This includes three commercial developments and one residential project, totaling 2,199 units.

In Agra, two residential projects were approved with a combined investment of ₹246.94 crore, resulting in 797 units.

The authority indicated that the approved projects are anticipated to bolster construction activities and related sectors, including building materials, transport, engineering, architecture, and financial services. In a separate announcement, UP-RERA has urged homebuyers, allottees, promoters, and other stakeholders to utilize its online portal for tracking the status of complaints and recovery certificate proceedings.
The authority noted that many complainants remain unaware that they can check the status of complaints and recovery proceedings online without the need to visit RERA offices. According to Section 31 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, aggrieved homebuyers, promoters, and associations of allottees have the right to file complaints with the regulatory authority or adjudicating officer for any violations of the Act.
UP-RERA has stated that complaints may be submitted online by choosing the appropriate category, uploading necessary documents such as the builder-buyer agreement, allotment letter, payment receipts, and other relevant records, along with the required fee of ₹1,000. Upon submission, an acknowledgment or reference number for the complaint is generated for future reference.
Complainants are also able to monitor the status of recovery certificates issued in cases related to refund claims, delayed possession, registry issues, and interest payments due to delays caused by promoters. Recovery certificates are provided against defaulting promoters to facilitate the recovery of owed amounts through the district administration.
Additionally, the authority has released an advisory urging homebuyers to confirm project details on its official website prior to booking or purchasing any property. Homebuyers are encouraged to verify land title and ownership information, approved maps and layout plans, inventory specifics, project-specific collection account details, quarterly progress reports, and the quantity and nature of complaints lodged against the promoter.
UP-RERA has emphasized that homebuyers should not depend solely on promotional materials or verbal promises made by developers and agents, and should utilize the portal as their primary source for verified project information. Sanjay Bhoosreddy, the chairman of UP-RERA, indicated that promoters are expected to comply with project timelines and regulatory requirements, while buyers should leverage the authority’s digital resources to make well-informed decisions and monitor proceedings.
