12th Amendment Passed: UP RERA Opens Grievance Portals for Unregistered Projects & Caps Transfer Fees
In a massive consumer protection sweep, UP RERA has formally notified its 12th Amendment, allowing homebuyers in completely unregistered housing projects to file direct legal complaints for the first time while strictly capping non-family transfer fees.
Closing a severe legal loophole in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad markets, UP RERA's new mandate dictates that promoters can no longer evade regulatory review by delaying project registration. Homebuyers stuck in unmapped developments can now formally file grievances online. Furthermore, the authority has strictly capped promoter administrative charges: family succession transfers are fixed at a maximum processing fee of ₹1,000, while general open-market non-family profile title transfers are legally capped at ₹25,000. No fresh builder-buyer agreement execution is required; internal modifications must be tracked via formal endorsement updates in existing documents.
