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. Our sales desk 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 EOI registrants had at that stage
During the pre-launch stage, an EOI registrant had a priority position on the developer's list — first sight of floor plans, first access to unit selection, and the current BSP (₹8,499/sq.ft*, indicative) ahead of the official launch price of ₹12,000/sq.ft*. What an EOI did not carry was a legal claim to a specific unit — that required the Agreement for Sale, executable only post-RERA registration. Now that Gaur Plume is RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, that step is available: booking proceeds straight to the Agreement for Sale, and the current BSP of ₹8,499/sq.ft* still applies ahead of the launch price rise.
The Gaur Plume Pre-launch Process — How It Ran, Step by Step
The following describes the pre-launch process Gaur Plume followed before RERA registration. Steps 1–5 are now complete — the project is RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026. Current buyers move straight to Step 6 (Agreement for Sale) after contacting our sales desk for the current cost sheet.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Register interest | Call or WhatsApp our sales desk at +91 98114 05300. Share your name, mobile number and preferred configuration (smaller or larger 3 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 our sales desk. |
| 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. It is verifiable anytime at 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 (20:80 or as confirmed), possession date, and other terms. This is the first legally binding document. |
| 7. Construction-linked payments | Subsequent instalments (per the 20:80 payment plan or as agreed) are paid as construction milestones are achieved, confirmed by the developer's demand letters. |
The 20:80 Payment Plan — Financing Gaur Plume / Gaur Alaris
The indicative payment plan for Gaur Plume is a 20:80 construction-linked plan: five instalments of approximately 20% each, the first at allotment and the subsequent instalments at successive construction milestones, with the final instalment on possession. 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. Gaur Plume is now RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026 — so the 80% balance (typically funded by a home loan) can now be arranged against the registered project, timed to the construction-linked disbursement schedule. During the earlier pre-launch stage, EOI amounts were typically funded from personal funds since bank disbursement against an unregistered project was not available. Confirm your bank's current policy with your lender.
Is There a Buyer-side Fee?
Our sales desk, 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 our sales desk before paying.
