MahaRERA counselling cell sought after by homebuyers, developers

November 16, 2023: The counselling cell that was conceived by the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) is sought after by homebuyers and developers, mentioned by the department as per media reports. The cell was set up in a bid to reduce legal disputes, often raised owing to lack of clarity or knowledge.

Located at the MahaRERA headquarters in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), the cell has been a one stop destination for home buyers and developers alike to get doubts clarified concerning real estate. Media reports suggest that over 300 people visit the cell each month.

The MahaRERA cell is managed by two senior MahaRERA officials who offer clarity to home buyers with their real estate inquiries.

MahaRERA: Most asked advice

Homebuyers mostly approach the MahaRERA council for getting clarity on:

• Whether grievances can be filed online or offline.
• What has to be done if project construction quality is not as per the document registered?
• Whom to approach if there is a repeated delay in possession?

Developers approach the MahaRERA council for getting clarity on regulatory requirements such as:

• A single project cannot have two registration numbers, even if it has been granted an extension by the MahaRERA.
• Updating quarterly reports on the MahaRERA portal, failure of which leads to developers getting penalised.
• Criteria required for new project registration with the MahaRERA.
