Expert guidance on project registration, homebuyer complaints, legal drafting, development agreements & full RERA compliance — serving 80+ projects across Maharashtra from Vasai (West).
Maharashtra was the first state to implement MahaRERA, setting a national benchmark. Here's why every builder, developer, and homebuyer must understand RERA.
Under Section 3, no promoter can advertise, market, book, sell or invite investments in any real estate project without RERA registration. Non-compliance attracts penalties up to 10% of the project cost.
A RERA-registered project signals trust. Buyers can verify project details, approvals, construction status, and promoter history on the MahaRERA portal — making your project more marketable.
70% of all amounts collected from buyers must be deposited in a designated escrow account and used only for land cost and construction — preventing fund diversion.
Promoters must declare the project completion date at registration and submit quarterly updates (QPR). This enforces accountability and prevents indefinite delays.
RERA prescribes a standard format for Agreement for Sale under Rule 10. Any deviation must be disclosed — preventing builders from inserting exploitative clauses against buyers.
All registered project details — approvals, layout plans, completion timelines, financial data, promoter credentials and litigation history — are publicly accessible on the MahaRERA portal.
As per Section 3 of RERA, 2016 and MahaRERA Order No. 62/2024 (October 22, 2024), the following thresholds determine mandatory registration.
Plot Area Exceeds 500 sq. metresTotal land proposed for development is more than 500 sq. metres — irrespective of number of units.
More Than 8 Apartments / UnitsProjects proposing more than 8 apartments, plots or units in total across all phases.
Ongoing / Incomplete ProjectsProjects incomplete as of May 1, 2017 that had not received OC were required to register.
Plotted DevelopmentLayout developments for plot sales also require registration if area exceeds 500 sq. metres.
Land area ≤ 500 sq. metres irrespective of unit count (MahaRERA Order No. 62/2024)
Number of apartments ≤ 8 units regardless of land area
Projects that received valid Completion / Occupancy Certificate before application date
Renovation or repair works not involving marketing, selling, or new allotments
Up to 10% of project cost as penalty. Continued violation: imprisonment up to 3 years (Section 59).
₹10,000 per day of default for facilitating sale of unregistered projects.
Advertising without RERA number & QR code attracts penalties (MahaRERA Order 46C/2025).
Failure to submit Quarterly Progress Reports puts project in Abeyance — listing suspended.
The RERA Act provides robust, time-bound legal remedies for both allottees (homebuyers) and promoters. Know your rights before you act.
If the promoter fails to deliver possession by the agreed date, the allottee may withdraw and claim full refund with interest at SBI MCLR + 2% per annum from each date of payment.
Section 18(1) RERAAn allottee choosing to wait for possession is entitled to monthly interest on all amounts paid for every month of delay — this right is absolute, confirmed by the Supreme Court.
Section 18(1) ProvisoAny structural defect brought to the promoter's notice within 5 years of possession must be rectified within 30 days at no cost, or compensation is payable to the allottee.
Section 14(3) RERAAny allottee aggrieved by a violation can file a formal complaint under Section 31. MahaRERA typically resolves complaints within 45–60 days. Interim relief may be sought during adjudication.
Section 31 RERAIf unsatisfied with MahaRERA's order, any aggrieved party can appeal to the Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal within 60 days. Further challenge before the High Court is also available.
Section 44 RERAMahaRERA operates 16 Conciliation & Dispute Resolution Forum benches across Maharashtra for amicable settlement — faster and less adversarial than formal proceedings.
Section 32(g) RERAA promoter facing genuine delays due to Force Majeure can apply for extension of registration validity with supporting documentation and justification under Section 6.
Section 6 RERAIf an allottee defaults in payments, the promoter is entitled to recover interest at SBI MCLR + 2% per annum on delayed amounts — same rate as applicable to builder delays.
Section 19 RERAPromoters may apply for corrections in registered project details. Minor changes (up to 3% carpet area) need specific allottee consent. Major changes need two-thirds allottee consent.
Section 14(2) RERAA promoter aggrieved by a MahaRERA order can appeal to the Appellate Tribunal within 60 days. Orders of the Tribunal can be further challenged before the Bombay High Court.
Section 44 RERAPromoters can participate in the MahaRERA Conciliation Forum to resolve disputes amicably, protecting project reputation and avoiding prolonged adversarial proceedings.
Section 32(g) RERAIn cases of restructuring or transfer, promoter change is possible with two-thirds allottee consent and MahaRERA approval, ensuring the project continues under new management.
