The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 changed the power balance between builders and buyers. Every residential project above 500 square metres or eight units must register with the state authority before it can be marketed — and in Uttar Pradesh that register is publicly available at up-rera.in. Search any project's registration number and you see the sanctioned plan, the promoter's details, the declared possession date, and every quarterly progress filing.
Three protections matter most. First, money discipline: 70% of buyer payments must sit in a dedicated escrow account and can only fund that project's land and construction. Second, the possession date on RERA is a legal commitment — delays trigger interest payable to you, not just apologies. Third, all pricing must reference carpet area, the floor you can actually walk on, with a maximum 3% variance allowed at handover.
What should you actually do with this? Before booking anywhere: pull the RERA page, match the possession date against what the salesperson promised, check the promoter's name against the company on your receipts, and read any complaints filed. It takes ten minutes and removes most of the risk that used to define NCR real estate.
