RERA has also issued press releases to this intent on more than one occasion. The pre-registered agents are not showing sufficient interest for this training which can have adverse consequences for them.

The registration of 1867 agents from NCR and 840 from Non-NCR has lapsed. So far only 179 agents from NCR and 237 from Non-NCR districts have enrolled for this training out of which only 240 are pre-registered ones.

Sanjay Bhoosreddy Chairman U.P. RERA apprised about the significance of the training as well as consequences of not undertaking this training. It was stated by him that purpose of this training is capacity building of the real estate agents and RERA expects that a trained agent would be in a position to render better services to the home buyers. This training is immensely beneficial for the agents. Nobody can be able to get registration with RERA without submitting the certificate of successful completion of training. Similarly, no agent whose registration has lapsed can be able to get the renewal of his registration without submission of such training certificate. RERA has also taken important reformatory decision and removed all such agents, whose registration has lapsed, from the agent section of the real estate projects registered with RERA. No promoter can now use such agents for promotion or sale or purchase of properties, nor can such agents indulge in promotion, sale or purchase of real estate properties in any manner.
Bhoosreddy stressed that all the agents registered with RERA should enroll themselves on the web portal of U.P RERA for undertaking this training which is both mandatory and beneficial for them. RERA strongly believes that the trained agents will have better skills and capacity to render better services to the consumers.
