Circular on QR Codes for Extended TNRERA Project Registrations
The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority issued Circular TN RERA/A3/1840/2026-3, dated 3 July 2025 in its heading and signed 3 July 2026, to clarify advertising requirements for real estate projects whose TNRERA registration validity has been extended. It requires the QR code in print, electronic and social media advertisements for such a project to contain Form-F as well as Form-C, and makes the clarification part of earlier comprehensive advertising directions.
What it governs
Circular TN RERA/A3/1840/2026-3 of the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority governs advertisements and promotions for a specific category of real estate project. It applies where the validity of the project's TNRERA registration has been extended under the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act and the rules framed under it, and Form-F has been issued.
The clarification covers advertisements released through print, electronic and social media.
Who it affects
Circular TN RERA/A3/1840/2026-3 is relevant to people and organisations releasing or arranging advertisements for TNRERA registered projects with an extended registration period. They must ensure that the advertisement's QR code contains the required registration documents.
Property buyers considering a project with extended registration can expect its advertisement QR code to include both documents identified by the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority. The circular does not explain the contents of Form-C or Form-F.
Key requirement
The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority specifies the following requirement for an advertised project whose registration validity has been extended:
- The project must have received an extension under the applicable Act and rules.
- Form-F must have been issued for the project.
- The QR code provided in the advertisement must contain Form-F.
- Form-F must be included along with Form-C, rather than replacing Form-C.
- The requirement applies to print, electronic and social media advertising.
Relationship with earlier directions
Circular TN RERA/A3/1840/2026-3 adds a clarification to earlier revised proceedings containing comprehensive directions for advertising and promoting real estate projects. The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority states that the clarification forms part of those earlier directions.
