In a significant move for homeowners in Uttar Pradesh, the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) has introduced Regulation 47(c), which limits the processing fees that builders can charge for the transfer of property allotments. Specifically, if the allotment is being transferred to a family member, the fee is capped at ₹1,000 (approximately $12 USD), while transfers to non-family members are capped at ₹25,000 (approximately $300 USD). This regulation is particularly beneficial in cases where an allottee passes away, making it easier and more affordable for family members to inherit property. Builders are now required to maintain the original agreement and only update their records instead of executing new agreements. Documentation needed for these transfers includes a death certificate, a succession certificate issued by local authorities, and no-objection certificates from all surviving heirs. This regulatory change aims to prevent builders from imposing excessive charges during the transfer process, ensuring a smoother transition for heirs.
