayed month.
After possession, the builder is legally required to fix any structural defects — cracks, waterproofing, flooring — free of cost for 5 years. This is enforceable under UP RERA.
Takes less than 2 minutes. Do this before signing any agreement or paying any amount.
Open up-rera.in — the official Uttar Pradesh RERA website. Do not rely on builder-provided screenshots.
Select the "Registered Projects" or "Search Project" section from the navigation menu.
Enter the project name or the UP RERA registration number provided by the builder. Both options work.
Check: builder name, approved layouts, number of units sold, expected completion date, and project status (ongoing / completed / delayed).
Under the "Registered Agents" section, confirm the agent or broker you are dealing with also holds a valid UP RERA agent registration number.
All projects in Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow and across Uttar Pradesh must be registered here. Verify any project or agent instantly — for free.
