UP RERA Agent Training & Exam: 31 December 2026 Deadline
If you were registered as a UP RERA agent before January 2026 and have not yet passed UP RERA's 4-day training, this is the date that matters. Here is who must train, how to get a batch, what it costs, and the new record-keeping and quarterly return rules that came in this year.
48days left
UP RERA agent training deadline: 31 December 2026. Agents already registered in UP must finish UP RERA's 4-day training and get the certificate by then; new agents need it before they register. The training runs only at UP RERA's notified centres (₹6,000, exam on Day 4).
Our UP track helps you prepare, but it does not replace UP RERA's own training or exam. Date as per UP RERA's order of 5 January 2026 (as reported); check up-rera.in for any change.
Quick Answer
UP RERA agents registered before its order of 5 January 2026 must complete UP RERA's 4-day Agent Training Certification Programme and pass the Day-4 exam by 31 December 2026. The certificate is also needed for every fresh registration, renewal and amendment. Training costs ₹6,000 per person and is booked through the UP RERA portal.
The date
31 December 2026
As of 13 November 2026, that is about 6 weeks away. Batches run through the year, but each one holds a limited number of agents, so book a batch you can attend for all four days.

What the January 2026 Order Says
UP RERA issued an office order on 5 January 2026 under Regulation 54 of the UP RERA (General) Regulations 2019. It replaced training guidelines of 10 October 2025 and took effect at once. As reported by LiveLaw, it does three things:
Training before any application
Training and certification must be complete before an application for fresh registration, renewal or amendment of agent registration is submitted or processed.
A deadline for existing agents
Agents registered before the order must complete the training and be certified by 31 December 2026.
Firms, not just individuals
Partnerships, LLPs, companies and societies registered as agents must train a share of their partners, directors and sales staff.
We have not found the order itself on up-rera.in, so the details here are as reported by LiveLaw and real estate trade press. Check the current notice on the portal before you act.

All rows are as reported from the January 2026 order and UP RERA's August 2026 webinar. If you run an agency, list every partner, director and salesperson, mark who is already certified, and book the rest. Our guide on RERA training for brokerage firms covers how to plan this across a team.
Does the 31 December deadline apply to you?
Two worked examples for agencies
Firm A: 6 active partners, 20 sales staff. Half of 6 is 3, so the lower figure, 2 partners, train first. 25% of 20 staff is 5 staff in the first phase.
Firm B: 3 directors, one an NRI with no role in sales, and 6 sales staff. The NRI is exempt and not counted, leaving 2; half of 2 is 1 director. 25% of 6 is 1.5, rounded to 2 staff.
UP RERA Agent Training Registration: How to Book a Batch
1
Log in to the UP RERA portal
Use up-rera.in. Existing agents use their agent login; new applicants create a profile. Training registration and fee payment are online.
2
Complete your training profile
Enter your details. Firms list the partners, directors and staff to be trained, and upload exemption papers for NRI or sleeping partners.
3
Pay ₹6,000 per trainee
Pay online and keep the receipt. If you paid ₹5,000 under the earlier fee, pay the ₹1,000 balance from your login.
4
Confirm a batch
Pick dates and a centre you can attend for all four days. As reported, the fee may be forfeited if you confirm a batch and then do not attend even after a further chance.
5
Attend all four days and sit the exam
The exam is on Day 4. Only those who pass are certified.
6
Check the result and get your certificate
UP RERA posts batch results on up-rera.in. Its 44th-batch notice says certificates also appear on the registered agent's login dashboard.
UP RERA Agent Exam: Result, Pass Rate and Re-Attempt
UP RERA publishes a result notice for each batch on up-rera.in. Recent notices on its homepage cover the 37th batch (27 to 30 April 2026), the 39th (13 to 16 May 2026) and the 41st (27 to 30 May 2026). The 44th-batch notice gives a clear picture of how a batch runs:

So most candidates in that batch passed, but not all. UP RERA has not published the pass mark, the number of questions or the exam length. Ask the centre when you book. To warm up, try our free UP RERA mock test; it is practice only, not the official exam.
UP RERA Exam Syllabus: What the Four Days Cover
UP RERA has not published an exam syllabus, but its press releases for each batch name the sessions. Since the Day-4 paper tests what was taught, treat this list as your syllabus:
Session topic
What to know
RERA Act, UP RERA Rules and Regulations
Sections 3, 4, 9, 10, 13, 14, 18, 31, 62; agent registration (10 years), renewal in Form J
Contract Act and Transfer of Property Act
Valid contract (s.10), agent and principal (s.182), sale only by registered deed (TPA s.54), lis pendens (s.52), part performance (s.53A)
UP Apartment Act
Apartment ownership, common areas and the association of apartment owners
Promoter duties
Disclosure, quarterly updates, the 10% advance cap, structural defects for 5 years
Renewal and cancellation of agent registration
Grounds for revocation, Form J renewal, keeping the certificate current
Project bank account directions
Collection (100%), Separate (at least 70%) and Transaction (up to 30%) accounts; buyers pay only into the Collection Account (2026 revision)
PMLA
Agents with ₹20 lakh+ turnover are reporting entities: FIU-IND registration, KYC, record keeping, suspicious transaction reports
Stamp and registration
Circle rates, stamp duty, registration at the sub-registrar, IGRSUP
Promotion and marketing guidelines
RERA number and website on every advertisement, no misleading claims
Agent portal
Training profile, REG-8 register, quarterly REG-9 returns
Be careful with exam "facts" you find online
UP RERA has not published the number of questions, the time allowed or the pass mark, and it does not release past papers. Figures such as "50 questions, 40% to pass" belong to Maharashtra's MahaRERA exam, a different test. What UP RERA has published is results: by its press releases, 1,627 candidates had passed by the 39th batch, and by August 2026 it had run 45 programmes with nearly 2,000 people trained.
How to Prepare in Two Weeks
Days 1–3: The RERA Act
Definitions (allottee, promoter, real estate agent, carpet area), registration of projects and agents, Sections 10, 13, 14 and 18, and the penalty sections.
Days 4–5: UP rules and orders
Agent registration and renewal, the January 2026 training order, REG-8 and REG-9, the 2026 project bank account directions.
Days 6–7: Property law basics
Contract Act and Transfer of Property Act sections above, stamp duty and registration in UP, khasra-khatauni and mutation.
Days 8–9: Money and compliance
PMLA duties, cash limits, advertising rules and the documents an agent must check.
Days 10–12: Practice
Timed question sets, then reread whatever you got wrong. Our free UP mock test is a start.
Days 13–14: Light revision
One page of numbers: fees, time limits, percentages. Then rest before Day 1 of the batch.
UP RERA Agent Exam: 10 Practice Questions
These are written by RERACertified on the topics above. They are not UP RERA exam questions. Tap a question to see the answer.
1. How long is UP RERA's agent training programme?
4 days, non-residential, with the exam on Day 4.
2. What is the training fee per person?
₹6,000, paid online. A re-attempt after failing costs ₹3,000.
3. By when must agents registered before 5 January 2026 be certified?
31 December 2026.
4. An agency has 6 active partners. How many must train first?
2 — the lesser of half the partners (3) or two.
5. Into which account must a buyer in a UP project pay instalments and home-loan money?
Only the project's Collection Account, under UP RERA's 2026 project bank account directions.
6. At what annual turnover does a real estate agent become a reporting entity under the PMLA?
₹20 lakh or more (notification of 29 November 2022).
7. Does an agreement to sell transfer ownership of a flat?
No. Under Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act, ownership passes only by a registered sale deed; an agreement to sell creates no interest by itself.
8. Within how many days of a quarter's end is Form REG-9 due?
15 days. Late filing costs ₹10,000 per quarter.
9. How long is a UP RERA agent registration valid?
10 years, under Rule 10(3) of the UP RERA Rules.
10. What is the penalty for an agent who works without registration?
Up to ₹10,000 a day, up to 5% of the cost of the plot, apartment or building (Section 62).
After You Pass
Check the result notice on up-rera.in; the certificate also appears on your agent login dashboard.
As reported, certificates are handed over at UP RERA headquarters in Lucknow.
Apply for your registration, renewal or amendment, which UP RERA now processes only with the certificate.
If you move to another agency, your certificate stays valid, and you can use it later for your own registration (as reported from the January 2026 order).

What Happens If You Miss 31 December 2026
UP RERA has not published a specific penalty for missing the date, and we will not guess one. What has been reported:
No renewal or amendment without the certificate
The January 2026 order, as reported, says these applications are processed only once the applicant holds the training certificate.
Effect on the right to do business
Trade press reporting on the order said non-compliance will affect an agent's registration status and right to conduct business under UP RERA in future.
Lapsed agents removed from projects
In February 2025, UP RERA was reported to have removed about 2,707 agents with lapsed registrations from the agent section of projects, so they could no longer facilitate sales in registered projects.
Working unregistered
Section 9 of the RERA Act bars agents from facilitating sales in registered projects without registration. Section 62 allows a penalty of up to ₹10,000 a day, up to 5% of the cost of the unit.
UP RERA could extend the date or issue a fresh notice. Until it does, plan to be certified by 31 December 2026.
Also New in 2026: Books of Account and Quarterly REG-9 Returns
Training is not the only change this year. The 11th amendment to the UP RERA (General) Regulations 2019 was notified on 29 May 2026 and announced by UP RERA in June 2026. It renamed Regulation 54 "The Real Estate Agent Enrolment, Training, Certification and Statutory Compliances" and added ongoing duties for registered agents, as reported:
Duty
Detail
Books and registers
Cash book, journal, ledger and customer registers, in formats UP RERA prescribes
Transaction register
Form REG-8: customer, project and unit details, price, booking date and commission (UP RERA webinar, Aug 2026)
How long to keep records
At least 5 years from project completion or the registered sale or lease deed, as applicable
Quarterly return
Form REG-9: transactions facilitated and employee details, filed online within 15 days of each quarter's end
First filing
Must disclose all transactions facilitated since you obtained UP RERA registration
Late fee
₹10,000 for each delayed quarterly return
Inspection
Records must be produced to UP RERA or its officers during an inquiry or investigation
UP RERA then brought all 12 amendments to the 2019 General Regulations into one consolidated text, the 12th amendment having been notified on 13 July 2026, as reported in August 2026. If you are reading the regulations for the first time, use the consolidated version rather than the original 2019 text.
The quarter ending 31 December 2026 has a REG-9 due date of 15 January 2027, two weeks after the training deadline. It makes sense to sort your training and your records together.
Validity: 10 Years, Not 5
Rule 10(3) of the UP RERA Rules sets agent registration at 10 years, a change reported in 2022 when certificates issued in 2017 were amended to run for ten years. So many agents registered years ago are still within their first term. The training deadline applies to them regardless: being mid-term does not exempt you from the 31 December 2026 date.
RERACertified™ Pro is not the UP RERA mandatory training
RERACertified sells RERACertified™ Professional (RCP), a self-paced online course on the RERA Act and UP RERA rules, at ₹4,999. It is an optional private certification. It does not give you the UP RERA training certificate, it does not count towards the 31 December 2026 deadline, and it does not replace UP RERA agent registration. Only UP RERA's own 4-day programme and Day-4 exam do that.
If you want to revise before your batch, these are free:
✓Check your registration date and expiry on up-rera.in
✓Log in and see whether a training certificate shows on your dashboard
✓If not, complete your training profile and pay ₹6,000
✓Book a batch you can attend all four days
✓Firms: list partners, directors and staff and who still needs training
✓Set up your cash book, ledger and REG-8 register if you have not
✓Diary 15 January 2027 for the REG-9 return for Oct to Dec 2026
✓Keep the payment receipt, result notice and certificate together
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the last date for UP RERA agent training?
31 December 2026. Under UP RERA's office order of 5 January 2026, as reported by LiveLaw, agents registered before the order must complete the training and be certified by that date. New applicants have no separate deadline: they must be certified before they apply for registration.
Is UP RERA training needed for renewal of agent registration?
Yes. The January 2026 order, as reported, makes the training certificate a pre-condition for fresh registration, renewal and amendment of agent registration. Applications are processed only once the training certificate is in place.
How does the UP RERA agent exam work?
The exam is held on Day 4 of a 4-day, non-residential training programme. Only candidates who pass are certified. UP RERA's official result for the 44th batch (15 to 18 July 2026 at NIET, Greater Noida) shows 43 of 52 enrolled agents passed. Those who fail or are absent can re-attend a later batch by applying with a ₹3,000 demand draft.
How much does UP RERA agent training cost?
₹6,000 per participant, paid online, which covers the 4 days and the Day-4 exam. Anyone who paid ₹5,000 under the earlier fee pays ₹1,000 more. A re-attempt after failing costs ₹3,000. The ₹25,000 registration fee for an individual is separate.
What happens if I miss the 31 December 2026 deadline?
UP RERA has not published a specific penalty for missing the date. As reported, uncertified agents cannot get a renewal or amendment processed, and trade press has said non-compliance will affect the right to do business under UP RERA. UP RERA has removed agents with lapsed registrations from project listings before, so a registration that cannot be renewed is a real business risk.
Do sales staff of a UP agency need training by 31 December 2026?
As reported, a firm, LLP or company must train at least half its partners or directors, or two of them, whichever is less, before applying. 25% of sales and marketing staff train in the first phase and the rest later. At UP RERA's August 2026 webinar, as reported, existing employees were told to apply by 31 December 2026 and new hires when they join.
Is the RERACertified™ Pro course the same as UP RERA training?
No. RERACertified sells RERACertified™ Professional (RCP), a private online course. It is not UP RERA's mandatory Agent Training Certification Programme, it does not give you the UP RERA training certificate, and it does not replace agent registration. Only UP RERA's own programme counts for registration and renewal.
What topics does the UP RERA Day-4 exam cover?
UP RERA has not published a syllabus for the exam itself, so the best guide is what the four days teach. Its press releases list sessions on the RERA Act and UP RERA Rules and Regulations, the Contract Act and Transfer of Property Act, the UP Apartment Act, promoter duties, renewal and cancellation of agent registration, project bank account directions, the PMLA, stamp and registration law, guidelines for promoting and marketing projects, and the agent portal.
Are there previous year papers for the UP RERA agent exam?
No. UP RERA does not publish past papers, the number of questions or the pass mark. Sites that quote 50 questions and a 40% pass mark are usually copying Maharashtra's MahaRERA exam, which is a different exam run by a different authority. Practice questions, including ours, are written by the publisher, not taken from UP RERA papers.
If I change agency, do I need to train again?
As reported from the January 2026 order, a certificate earned while working for one firm stays valid if you move to another, and can be used later for your own individual registration.
What is Form REG-9 for UP RERA agents?
As explained at UP RERA's August 2026 webinar and reported by trade press, REG-9 is the quarterly return an agent files within 15 days of each quarter's end, covering transactions facilitated and employee details. The 11th amendment to the UP RERA (General) Regulations 2019 brought in these returns, with a ₹10,000 late fee for each delayed quarter.
Nov 9, 2026 (later) — Added a "does this apply to me" checker, worked examples for agencies, the four-day session topics, a note on unreliable exam figures, a two-week study plan, 10 practice questions, an after-you-pass section, three FAQs and a Hindi version. Nov 9, 2026 — Published. Covers the 5 January 2026 order and 31 December 2026 deadline, who must train, booking, the 44th-batch result, costs, reported consequences, and the 11th amendment's records and REG-9 returns.

RERACertified™ Pro's Uttar Pradesh track covers the RERA Act, UP RERA rules and day-to-day practice. Take it alongside UP RERA's training, not instead of it.
RERACertified sells this course. RERACertified™ Pro is a private certification and does not replace UP RERA's mandatory training or state RERA agent registration.
