APRERA (Andhra Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority) is the state RERA authority for Andhra Pradesh, headquartered in Amaravati (Guntur district). It was established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, with rules notified on 27 March 2017.
With the Chandrababu Naidu government returning to power in June 2024 and aggressively reviving Amaravati as the state capital, APRERA has significantly stepped up enforcement. Circular P/9/2025 (March 28, 2025) specifically imposed penalties for delayed QPR submission and introduced an uninterrupted filing link requirement.
AP RERA requires quarterly compliance within 21 days after the quarter ends — slightly more time than MahaRERA's 15-day window.
AP RERA's quarterly compliance is more detailed than most states. It requires three separate certified documents, called the "RERA Return":
| Project Size | Penalty for Delayed QPR |
|---|---|
| Buildings up to 20 units or layouts up to 5 acres | ₹10,000 per missed quarter |
| Buildings over 20 units or layouts over 5 acres | ₹20,000 per missed quarter |
| 3 consecutive missed QPRs | Services disabled — cannot extend project, change details |
From May 16, 2025, APRERA began publishing defaulters publicly on the portal and enabling penalty-based QPR filing for those who missed the grace period.
Andhra Pradesh RERA registration numbers follow this format: AP/01/YYYY/NNNNN
For example: AP/01/2024/00001
Some older registrations may use the format: APRERA/YYYY/NNNNN
| Item | MahaRERA | APRERA |
|---|---|---|
| Forms required | QPR form + CA cert | Form 1 + Form 2 + Form 3 |
| Engineer Certificate | Not required | Mandatory (Form 2) |
| Filing deadline | 15th after quarter | 21st after quarter |
| Penalty (small project) | ₹10,000/day | ₹10,000/quarter |
| Penalty (large project) | Up to 5% project cost | ₹20,000/quarter |
| Defaulter publication | Portal notice | Public name & shame portal |
ReraDesk's AP RERA module handles all three forms in a single workflow:
Note: AP RERA integration is live in Q2 2026. MahaRERA and TSRERA are available now.
Yes. AP RERA requires Form 2 from the project engineer as part of the quarterly RERA Return, in addition to Form 1 (architect) and Form 3 (CA). This is unique to AP RERA compared to most other states.
No. Form 3 must be certified by a Chartered Accountant with ICAI membership number and UDIN. The CA's professional certification is mandatory.
APRERA disables all services for the promoter — including project extensions, corrections, and other modifications. The project may also be published on the defaulters list, which is publicly visible.
