Registration is the same as anywhere in Uttar Pradesh. The market is not: leasehold land, three development authorities, a registry backlog and a new airport shape every deal.
To work as a real estate agent in Noida or Greater Noida, register with UP RERA, not Delhi RERA. Uttar Pradesh first requires a 4-day training ending in a Day-4 exam (₹6,000), then a ₹25,000 registration valid for 10 years. Locally, you also need to know the leasehold rules of the Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA authorities.
RERACertified™ Professional (RCP) with the Uttar Pradesh track covers the RERA Act, UP RERA rules and the Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA authorities in self-paced modules. RERACertified sells this course. It is a private certification and does not replace UP RERA agent registration or the mandatory UP RERA training.

Yes, if you facilitate sales in RERA-registered projects for a fee. Noida, Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway are in Uttar Pradesh, so a Delhi registration does not help here, and selling in Gurugram or Delhi needs those registrations too. Our Haryana vs Delhi RERA comparison explains how NCR agents split their compliance.
A registered firm's registration covers sales it makes in its own name through its staff, and the firm answers for them. Anyone closing deals in their own name needs a personal registration, and UP's training order applies to each person.
The process is statewide, so we cover it in full in How to Become a RERA Agent in Uttar Pradesh. In short:
Plan on about ₹31,000 for a fresh individual. Training batches have been reported at NIET, Greater Noida, and fill up near deadlines. Other states are in our RERA agent fees comparison.
UP RERA's head office is in Lucknow, with an NCR regional office in Greater Noida where, as reported in 2022, Authority members hear NCR complaints. In February 2024 UP RERA told promoters and agents to send registration documents to Lucknow instead, to cut verification delays.
Most land here is leased out by an industrial development authority under the UP Industrial Area Development Act, 1976, and the authority, not just the builder, decides when a buyer gets a registry. Brochures say "Noida Extension" or "near Jewar" loosely. Your job is to name the actual authority.
| Authority | Set up | Area it controls | What it decides for your deal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noida Authority | 1976 | Noida's numbered sectors, including the Noida Expressway belt | Land allotment, building plans, OC and completion certificates, resale transfer memorandum |
| Greater Noida (GNIDA) | 28 Jan 1991 | Greater Noida, including Greater Noida West (sold as "Noida Extension") | The same for its area; signs the tripartite sub-lease deed for flats |
| YEIDA | 24 Apr 2001 | 1,187 notified villages in six districts along the Yamuna Expressway, including the airport area | Plot schemes (often by draw), group housing allotments, approvals and transfers |
The authority keeps ownership and grants a long-term lease; the term and lease rent are in the lease deed. For a flat, the chain usually runs:
Transfer charges have changed several times. Housing.com, citing the Noida Authority, reports that the residential rate fell from 5% to 2.5% of the allotment rate from 24 September 2021, and that transfers between blood relatives were exempted in August 2022. GNIDA and YEIDA use their own schedules. Treat these as reported and get the current figure from the authority before you quote a total cost.
Many builders bought land from the authorities on instalments and then stopped paying. The authorities blocked sub-lease deeds until dues were cleared, so families moved in with possession letters but no registry. Some builders went into insolvency; the Supreme Court ordered Amrapali's stalled projects completed and Supertech's Sector 93A twin towers demolished (August 2022).
The 2021 Supreme Court ruling Newtech Promoters v State of UP also came from this market: refunds and delay interest go to the Authority, compensation to the Adjudicating Officer.
"Registry pending" can mean registries are running, the builder has not joined the package, or the builder is in insolvency. Find out which before you price or sell the flat.
Noida International Airport at Jewar, in YEIDA's area, is run by Yamuna International Airport Pvt Ltd, a Zurich Airport International company. Commercial flights began on 15 June 2026 with an IndiGo service from Lucknow.
It has brought more YEIDA plot schemes, investor enquiries and "airport" marketing. It has not changed the rules: check the project is on UP RERA, confirm the YEIDA allotment, and never promise appreciation. Such promises are the false representations Section 10(c) prohibits, and the first thing a buyer quotes in a complaint.
Deeds are registered at the sub-registrar offices of Gautam Buddh Nagar district (Sadar, Dadri and Jewar tehsils). Stamp duty and appointments go through IGRS UP (igrsup.gov.in), which also searches registered deeds. Before any resale, use it to confirm the seller's sub-lease deed is registered.
Eight UP modules cover UP RERA practice, the Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA authorities, Khasra-Khatauni records and circle rates, plus case studies on lease disputes and stuck registries.
Explore the Uttar Pradesh track →| Check | Where | What a red flag looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Project on UP RERA, with orders | up-rera.in project search | Not registered, expired with no extension, tower missing from the registered phase, or many refund and delay orders |
| Which authority and allotment | Allotment or lease deed, authority website | No authority allotment, or a different authority from the one in the brochure |
| Builder's land dues and package status | Noida Authority / GNIDA / YEIDA notices, builder's written statement | Dues outstanding with no 25% payment under the 2023 package |
| Occupancy certificate (OC) | Authority, builder; ask for the OC covering that tower | Possession given without an OC, or a part-OC that excludes the tower |
| Registry status of the unit | IGRS UP deed search, seller's sub-lease deed | Seller has only an allotment letter, or the deed number does not appear |
| Builder insolvency | IBBI public announcements; NCLT case status; company CIN from MCA | The company, or the group SPV that owns the project, is under CIRP or liquidation |
| Seller's dues and loans | Builder's no-dues letter, lender's NOC | Unpaid instalments or maintenance, or a home loan with no closure letter |
Homebuyers count as financial creditors under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. If a builder is in CIRP, the IBBI page names the resolution professional, and a resale buyer's position depends on the resolution plan. For project checks in general, see how to check a builder's RERA registration.
The situation. Priya wants a resale 2BHK in Greater Noida West. The seller has an allotment letter, builder-buyer agreement and possession letter, but no registered sub-lease deed. The builder says registries "will start soon".
What the agent checks:
What the agent explains, in writing. Until the sub-lease deed is registered, Priya has contractual rights against the builder, not registered title. The registry date depends on the builder's dues and GNIDA, not the seller. Stamp duty comes later and must be budgeted. If the builder defaults, her remedy runs through UP RERA, or the IBC process if it is insolvent. A price that ignores these risks is the deal that comes back to the agent as a complaint.
