Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025, Re-submission of Real Estate Project Registration Applications
The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority issued Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025 on 7 May 2025 to set out how incomplete real estate project registration applications may be handled after repeated re-submission. A promoter may receive two chances to provide requested information, after which a further re-submission may be treated as a fresh application, with 10 percent of the original registration fee forfeited and the remaining 90 percent adjusted.
What the circular governs
Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025, issued by the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority on 7 May 2025, concerns the scrutiny and re-submission of applications to register real estate projects. It applies where scrutiny officials require additional particulars, documents or clarifications from a promoter.
The circular states that scrutiny officials process project registration applications in compliance with the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, Rules, Regulations and circulars issued by the Authority.
Who is affected
Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025 directly affects promoters applying to the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority for registration of real estate projects. It also guides the scrutiny officials who examine those applications.
Promoters should respond fully when the Authority asks for further particulars, documents or clarification. Failure to comply after the available opportunities may result in financial consequences and the next re-submission being handled as a new application.
Key provisions
The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority sets out the following process:
- If scrutiny identifies missing information, documents or clarification, the promoter may be given two chances to comply with the queries raised by the Authority.
- If the promoter does not comply with the Authority's direction after using both chances, the next re-submission may be treated as a fresh application.
- When the re-submission is treated as fresh, 10 percent of the original registration fee paid by the promoter may be forfeited.
- The remaining 90 percent of the original fee may be adjusted against the registration fee applicable to the fresh application.
- The promoter must pay any deficit between the adjusted amount and the registration fee applicable to the fresh application.
Practical significance
Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025 makes timely and complete responses important during project registration scrutiny. The document uses the word "may" for giving two chances, treating a later re-submission as fresh, forfeiting 10 percent and adjusting the balance. It does not state that these steps happen automatically in every case.
The circular was also sent to the Senior Programmer for follow-up with the National Informatics Centre on updating the software.
