UP RERA Removes 22 Projects from the “Abeyance List”

Gautam Buddh Nagar (04/11/2025): The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) has taken a significant decision by removing 22 projects located across seven districts of the state from the “Abeyance List.” A total of 8,856 units (flats, plots, and commercial units) will be constructed under these projects. This move marks a major step towards the revival of projects that had remained pending for a long time.

What is the “Abeyance List”?

After the implementation of RERA, several projects were found where promoters, during registration, had not uploaded the necessary documents such as land records, approved maps, and inventory details (number of units, etc.) on the RERA portal. Following a detailed examination by the Authority, notices were issued to the respective promoters. Most of the promoters clarified that due to technical reasons and lack of time in the initial phase, they could not provide complete details.

Considering this situation, RERA had provided promoters with the facility to Edit and update their project information on the portal. However, despite this, many projects still failed to submit the required land and map-related documents. In this context, during the 152nd meeting of the Authority held on 30th July 2024, it was decided that nearly 400 such projects where documents were incomplete and promoters failed to submit the required records despite notices would be placed under the “Abeyance Category.”

This decision aimed to provide homebuyers and the general public with clear and accurate information about the status of such projects, enabling them to make well-informed and secure investment decisions. It was also intended to prevent any promoter or individual from misusing the registration number issued by RERA.

District-wise details of projects removed from the “Abeyance List”

Out of the total 350 abeyance projects, 22 projects have now been removed from the list. Their district-wise details are as follows —

• Lucknow – 4 projects (473 units)

Benefits of being removed from the “Abeyance List”

The removal of these projects from the “Abeyance List” will benefit homebuyers, promoters, and the state economy alike. For buyers whose dream homes had been stalled for years, this development paves the way for the resumption of construction work. This will not only ensure timely completion of housing units but also enable buyers to receive ownership of their homes sooner.

For promoters, this decision offers an opportunity to rebuild trust and transparency. Promoters who have now submitted all required documents can begin work on their projects in compliance with RERA regulations. This will boost investor confidence in the real estate sector and infuse new energy into the construction industry.

Additionally, this decision will also accelerate the state’s economic growth. The resumption of construction activities will generate employment for the workforce, increase demand for building materials, and enhance capital flow. Since the real estate sector contributes significantly to the state’s revenue, the revival of these projects will play a crucial role in Uttar Pradesh’s overall economic development.

Statement by the RERA Chairman

Sanjay R. Bhoosreddy, Chairman of UP RERA, said —

“The objective of RERA is to establish transparency and trust in the real estate sector. The decision to remove projects that have now completed all necessary documentation from the ‘Abeyance List’ is an important step in this direction. This will not only provide relief to homebuyers but also infuse fresh energy into the state’s economy. RERA is committed to ensuring that every project is completed in a transparent and rule-based manner.”
