I put every Yamuna Expressway project through the same 5 money-safety checks. Here’s how many cleared all five.

By Vidit Kaushik· Published 20 Jul 2026· UP-RERA Agent UPRERAAGT000309/01/2026· 18 projects scored · 3 cleared all five

The one-line read

Three. Of the 18 Yamuna Expressway corridor projects I track by name, only three cleared every one of five money-safety checks — ACE Terra, Purvanchal Sunbliss, and Eldeco Echoes of Eden — and I don’t sell two of those three. The other 15 each fell short on at least one check, and the table below says exactly which one, with the exact reason, dated.

Nobody made me build this. I run every corridor project I track — competitors and my own listing alike — through the same five checks: does the RERA number actually return on the government portal, is the possession date holding, does a real price exist, does EOI-stage money sit inside or outside escrow, and what does my own dataset’s confidence tag say. Where I haven’t finished checking something, the cell says so — it never guesses.

The disclosure that matters most, stated first: at EOI stage, money sits outside RERA escrow — always, by law. The requirement that 70% of buyer receipts be held in a dedicated project account applies only once a project is registered. Three tracked projects are EOI-only today — Gaur Plume / “Chrysalis 2.0”, ACE Parkway 2.0, and Gaurs Studio Bento — and every one of them fails Check 4 for exactly this reason, regardless of who is selling it, including us.

money outside escrow

Built from data/corridor.json (row-level sources and confidence tags preserved), data/eoi-rera-tracker.json, the Delay Ledger, and direct checks against up-rera.in · per-row last-verified dates shown in the table.

Every corridor project page, ours included, will tell you its own project is safe. That sentence is worthless on its own — so instead of writing one more of them, I built a scorecard that treats every project I track, ours and every competitor’s, exactly the same way: five checks, disclosed below, applied uniformly, with the underlying data already sitting in our own open dataset. I looked up what I could on the government portal myself. Where I hadn’t finished a check yet, I said so instead of guessing. What came out the other end surprised me a little — and I’m publishing the whole matrix, not just the parts that make us look good.

The 5 checks, disclosed

CHECK 1

RERA portal lookup

Does the RERA number actually return a result when I search it on the government portal, up-rera.in — not a broker’s word, not a brochure cover?

CHECK 2

Possession holding

Is the on-record RERA possession date still the date — or has a later filing, or a documented regulatory finding, moved it since?

CHECK 3

Price sourced

Does a real, attributable price exist anywhere for this project — or does every domain just say “Price on Request”?

CHECK 4

EOI-stage escrow

At this project’s current selling stage, does your money sit inside the RERA-mandated escrow account, or outside it?

CHECK 5

My own confidence tag

What does our own corridor dataset’s confidence tag say — confirmed (independently corroborated), reported, or founder-stated?

The full scorecard — all 18 projects, all 5 checks

Sorted by checks cleared, highest first. pass means the check cleared on a dated, cited data point. fail means we found a specific negative fact — never an assumption. insufficient data means our own desk hasn’t finished that check for this project yet, and says so instead of guessing. n/a means the check doesn’t apply at this project’s current stage (for example, a sold-out project has no live money flow for the escrow check to test).

Vidastu is the disclosed channel partner only for Eldeco Echoes of Eden, Gaur Plume, ACE Parkway 2.0 and Gaurs Studio Bento among the rows above; every other project is listed as data, not a recommendation. Verify any project’s live status yourself at up-rera.in before paying anything. A “fail” on this table is a specific, cited finding — never an accusation of wrongdoing, and never a substitute for reading the project’s own filing.

Who cleared all five — and who almost did

Three projects passed every check. Two more missed by exactly one — and the specific miss tells you more than the score does.

The EOI-only cohort: money outside escrow, by construction

Three projects I track are currently EOI-only — Gaur Plume / “Chrysalis 2.0”, ACE Parkway 2.0, and Gaurs Studio Bento, one of which is our own mandate. All three fail Checks 1, 2 and 4 for the identical structural reason: no RERA registration exists yet, so there is no filed possession date to hold or slip, and no escrow account for money to sit inside. This is not a comment on any one of the three — it is what “pre-RERA” means, applied consistently, on our own project exactly as on anyone else’s. Each of the three still clears Check 3 (a real indicative price exists and is disclosed with its asterisk), which is why none of them scores zero.

What an EOI on any of these three actually is: a refundable expression of interest, not a booking or an allotment, and not a price lock. If you pay one, get the refund clause in writing, confirm the payee is the developer’s official account, and check the project on up-rera.in yourself — before and after paying. The full mechanics live on the EOI-to-RERA Tracker.

What I haven’t checked yet — and am naming, not hiding

Portal-confirm on up-rera.in: Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1), ACE Edit, ACE YXP, ACE Verde, ACE Hive, Ballads of Bliss — each currently “insufficient data” on Check 1 because the number is developer- or single-source-stated, not yet pulled from the portal directly by our desk. Ask Vidit for the latest status →
Pull to Delay-Ledger standard: Whispers of Wonder, ACE Verde, Ballads of Bliss, Arihant Seasons 22D, County, Orion — each currently “insufficient data” on Check 2 because their possession dates are single-sourced or unstated, not read from the filing itself the way our four Delay Ledger rows are.
Re-run the escrow check the moment any Check-1 gap above closes — Check 4 is derived directly from Check 1, so a fresh portal confirmation on any “insufficient data” row moves that project’s escrow answer too.

Methodology — exactly how each check is scored

Every row is built from data/corridor.json, its companion data/eoi-rera-tracker.json, the Delay Ledger, and dated checks against the government portal, up-rera.in. This is a disclosed editorial rubric — five checks I chose — not an official RERA rating.

Check 1 — RERA portal lookup: Pass: a direct, dated up-rera.in portal check for this exact project’s registration is on our record. Insufficient data: a number exists (developer- or single-source-stated) but we haven’t pulled a direct portal confirmation for it yet. Fail: no RERA number exists to check (pre-launch), the portal was queried and returned nothing browsable for the stated number, or an extensive multi-domain search never turned one up at all.
Check 2 — possession holding: Pass: tracked in the Delay Ledger with the originally filed date intact and no later revision found. Fail: a real, dated, cited slip or regulatory delay finding exists. Insufficient data: the possession date is single-source/reported only, a genuine dataset gap not yet pulled to Delay-Ledger standard, or the project is pre-launch with no filed date to test at all.
Check 3 — price sourced: Pass: a specific, attributable number exists somewhere, even if it’s a wide or conflicting range, or carries an asterisk. Fail: no public figure exists at all, or the answer everywhere checked is literally “on request.”
Check 4 — EOI-stage escrow: Derived directly from Check 1, because RERA’s 70%-escrow mandate only binds a real, portal-confirmed registration. Pass: Check 1 passed — the registration is portal-confirmed, so the escrow mandate is live. Insufficient data: Check 1 is insufficient — we won’t vouch for an escrow account we haven’t confirmed exists. Fail: no confirmed registration exists at all, including every EOI-only pre-launch, where money sits outside escrow by law regardless of Check 1’s status. N/A: the project is sold out, so there is no live primary-sale money flow for the check to evaluate.
Check 5 — my own confidence tag: Read verbatim from corridor.json’s own confidence field. Pass: tagged confirmed — two or more independent domains agree, or a direct portal fetch. Fail: tagged reported (one named, dated source) or founder-stated (internal ground truth, not yet independently corroborated).
Scope: Every named project in data/corridor.json’s residential/commercial sectors (22D, 22A, 19, and the explicitly-labelled Sector 150 adjacent-market row) is scored — 18 projects at this update. Sector 18 and Sector 20 carry no named developer project in our dossier and are excluded for that reason, not omitted by choice.
Cadence: Re-checked on the same weekly cadence as our other corridor trackers. If the publish stamp at the top of this page is more than two weeks old when you read it, treat individual rows as historical and check the live pages linked from each one.

FAQ

How many Yamuna Expressway corridor projects passed all 5 money-safety checks?

Three, as of 20 July 2026 — ACE Terra, Purvanchal Sunbliss, and Eldeco Echoes of Eden. All three carry a RERA number that returns on the government portal, an on-record possession date with no filed slip or regulatory delay finding against it, a real sourced price, money that sits inside RERA escrow, and corridor.json's own 'confirmed' confidence tag. Eldeco Echoes of Eden is our own listed project — it was scored on the same five checks as every competitor, not graded on a curve.

What are the 5 money-safety checks?

Five checks, applied identically to every named project in our corridor dataset: (1) does the RERA number actually return a result on the government portal, up-rera.in; (2) is the on-record possession date holding, or has a later filing or regulatory finding moved it; (3) does a real, attributable price exist, or does every source just say 'on request'; (4) at this project's current selling stage, does money sit inside or outside the RERA-mandated escrow account; (5) what does our own corridor dataset's confidence tag — confirmed, reported, or founder-stated — say about how independently corroborated the underlying facts are. Full definitions and edge cases are in the methodology box below the scorecard.

Is this an official RERA rating?

No. UP-RERA does not publish a comparative rating of registered projects, and neither does anyone else with authority to. This is Vidit Kaushik's own disclosed editorial rubric — five checks I chose, applied the same way to every project in our own open corridor dataset, cross-checked where possible against the government portal directly. It is methodology and opinion, not an official government rating, and every fail here maps to a specific, cited data point — never an assumption. Always verify any project's live RERA status yourself at up-rera.in before paying anything.

Does 'insufficient data' mean a project failed a check?

No — and that distinction is the point of using a separate label instead of folding it into fail. Insufficient data means our own desk hasn't finished a specific check for that project yet, usually because a RERA number is developer-stated but not yet portal-confirmed by us, or a possession date is single-sourced and hasn't been pulled to our Delay Ledger's stricter standard. It is a gap in our verification work, dated and named, not a finding against the project. A fail, by contrast, always maps to a specific negative fact we did check — no RERA number exists, no price is published anywhere, or a portal query returned nothing.

If I pay an EOI on a pre-RERA project, is my money inside RERA escrow?

No. A pre-RERA Expression of Interest sits outside the RERA escrow account by law — the requirement that 70% of buyer receipts be held in a dedicated project account applies only once a project is registered. Three projects on this scorecard are currently EOI-only — Gaur Plume / Chrysalis 2.0, ACE Parkway 2.0, and Gaurs Studio Bento — and every one of them fails Check 4 for exactly this reason, regardless of who is selling it. Get the refund clause in writing before paying anything, and pay only into the developer's official account.

Does failing one check mean a project is unsafe?

No. Look at the two projects that cleared four of five: ATS Allure is RERA-registered since 2017 with a confirmed portal check, a sourced price, and escrow protection — it fails only Check 2, because of a real, dated 2023 regulatory order about delivery delay. Greenbay The Monarque clears everything except Check 3, because no public price could be found anywhere for it, including its own RERA filing summary. Each check answers one specific question; read the row, not just the score, before deciding what a gap means for you.

How often is this scorecard updated, and where does the data come from?

The scorecard is re-checked against our own corridor.json dataset and, where possible, the UP-RERA portal directly, on the same weekly cadence as our other corridor trackers. Every row carries its own confidence tag and a per-row last-verified date; the underlying data lives at data/corridor.json and its companion data/eoi-rera-tracker.json. If the stamp date at the top of this page is more than two weeks old when you're reading it, treat individual rows as historical and check the live pages linked from each one.
