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, dated 7 May 2025, on handling incomplete applications for registration of real estate projects. It allows two chances for a promoter to answer scrutiny queries, after which a further resubmission may be treated as a fresh application, with 10 percent of the original registration fee forfeited and the balance adjusted.
What the circular governs
Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025, dated 7 May 2025, was issued by the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority at Egmore, Chennai. It gives scrutiny officials a process for dealing with applications for registration of real estate projects when additional particulars, documents or clarifications are required.
Scrutiny officials process project registration applications in line 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 primarily affects promoters who apply to the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority to register real estate projects. It also guides the Authority's scrutiny officials when reviewing those applications.
Property buyers are not directly required to submit anything under the circular. However, the process may affect whether and how a promoter's project registration application proceeds when the application is incomplete or requires clarification.
Process for incomplete applications
The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority sets out the following approach:
- If scrutiny identifies a need for additional particulars, documents or clarifications, the promoter may be given two chances to comply with the Authority's queries.
- If the promoter does not comply with the Authority's directions after using those two chances, the application may be treated as a fresh application when it is next resubmitted.
- Treating the resubmission as fresh is expressed as a possibility, rather than an automatic result.
Registration fee consequences
Circular No. TNRERA/A3/1676/2025 provides the following fee treatment when a later resubmission is treated as a fresh application:
- The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority may forfeit 10 percent of the original registration fee paid by the promoter.
- The remaining 90 percent 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.
Promoters should therefore respond fully to requests for further particulars, documents and clarifications within the opportunities provided.
