At Eldeco Echoes of Eden the paper arrives in a fixed order — payment receipt, allotment letter, Agreement for Sale, then milestone demand letters, and at the end no-dues, possession letter, sale deed and occupancy certificate. Only the Agreement for Sale creates an enforceable claim, and only the sale deed transfers ownership. Every one of these should agree with the UP RERA register entry for UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026 on four fields: promoter (Eldeco Sohna Projects Limited), project, plot (GH-01B/1, Sector 22D) and declared completion (January 2031). Where they disagree, the register is the version that counts. Last reviewed: .
Which document actually proves anything?
Buyers usually assume the allotment letter is the important one, because it is the first document with their name and a unit number on it. It is not. Ranked by what each one can actually do for you:
- Payment receipt — proves money moved. Nothing more.
- Allotment letter — records that a specific unit has been set against your name on the developer's books.
- Agreement for Sale (AFS) — the contract. Registered at the sub-registrar, this is what you would enforce, and what a RERA complaint would be decided against.
- Sale deed — executed at possession. This is the document that transfers ownership.
The practical consequence: the period between paying the booking amount and signing the AFS is the stretch where you are holding the least protection. Keep it short, and read the AFS before you enter it rather than after.
What arrives first, and what to check on it
Booking at this project is direct — a booking amount of up to 10% of BSP, which is the Section 13(1) statutory cap, with no separate EOI step. The receipt and the allotment letter follow.
On the allotment letter, check five fields against the register entry before you pay anything further: promoter name, project name, plot, your unit's tower/floor/number, and the areas — the RERA carpet area as well as the super area you were quoted on. Then check that the payment schedule printed on the letter is the 30:40:30 construction-linked plan, and that the total consideration matches your cost sheet line by line. Our quote decoder exists to make that second comparison quick.
The Agreement for Sale — read it before you pay
The AFS is the document that binds both sides, and it is where the clauses that matter live: cancellation and the deductions that apply, what happens if completion slips past the declared date, what possession-stage charges become due, and how a transfer to another buyer would work. Three of those are things buyers only discover when they need them.
You can ask for the draft before committing. Our desk sends the draft AFS and the allotment-letter format on request, and walks through the clauses in plain English — the sequencing that protects you is to read the contract first and pay second. The mechanics of registering the AFS, e-stamping and the sub-registrar appointment are covered separately in the registration timeline.
Demand letters — what a valid one looks like
Under a construction-linked plan, money becomes due because a construction stage was reached, not because a date arrived. A demand letter should therefore name the milestone, tie it to the schedule in your AFS, state the amount due against that stage, and give the RERA-registered collection account. If a letter does not name the milestone, ask for that in writing before paying it. The stage-by-stage structure is set out on the payment plan page, and current site progress on the construction status page.
If you are taking a home loan
A financed purchase adds paper on the lender's side: the sanction letter, a tripartite arrangement between you, the lender and the developer, and the developer's no-objection for the mortgage. Disbursement is then made against the same milestones, which is why the demand letter and the lender's schedule need to stay in step. The panel of lenders that have approved this project, and the document set each asks for, are on the approved bank list.
What comes at possession
The declared completion on the RERA filing is January 2031. The handover sequence is: occupancy certificate for the tower, no-dues confirmation once the final instalment and possession-stage charges are settled, the possession letter, the sale deed registered at the sub-registrar, and mutation in municipal records afterwards. You should also keep the signed snag list from your inspection walk — that is the reference the defect-liability cover is measured against, which the handover and defect liability page covers in full.
The full sequence, in one table
| Document | When it arrives | The one thing to check |
|---|---|---|
| Payment receipt | On each payment | Paid into the project's RERA collection account, not an individual's |
| Allotment letter | Straight after the booking amount | Unit, both areas and total consideration match your cost sheet |
| Agreement for Sale (AFS) | After allotment, registered at the sub-registrar | Cancellation, delay and possession-charge clauses — read before paying |
| Demand letters | At each construction milestone | Names the milestone reached, not just a date |
| Sanction letter, tripartite, mortgage NOC | If you finance the purchase | Lender's disbursement stages match the AFS schedule |
| Occupancy certificate | Before handover of the tower | Issued for your tower specifically |
| No-dues and possession letter | At handover | Possession-stage charge heads are itemised, not bundled |
| Sale deed and mutation | At and after possession | This is the document that transfers ownership |
Charge heads such as PLC, club, IBMS and parking are named on your cost sheet and again at possession. We publish the heads; the rupee figures against your specific unit come from the desk in writing rather than off a web page, because they move with floor, configuration and the date you book.
Bottom line
The document trail at a RERA-registered project is not decoration — each item is the evidence for a different claim, and the order they arrive in is the order your protection increases. The two moves that matter most are reading the AFS before the booking amount leaves your account, and checking every document that arrives against the register entry rather than against the brochure.
