What This Circular Covers
K-RERA issued a circular dated 20th January 2026 imposing a penalty for delay in submission, or non-submission, of Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) for the Financial Year 2025-26, in compliance with Section 11(1) of the RERA Act read with Rule 15(1)(D) of the Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017.
The circular reiterated that promoters must submit quarterly updates within fifteen days from the expiry of each quarter — 15th July for Q1, 15th October for Q2, 15th January for Q3, and 15th April for Q4 — a facility K-RERA has enabled online since Quarter-2 of 2018-19.

Original Deadline & Final Opportunity
The circular originally extended a final opportunity up to 20th February 2026 for promoters to submit pending quarterly reports for Q1, Q2, and Q3 of FY 2025-26 without penalty. Beyond that date, a penalty of Rs.25,000 per delayed quarterly report would apply. Promoters were also informed to submit their Q4 report by 15th April 2026 to avoid penalty from 16th April 2026 onward.
🔄 Corrigendum: Deadline Extended to 31 March 2026
A corrigendum dated 20th February 2026 (Ref: Circular No. RERA/ACCOUNTS/CR/127599/2025-26 dated 20/01/2026) revised the deadline. The original 20th February 2026 deadline for submitting Q1, Q2 and Q3 QPRs for FY 2025-26 was extended and should be read as 31st March 2026. All other contents of the original circular remained unchanged.
Why This Matters
This circular — along with the subsequent 19th June 2026 and 2nd July 2026 circulars covering FY 2026-27 — shows a consistent pattern: K-RERA is actively enforcing quarterly compliance deadlines with real financial penalties (up to Rs.1,00,000 per year, per project) for promoters who miss filing windows. Staying on top of these deadlines is essential to avoid unnecessary penalties.
