UP RERA Extends QPR Deadline to October 21: What Homebuyers Should Know

The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) has extended the deadline for filing Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) for the July-September 2026 quarter. The new assigned date is October 21, 2026. UP RERA announced the decision on October 10, 2026.

This notification aims to give real estate promoters additional time to adapt to the new submission software, including digital signing and the submission process for mandatory certificates.

Alongside this extension, UP RERA has made Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) mandatory for three certificates, which must accompany the quarterly reports. The revised procedure requires certificates issued by the project’s architect, engineer and chartered accountant to be digitally signed before the document is submitted on the UP RERA portal.

What Has Changed In The QPR Filing Process?

According to a release by UP RERA, the revised procedure was outlined in a memorandum dated September 30, 2026. Under the new requirements, the three certificates must be signed digitally by the required professionals using valid DSCs.

The certificates are REG-1, REG-2, and REG-3. The first one is to be signed by the project’s architect, the second by the project’s engineer, and the third by the project’s chartered accountant.

Promoters must submit all three signed certificates along with the QPR through the UP RERA portal, following the prescribed procedure.

The digital signing requirement is now an essential part of the quarterly reporting process.

The authority has acknowledged that the DSC-based signing and submission process is being implemented for the first time and can result in mistakes and lapses if not done carefully. Promoters and professionals who are responsible for issuing the certificate may need time to understand and complete the steps that are involved in digital signing and uploading the documents. This extension is intended to facilitate a smooth transition to the new system and allow stakeholders to complete their filings without unnecessary difficulty.

What Should Homebuyers Note?

For homebuyers, this change highlights the importance of regular project progress reporting and the documentation submitted by the developers to RERA. QPRs are periodic reports through which promoters report project-related progress to UP RERA. The requirement for digitally signed certificates from architects, engineers, and chartered accountants establishes a formal digital signing process for the supporting document accompanying the reports.

Homebuyers who seek information about any project’s progress can check the project details and disclosures available through the UP RERA portal. They should also distinguish between an extension granted for regulatory filing and any separate extension or change.
