MahaRERA QPR Filing: Complete Guide to Quarterly Progress Reports

What is a QPR (Quarterly Progress Report)?

A Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) is a mandatory quarterly disclosure that every registered real estate project in Maharashtra must submit to MahaRERA. It is the primary mechanism through which RERA tracks project progress, financial health, and developer compliance.

QPRs must be filed for every registered project — regardless of whether any units were sold that quarter, or whether construction progressed significantly.

• Amount deposited in the designated escrow account
• Amount withdrawn from escrow (with purpose)
• Closing escrow balance
• Bank statement for the escrow account

Section 3: Cost Certificate

• CA-certified statement of project cost incurred to date
• ICAI membership number of certifying CA
• UDIN for the certification

Documents Required for QPR Filing

Penalties for Late or Incorrect QPR Filing

Violation	Penalty	Section
Late QPR filing	₹10,000 per day of default	RERA §63
Continued non-filing	Up to 5% of project cost	RERA §63
False information in QPR	Up to 3 years imprisonment + 10% of project cost	RERA §65
Escrow rule violation (<70%)	Prosecution + recovery proceedings	RERA §4(2)(l)

1,900+ MahaRERA projects were suspended in 2024–25 for QPR non-compliance. Suspension means your project is delisted from the portal — buyers cannot verify it, leading to sales freeze and potential consumer litigation.

The MahaRERA QPR Filing Process (Step by Step)

1. Gather documents: Collect architect certificate, bank statement, and cost certificate from your CA. This is typically the most time-consuming step — coordination between developer, architect, and CA.
2. Log in to MahaRERA portal: Go to maharera.maharashtra.gov.in and navigate to your project's QPR section.
3. Fill in all sections: Enter financial data, construction progress, escrow balance. Cross-check every number against your documents.
4. Upload documents: Attach all supporting documents in the required format.
5. CA certifies: Your CA reviews the draft QPR and certifies the cost statement with ICAI membership number and UDIN.
6. Submit and acknowledge: Submit the QPR and download the acknowledgement receipt. Keep this for your records.

Common QPR Filing Mistakes to Avoid

• Escrow balance mismatch: The escrow balance in your QPR must match the bank statement exactly. Any discrepancy triggers a RERA scrutiny.
• Wrong construction stage percentage: The architect certificate must reflect actual on-site progress — not aspirational progress.
• Expired UDIN: UDIN has a validity period. Using an expired UDIN on a cost certificate makes the certification invalid.
• Missing cost certificate: Every QPR requires a CA-certified cost statement. Submitting without it will be rejected.
• Filing for wrong quarter: Always verify you're filing for the current quarter, not a previous one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is QPR filing mandatory even if no units were sold this quarter?

Yes. QPR filing is mandatory for all registered projects regardless of sales activity. Even projects that are complete but have ongoing allottee obligations must file.

Can a developer file a QPR without a CA?

No. MahaRERA requires a CA-certified cost statement as part of every QPR. The CA must certify with their ICAI membership number and generate a UDIN for the certification.

What happens if my escrow balance is below 70%?

The 70% rule requires developers to maintain at least 70% of project collections in the designated escrow account. If your escrow balance falls below 70%, you are in violation of RERA §4(2)(l) and must rectify before filing. ReraDesk flags this automatically.

How far back can I file overdue QPRs?

You can file overdue QPRs, but late fees will apply for each quarter. MahaRERA typically requires all overdue QPRs to be filed before processing any extension requests.
