How to Book Eldeco Echoes of Eden — Step-by-Step

Initial Enquiry (No EOI)

Payment: None. This is a zero-commitment stage.

What you do: Share basic KYC (name, phone, email, city, loose budget band, preferred configuration). Note: Eldeco no longer takes a separate Expression of Interest for this project — Haven and Elysian towers are fully booked, and current availability is in Caelum only (2 BHK is sold out; 3/4 BHK remain).

Why it matters: In a tower with limited remaining inventory, the difference between a 15F park-facing corner unit and a 4F non-corner unit is decided at this stage. Earlier enquiry = better pick within Caelum.

Site Visit

Payment: None.

What you review: Master plan, tower layout, floor plans, sample unit (if ready), clubhouse plan, and the approved RERA brochure. Also walk the sector to understand orientation, road access, and neighbouring plots.

Output: A shortlist of 2–3 units across floor + configuration within Caelum (3/4 BHK — 2 BHK is sold out).

Booking Amount — Paid Directly

Payment: Up to 10% of BSP (the Sec-13(1) statutory cap for under-construction bookings), paid directly — there is no separate EOI or token step at Eldeco EOE. For a 3 BHK+2T (1,550 sq.ft) at current BSP ₹1.44 Cr, this is ~₹14.4 lakh. Payable by cheque or RTGS in favour of the developer-specified escrow account. Never pay to an individual or channel partner personal account.

What you get: Unit-specific allotment letter with tower, floor, unit number, carpet area, and initial cost sheet.

RERA checkpoint: Before paying, verify the project on the UP RERA portal (rera.up.gov.in) using UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026. Confirm the developer is registered and the project is in "Ongoing" status.

Agreement for Sale — The Real Contract

Payment: Within 90 days, top up to 30% of BSP, plus stamp duty on the AFS (nominal — actual sale-deed stamp duty is at registry stage).

What it is: The RERA-mandated binding contract between you and Eldeco. It specifies unit details, total cost, payment plan, possession date, defect liability, and cancellation terms.

Why this step is non-negotiable: Under RERA, any builder collecting more than 10% without executing a registered AFS is in violation. Do not make any payment beyond 10% without AFS. Read the AFS carefully — particularly the possession date (a RERA-bound commitment) and the force-majeure clause.

Loan Sanction

Payment: Bank processing fees (varies, typically 0.25–0.5% of loan amount).

Timeline: 7–14 days from application to sanction letter for a salaried profile. NRI and self-employed files take 2–3 weeks.

What you submit: Salary slips (3 months), Form 16 (2 years), bank statements (6 months), PAN, Aadhaar, property papers (builder provides), allotment letter, AFS.

Tip: Apply with 2 banks in parallel. Compare sanction letters on rate, tenure, processing fee, and part-prepayment terms. For a full bank-by-bank breakdown, read our Home Loan Guide for Yamuna Expressway 2026.

Payment Milestones

The 30:40:30 structure at EOE:

Possession Handover

Payment: Final 30% + stamp duty & registration charges (see Step 8).

What to verify: Occupancy Certificate (OC), Completion Certificate (CC), no objections from authority, IBMS corpus paid, and snag-list walkthrough with builder before you sign the handover letter. Read our full Possession & Construction Status Guide for the checklist.

Defect-liability: Per RERA, the builder is liable for structural defects for 5 years from possession. Record and report defects in writing within the first year for fastest resolution.

Registry

Payment: Stamp duty (7% in UP for men, 6% for women) + registration charge (1%) on the agreement value. On the ₹1.44 Cr entry (3 BHK+2T) unit, that's roughly ₹10.1–11.5 lakh.

Where: Sub-registrar office with jurisdiction over Sector 22D, along with the builder's authorised rep.

Post-registry: Apply for mutation in revenue records — this legally transfers ownership recognition. Keep the original registered sale deed and mutation order in a bank locker.
