UP RERA Moves QPR Professional Certificates to Digital Filing, Changes How Project Progress Is Reported
Uttar Pradesh | September 18, 2026: Uttar Pradesh real estate projects will now have to follow a more structured digital process for filing professional certificates with Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs). The change means architects, engineers and chartered accountants will submit their certificates as digital forms on the UP RERA 2.0 system instead of uploading separate scanned PDFs.
The move could make project progress easier to verify and monitor, while also giving homebuyers a more consistent record of construction progress and fund utilisation.
What Changed in the UP RERA QPR Filing Process
Under the revised system, three professional certificates — REG-1, REG-2 and REG-3 — will be submitted as structured digital forms.
The filing will take place in a fixed sequence:
- REG-1: Architect
- REG-2: Engineer
- REG-3: Chartered Accountant
Once all three certificates are submitted, the system will automatically push them to the existing UP RERA portal and complete the QPR filing process.
Project Details Will Be Auto-Filled
The new system will automatically carry key project information across the digital forms.
This includes the project registration number, project name, promoter details, competent authority and project area.
The change is intended to reduce repetitive data entry and minimise inconsistencies between different certificates submitted for the same project.
Each certificate will also have to be authenticated using the concerned professional's Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
Why This Matters for Homebuyers
For property buyers, the important change is not simply that the filing has become digital. The new process is designed to make construction-progress information more consistent and easier for the regulator to verify.
UP RERA has also directed that figures reported in the digital certificates should remain consistent with filings made in the previous quarter.
Architects will additionally have to certify project progress based on physical inspection of the site.
This could give homebuyers a more reliable basis for tracking whether reported construction progress matches actual work at the project.
What Promoters and Professionals Need to Watch
Promoters will need to ensure that information submitted through the three professional certificates remains aligned with previous QPR filings.
Any mismatch in project figures could become more visible under a structured digital system.
The sequential filing process also means the three certificates cannot simply be uploaded independently. The architect's REG-1 has to be filed first, followed by the engineer's REG-2 and the CA's REG-3.
How Construction Progress Will Be Reported
UP RERA has clarified how different types of development will be covered under the digital reporting system.
Table A will apply to individual towers or blocks and, where applicable, sectors in villa projects.
For plotted developments, only Table B will be required.
Table B covers common and external development works, including:
- Roads
- Drainage
- Landscaping
- Boundary walls
- Sewage treatment plants
- Clubhouses
This distinction is important because the progress of common infrastructure can be a key indicator of whether a project is moving towards overall completion.
What the Digital Shift Could Mean for Project Monitoring
UP RERA said the new process is aimed at improving consistency, verifiability and monitoring of project progress and fund utilisation, while reducing discrepancies in QPR filings.
For homebuyers, the practical benefit could be better consistency in the information available through regulatory filings. For promoters and professionals, the process places greater emphasis on accurate, sequential and digitally authenticated reporting.
What Happens Next
The digital certificate process forms part of UP RERA's transition to the UP RERA 2.0 portal.
As the new system is adopted, promoters, architects, engineers and chartered accountants will need to align their QPR filing practices with the structured digital format and ensure that quarterly figures remain consistent with earlier submissions.
For homebuyers, upcoming QPR filings will be worth watching closely, particularly where reported construction progress and actual site activity have previously been a concern.
