# UP RERA extends QPR deadline to Oct 21 for digital signing shift 2026-10-10T22:01:09+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) has extended the deadline for submitting the Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, to October 21, 2026. The extension aims to facilitate the transition to a newly introduced digital signing and submission process for mandatory certificates. Under the revised procedure, promoters must submit the QPR along with digitally signed REG-1, REG-2 and REG-3 certificates. The architect must digitally sign the REG-1 certificate, the engineer the REG-2 certificate, and the chartered accountant the REG-3 certificate using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). UP-RERA stated the extension is intended to ensure a smooth transition to the revised digital procedure. Detailed procedural instructions and step-by-step technical guidance for the DSC-based submission are available on the UP RERA portal. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The deadline extension signals UP-RERA's recognition that first-time implementation of digital signatures for quarterly reports requires a learning curve for developers and professionals. The move directly affects all promoters registered with UP-RERA, who must now coordinate with architects, engineers and chartered accountants to ensure certificates are digitally signed before the October 21 deadline. The success of this transition will be measured by whether submissions are completed smoothly under the new system. The authority has made procedural guidance available on its portal, but has not indicated whether further extensions would be granted. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Straight factual reporting of the deadline extension and digital signing rule This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
