UP RERA Shifts QPR Professional Certificates to Digital Filing

• Architects, engineers and chartered accountants will submit REG-1, REG-2 and REG-3 as structured digital forms.
• The certificates must be filed sequentially and authenticated with the respective professional’s digital signature certificate.
• Project details will be carried forward automatically, while submitted figures must remain consistent with the previous quarter.

Uttar Pradesh: UP-RERA has introduced a structured digital filing system for professional certificates submitted along with Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs). The change applies to certificates provided by architects, engineers and chartered accountants and is part of the authority’s wider transition to the UP RERA 2.0 portal. The revised process is intended to make quarterly project reporting more systematic and easier to verify.

Under the new system, professionals will no longer submit these certificates primarily as separate scanned PDF documents. Instead, the information will be entered through dedicated online forms. The process starts with the architect filing REG-1, followed by the engineer’s REG-2 and then the chartered accountant’s REG-3. This matters because the three certificates are now connected within a single QPR filing workflow, reducing duplication and improving consistency across submissions.

UP-RERA has also built automatic data transfer into the process. Basic project information, including the registration number, project name, promoter details, competent authority and project area, can be carried forward into subsequent forms. Each professional must authenticate their respective certificate using their Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Once all three certificates have been submitted, the information will be transferred to the existing UP-RERA portal as part of the QPR filing process.

The authority has stressed that the figures reported in the digital certificates should be consistent with those submitted in the previous quarter. For architects, project progress certification is expected to be based on a physical inspection of the project site. This makes the new filing process particularly important for tracking construction progress, as differences between successive quarterly reports should reflect the actual development taking place at the project.

UP-RERA has also clarified which reporting tables should be used for different project formats. Table A applies to individual towers or blocks and can also be used for sectors in villa projects where applicable. For plotted development projects, Table B is required. It covers common and external development works such as roads, drainage systems, landscaping, boundary walls, sewage treatment plants and clubhouses.

The digital workflow could reduce repetitive data entry and make it easier to identify inconsistencies between professional certificates and earlier QPR submissions. It also creates a more connected record of project progress, which can support regulatory monitoring of construction activity and fund utilisation.

For promoters, architects, engineers and chartered accountants, the change means QPR compliance will require closer coordination between the three professionals. The sequential filing process, DSC authentication and requirement to maintain consistency with previous-quarter figures will become important parts of the revised workflow.

As UP-RERA continues its transition towards the UP RERA 2.0 portal, professionals involved in quarterly compliance will need to adapt their internal filing processes to the new digital format. Accurate project information, site-based progress verification and consistency with previous submissions will be key to completing QPR filings smoothly.
