MahaRERA QPR due dates for 2026–27, and what happens when one is missed
MahaRERA expects promoters to update the progress of every registered project each quarter. The deadline is simple to state and easy to miss across a portfolio: the 20th of the month after each quarter ends.
The dates for 2026–27
Quarters follow the financial year, April to March.
| Quarter | Period | QPR due |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 1 April to 30 June 2026 | 20 July 2026 |
| Q2 | 1 July to 30 September 2026 | 20 October 2026 |
| Q3 | 1 October to 31 December 2026 | 20 January 2027 |
| Q4 | 1 January to 31 March 2027 | 20 April 2027 |
The annual audit report in Form 5 for 2025–26 was due by 30 September 2026, six months after the financial year ended. For 2026–27 it falls on 30 September 2027. Our QPR due dates page keeps the current and next year in one table.
Where the 20-day window comes from
MahaRERA first required quarterly updates within seven days of a quarter ending (Order No. 18/2021). Order No. 33/2022 replaced that with a 20-day window, which gives the dates above. MahaRERA has occasionally extended a deadline by order, so check its website before relying on a date in a year with unusual circumstances.
What a QPR contains
The quarterly update is more than a progress percentage. For each project it covers:
- Bookings: units booked, and sometimes garages or parking, as at the quarter end.
- Construction progress, supported by the architect’s certificate (Form 1) and the engineer’s certificate (Form 2).
- Finances, supported by the chartered accountant’s certificate (Form 3): money collected from allottees, cost incurred, and withdrawals from the designated account.
The certificates are where most of the time goes. Each one depends on a different professional, and each one has to agree with the figures you enter. We cover who signs what in Forms 1, 2, 3 and 5: who certifies what.
What MahaRERA does about missed QPRs
Missing a QPR is no longer a quiet lapse. After the January–March 2026 deadline of 20 April 2026, MahaRERA issued show cause notices to 8,212 projects that had not updated their reports, according to Outlook Money’s report of 4 May 2026. The largest share was in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, followed by Pune.
The notices gave promoters 60 days to respond. The consequences MahaRERA set out included:
- suspension of the project’s registration or keeping it in abeyance,
- freezing of the project’s bank accounts,
- restrictions on advertising and selling units, and
- a monetary penalty.
For a promoter, a frozen account or a sales stop costs far more than the effort of filing on time. For a consultant, every missed QPR is a difficult conversation with a client.
Making the 20th routine
Firms that file on time across many projects tend to work backwards from the due date rather than towards it:
- Two to three weeks before, send each architect, engineer and CA a request for their certificate, with the quarter-end figures they need.
- Ten days before, import the books and bank statements and reconcile them, so the CA certifies figures you have already checked.
- A week before, approve the figures internally and record who approved them.
- Two or three days before, file, leaving time for a portal problem.
- After filing, save the acknowledgement with the figures you filed.
We wrote that plan up in more detail in a QPR fortnight for firms filing 20 or more projects. ReraQPR is built around the same order: a register of every project’s due date and missing documents, reminders that go out on their own, and the acknowledgement stored at the end.
