The Escrow Rule — 70% Protection
This is the most material financial protection RERA provides. Section 4(2)(l)(D) of RERA requires every registered developer to maintain a dedicated project account, into which a minimum of 70% of all buyer collections must be deposited — and from which funds can only be withdrawn against certified construction expenditure and land cost, validated by a Chartered Accountant and Engineer.
Where Your Money Goes
All amounts paid for Eldeco Echoes of Eden — booking amount, construction-phase instalments, and possession charges — must be deposited into the RERA-mandated project escrow account held with HDFC Bank.
Funds are deposited in a RERA-mandated escrow account; verify the full account details on the UP RERA portal under UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026.
Escrow account details (including account number and IFSC) are filed with UP RERA and verifiable on the portal. Always pay via banking channel (RTGS/NEFT) directly to the developer's declared account. Never pay cash or route through a third party.
- 70% minimum rule: At least 70% of every collection from buyers is locked in the escrow. The developer cannot withdraw this for any purpose other than project construction and land costs.
- Milestone-linked release: Escrow funds are released by the bank only against certifications by an Engineer and Chartered Accountant. This means no advance withdrawals before work is physically done.
- Audit trail: The developer must maintain accounts audited by a registered CA and upload financial statements to UP RERA quarterly. Buyers can review these.
- Your payments go directly to escrow: Payment channels should route to the developer's RERA-declared account. Vidastu Advisory (channel partner) does not handle buyer funds — all amounts are paid directly to Eldeco Sohna Projects Limited's RERA escrow.
Your Statutory Rights as a Buyer
RERA grants buyers enforceable rights that cannot be waived by any Agreement for Sale clause. These apply irrespective of which agent you booked through.
Possession Guarantee or Compensation
If possession is delayed beyond the RERA-registered date (January 2031), you are entitled to interest at SBI MCLR+2% per annum on all amounts paid — for every month of delay. You can also choose to exit and receive a full refund with interest.
AFS Before 10% Is Collected
The developer cannot collect more than 10% of the total consideration without executing a RERA-compliant Agreement for Sale with you. The AFS must include the detailed payment schedule, floor plan, specifications, and penalty clauses.
5-Year Structural Defect Warranty
If any structural defect, defective workmanship, or failure to comply with specifications appears within 5 years of possession, the developer must repair it at no cost to you within 30 days of your written notice.
Resident Welfare Association
The developer must facilitate formation of a Resident Welfare Association (RWA) within 3 months of a majority of units being allotted. The RWA takes over maintenance and common-area management from the developer.
Quarterly Progress Updates
The developer is required to file quarterly updates on construction status, financial utilisation, and any changes to project specifications on the UP RERA portal. You can access these at any time.
Right to Information Disclosure
Before booking, the developer must provide you with the approved building plan, layout plan, structural design, specifications, and all approvals. These are also available on the UP RERA portal under the project registration.
Delay Penalties — What RERA Mandates
RERA's penalty structure for developers is one of the most substantive changes the Act brought to Indian real estate. These are statutory, not contractual — they cannot be negotiated away.
| Scenario | Your Entitlement |
|---|---|
| Possession delayed past RERA date — you choose to stay | Interest at SBI MCLR+2% per annum on total amounts paid, from the date of delay to the date of possession. Paid monthly. |
| Possession delayed past RERA date — you choose to exit | Full refund of all amounts paid + interest at SBI MCLR+2% from date of receipt to date of refund. |
| Structural defect within 5 years of possession | Free repair or replacement within 30 days of notice. |
| Failure to obtain Occupancy Certificate (OC) | Developer cannot hand over possession without OC; buyers entitled to compensation under RERA complaint mechanism. |
| Developer non-compliance with RERA orders | UP RERA can impose penalties up to 10% of project cost and/or imprisonment up to 3 years. |
The interest rate benchmark (SBI MCLR+2%) is reset periodically by the RBI. For reference, SBI 1-year MCLR as of early 2026 is approximately 8.75%–9.0%, making the effective penalty rate on developers approximately 10.75%–11.0% per annum on amounts held. This is a meaningful deterrent.
