What to do if a project is not MahaRERA registered?

The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA), under Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 has made it mandatory for all projects to be MahaRERA registered. 

On July 24, 2017, MahaRERA laid down steps for handling information about the projects that ought to be registered but have not registered. If any real estate project is not RERA registered, it can be highlighted to MahaRERA by way of complaints in two ways.
