What Is an EOI?
An Expression of Interest (EOI) — also called a pre-registration, soft-launch registration, or pre-EOI — is the first formal step in a developer's pre-launch funnel, before the project is RERA-registered and available for formal allotment.
In RERA terms, an EOI is intended to gather a list of interested buyers without constituting a booking or a sale. RERA Section 3 prohibits developers from accepting advances or deposits of more than 10% of the apartment cost without executing a written agreement for sale — and no agreement can be executed until the project is registered. A compliant pre-launch EOI operates within this constraint: it expresses the buyer's interest and, in many cases, collects a token amount (often ₹1 lakh or similar) that is fully refundable if the buyer does not proceed to allotment.
Buyers should independently verify the refund terms of any EOI amount with the developer and their legal advisor before paying. Vidit Kaushik will share the developer's EOI terms when you register.
What Pre-RERA Means for You as a Buyer
Understanding your rights — and limitations — at the pre-RERA stage is essential before committing to any payment.
What the developer can do at pre-launch
- Market the project and collect expressions of interest
- Accept a token EOI amount (provided refund terms are clear)
- Share floor plans, brochures and cost sheets as indicative pre-launch material
- Receive plan sanctions (the building plan for Gaur Plume is sanctioned)
- Apply for RERA registration
What the developer cannot do at pre-launch
- Execute a formal Agreement for Sale (not permissible before RERA registration)
- Issue an allotment letter that constitutes a legal commitment of a unit (without registration)
- Accept more than 10% of the apartment cost before executing a written agreement
- Advertise a project RERA number that does not exist
What you have at the EOI stage
As an EOI registrant, you have a priority position on the developer's pre-launch list — first sight of floor plans, first access to unit selection, and the pre-launch rate (₹8,499/sq.ft*, indicative) before the project launches at ₹12,000/sq.ft*. What you do not have is a legal claim to a specific unit until the Agreement for Sale is executed post-RERA registration. This is why understanding the EOI refund terms is critical — your position should be convertible to an allotment when the project launches, or fully refundable if you choose not to proceed.
The Gaur Plume Pre-launch Process — Step by Step
The following is a typical pre-launch process for a project of this type. Specific steps, amounts and timelines for Gaur Plume are confirmed by Vidit Kaushik directly and will be shared in the pre-launch process document.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Register interest | Call or WhatsApp Vidit Kaushik at +91 79829 45260. Share your name, mobile number and preferred configuration (3 BHK or 4 BHK). No payment at this stage. |
| 2. Receive pre-launch pack | Indicative floor plans, pre-launch cost sheet (BSP + all charges), and the pre-launch process document — sent personally on WhatsApp, typically within minutes of registering. |
| 3. EOI payment (if proceeding) | A token EOI amount (typically ₹1–2 lakh, confirmed in the process document) is paid to secure your priority position. Fully refundable if you do not proceed to allotment. Payment mode and refund terms confirmed by Vidit Kaushik. |
| 4. Unit selection | When the project is ready to launch, EOI holders are invited (in priority order) to select their preferred unit — floor, tower and configuration. EOI registrants who complete their EOI payment get priority over those who have only registered their name. |
| 5. RERA registration | The project RERA number is issued. Once issued, it will be published at gaursplume.com and verifiable on up-rera.in. |
| 6. Agreement for Sale | The registered Agreement for Sale is executed between the developer and the buyer, incorporating the allotted unit details, payment schedule (20:5 or as confirmed), possession date, and other terms. This is the first legally binding document. |
| 7. Construction-linked payments | Subsequent tranches (per the 20:5 payment plan or as agreed) are paid as construction milestones are achieved, confirmed by the developer's demand letters. |
The 20:5 Payment Plan — How to Finance the Pre-launch
The indicative payment plan for Gaur Plume is a 20:5 construction-linked plan: approximately 20% at allotment and subsequent tranches of approximately 5% at each construction milestone. This is described in detail in the price and payment plan guide.
From a financing perspective, most home loan lenders will only approve and disburse against a project that is RERA-registered. This means the bulk of the 80% balance (funded by a home loan in most cases) will be arranged post-RERA registration, timed to the construction-linked disbursement schedule. The pre-launch EOI stage is typically funded from personal funds. Confirm your bank's policy for pre-RERA projects before committing to the EOI payment.
Is There a Buyer-side Fee?
Vidastu Advisory, the independent UP-RERA registered agent operating gaursplume.com, does not charge a buyer-side fee. We are compensated by the developer (standard industry practice for registered agents). Any EOI amount paid is a token against your future allotment — it goes to the developer, not to us. Confirm the EOI amount and refund terms with Vidit Kaushik before paying.
