TG RERA Quarterly Reports: Due Dates, Late Fees and What Hyderabad Buyers Can Check
Telangana promoters must file quarterly progress reports within 15 days of each quarter end, by 15 April, July, October and January. TG RERA Circular II sets late fees of Rs 10,000 and then Rs 500 a day, plus Form 7 audit delay fees. What Hyderabad buyers can check.
October 15, 2026 was a deadline that came and went without much notice in Hyderabad. It was the date by which every promoter of a registered real estate project in Telangana was expected to upload a quarterly progress report for the July to September quarter. The next one falls on January 15, 2027. For a buyer paying construction-linked instalments, these reports are the regular, dated record of what the promoter says has been built and sold.
The Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority keeps a standing notice about this on its homepage, and it has put a price on missing it. This guide explains what the quarterly reports are, what late filing costs a promoter under TG RERA's own circular, and how a Hyderabad buyer can use the rules as a checklist.
The short answer. Under TG RERA Circular II dated 18.03.2025, promoters must file quarterly progress reports within 15 days from the end of each quarter, and from 01.04.2025 a late report costs Rs 10,000 per project for a delay of up to one month and Rs 500 per day after that. The annual Form 7 audit has its own delay fee, from Rs 10,000 for projects under Rs 25 crore to Rs 1,00,000 for projects above Rs 100 crore. The trade-off: these fees push promoters to file on time, but a fee paid is not the same as information delivered, so buyers still need to ask for the report itself.
What is a quarterly progress report, and when is it due?
It is the promoter's periodic update to the regulator on a registered project. Circular II states that "as per the section 11(1) (b) to (e)" of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, "read with Rule 14(1) (c)" of the Telangana Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017, "it is the duty of the promoter to submit quarterly progress reports to TG RERA authority within 15 days from the end of each quarter."
The TG RERA homepage carries a public notice that spells out the calendar: promoters are directed "to upload Quarterly reports (by 15/04, 15/07, 15/10, 15/01) within 15days from expiry of each quarter or else action will be initiated". The circular refers to these reports as "QPR's (Form-1, 2 & 3)". In 2026 the homepage also lists a "NEW FORM-3 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE (On Letter Head)" among its latest updates.
Why did TG RERA put a fee on late filing?
Because, by its own account, many promoters were not filing. Circular II records that the Authority "has observed that, many promoters not filing the QPR's (Form-1, 2 & 3) and Annual Audit report on statements of Accounts(Form-7) within the prescribed time". It lists the reminders that preceded the fee: an email to all promoters on 01.02.2024, a show cause notice on 17.05.2024, a circular dated 20.05.2024, and another show cause notice dated 25.09.2024.
The circular then states: "In spite of giving several opportunities, few promoters are still at default in filing the returns. The authority has taken a serious view of them, since the filing of QPR is very critical to monitor the financial strength of the project." That last line is the buyer's reason to care. The regulator itself describes the quarterly report as the tool for tracking a project's financial health.
Circular II also told promoters to file all pending quarterly reports, as on the date from registration, by 31st March, 2025, failing which Rs 500 per day would be levied as a late fee from 1st April, 2025.
How much does a late QPR or Form 7 cost a promoter?
Circular II sets out the fees payable from 01.04.2025. Here are the five figures a buyer is most likely to see quoted:
| Filing and delay | Delay fee per project | Basis in Circular II |
|---|---|---|
| QPR late by up to 1 month | Rs 10,000 | Due within fifteen days from the expiry of each quarter |
| QPR late beyond 1 month | Rs 500 per day until the QPR is filed | Due within fifteen days from the expiry of each quarter |
| Form 7, project cost above Rs 100 crore | Rs 1,00,000 per financial year | Due within six months after the end of every financial year |
| Form 7, project cost Rs 25 to 50 crore | Rs 25,000 per financial year | Due within six months after the end of every financial year |
| Form 7, project cost below Rs 25 crore | Rs 10,000 per financial year | Due within six months after the end of every financial year |
The same table in the circular lists a Form 7 delay fee of Rs 50,000 for projects costing Rs 50 to 100 crore. For FY 2025-26 specifically, TG RERA has since extended the Form 7 deadline, which PropNewz explains in its report on the Form 7 extension to 21.12.2026.
What does the annual audit add to the quarterly picture?
It adds a chartered accountant's verification of how the money was used. Circular II restates Section 4(2)(l)(D): the promoter "shall get his accounts audited within six months after the end of every financial year by a chartered accountant in practice", and "it shall be verified during the audit that the amounts collected for a particular project have been utilised for the project and the withdrawal has been in compliance with the proportion to the percentage of completion of the project."
Read together, the two filings give a buyer two different views. The quarterly reports are frequent. The annual audit is less frequent but carries a professional's sign-off on the use of funds. A buyer comparing a promoter's construction claims with their own site visits can use both as reference points.
The TG RERA FAQ fills in the rest of the money trail. On joint development projects, it says the Act makes both the promoter and the landowner, or any party that receives payments from allottees, co-promoters who must follow the Act, and that withdrawal of money from the designated account is subject to Section 4. On delays, it says a promoter who fails to keep to the completion schedule must pay an allottee who does not withdraw interest as specified in the Rules for every month of delay until possession, under Section 18. It adds that such interest "should be automatically paid" under the agreement, and that the buyer may have to file a complaint if it is not.
None of this requires a buyer to read balance sheets. It requires a buyer to know which documents exist, when each is due, and to ask for them in writing at the right time, so that any gap between what is promised and what is filed shows up early rather than at possession.
What should a Hyderabad advertisement show before you trust it?
Two numbers, in a specific place. A TG RERA public notice issued under Section 37 directs that advertisements of real estate projects in a prospectus, print media, hoardings or any other visual medium "shall mention the Competent Authorities PROJECT PERMIT NUMBER and REGISTRATION NUMBER along with TGRERA Website" in the top right corner, in a font size equal to or larger than the font used for the project contact details and address.
For FM radio, electronic media and SMS, the notice says the registration number "along with approval details of HMDA / GHMC / DTCP / Corporations / Municipalities / Grampanchayats shall be prominently mentioned". If an advertisement for a Hyderabad project, whether in Kukatpally, Kokapet or elsewhere, is missing either number, that is a reason to ask questions before paying a token amount. When you look up a listed project such as Candeur Arbora in Kukatpally, check the permit and registration numbers the same way.
How big is the TG RERA register today?
The TG RERA homepage displayed these counters when PropNewz checked it on November 7, 2026: 11,408 registered projects, 5,384 registered agents, 11 revoked projects or agents, 3,093 complainants, 1,981 complainants' matters disposed and 11 defaulters. These are the Authority's own running figures and will change over time.
The same homepage links a "Search Registered Projects and Agents" page, a "Register Complaint" portal, and lists of orders of the Authority and the Adjudicating Officer. For the wider rules on phases, co-promoters and amenity commitments, see PropNewz's guide to phased projects in Hyderabad.
A seven-step routine for buyers in an under-construction Hyderabad project:
- Find your project on the TG RERA search and note its registration number exactly.
- Check that every advertisement shows both the project permit number and the TG RERA registration number.
- Mark the four quarterly due dates in your calendar: 15 April, 15 July, 15 October and 15 January.
- After each due date, ask the promoter in writing whether the quarterly report was filed.
- Compare the promoter's stated progress with photographs from your own site visits.
- Note the Form 7 due date for FY 2025-26 and ask whether the audit has been filed.
- If concerns persist, use the TG RERA complaint portal and keep copies of every document.
