Extending a RERA Registration in Haryana: Form REP-V, Timing and Fee

Under section 6 of the Act a RERA registration can be extended for force majeure, but by no more than one year in aggregate. In Haryana the promoter applies in Form REP-V three months before the registration expires and pays half the registration fee, which the Authority may waive for force majeure, court orders or Government decisions (rule 6 of the Haryana Rules). HRERA Panchkula also charges a late fee when the application is filed within the last 90 days before expiry.

What does the Act say about extending a registration?

Section 6 of the Act allows the Authority to extend a registration on an application made by the promoter due to force majeure, on payment of the fee specified by regulations. The Authority may extend it, in reasonable circumstances and without default on the part of the promoter, for the time it considers necessary, but the extension shall not, in aggregate, exceed one year. So the Act sets a ceiling of one year in total, however many applications are made.

The Explanation to section 6 says what counts as force majeure: war, flood, drought, fire, cyclone, earthquake or any other calamity caused by nature affecting the regular development of the project. The application therefore needs to show what happened and how it affected the regular development of the project, not just that the work is late.

What do the Haryana Rules add?

Rule 6 of the Haryana Rules turns the Act into a procedure.

• Form. The promoter applies in Form REP-V.
• Timing. The application is made three months prior to the expiry of the registration. The 2019 Amendment Rules removed the words "in triplicate within" from rule 6(1).
• Fee. The application is accompanied by an amount equivalent to half the registration fee, along with an explanatory note setting out the reasons for the delay and the need for the extension, with supporting documents.
• Waiver. Where the extension is due to force majeure, court orders or Government policy, guidelines or decisions, the Authority may, at its discretion, waive the extension fee.
• Outcome. An extension that is granted is communicated in Form REP-VI. A rejection is communicated in Form REP-IV.

The rule has a calendar consequence. If the registration expires on 31 March, the application is due by 31 December. A promoter who starts to think about an extension in the last month has already missed the date in the Rules.

Is there a late fee at HRERA Panchkula?

Yes. HRERA Panchkula covers Hisar, Hansi, Uklana, Fatehabad, Sirsa, Bhiwani, Jind and the rest of Haryana outside Gurugram district. In a resolution of 7 August 2024 it recorded that it charges a late fee when an extension application is filed within the last 90 days before the registration expires. This guide does not repeat the rates, because the Authority's resolutions can change and the current ones are on its website. The planning point is the same either way: file in good time.

Our free due-dates tool works out the date three months before your expiry and can email you a reminder.

What should the application contain?

Because the Act speaks of force majeure and the Rules ask for an explanatory note with supporting documents, the strength of an application lies in its explanation. A useful note usually covers:

1. The cause. What happened, with dates, and the documents that show it, such as orders, notices or letters.
2. The effect. Which work stopped or slowed, for how long, and how that moved the completion date.
3. The new date. The revised completion date, and why it is realistic.
4. The position of buyers. How many units are booked and what has been handed over, so the Authority sees the stakes for allottees.
5. The compliance record. The state of the separate project account and the quarterly updates filed so far. See our guide to the quarterly update.

What mistakes should a promoter avoid?

• Counting from the wrong date. The three months run back from the expiry date that applies to your registration today.
• Treating the one-year ceiling as per application. The ceiling is in aggregate. Several short extensions still add up to one year at most.
• Applying without the explanatory note. The Rules ask for it with the fee.
• Assuming the fee will be waived. The waiver is at the Authority's discretion. Plan on paying unless it is granted.
• Letting the registration lapse while you wait. If the date has passed, get the Authority's current orders for your project looked at straight away.

What does this guide not cover?

The Authority issues resolutions and office orders on extensions from time to time, and they can change. Read the current ones on haryanarera.gov.in before you apply. This guide also gives no fee in rupees: the registration fee on which the extension fee is based is to be verified by our expert team.
