Everything You Need to Know About RERA Mumbai

Since May 2017, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act of 2016 has been in effect. This law was enacted to regulate and oversee the real estate industry. Maharashtra's real estate sector is governed by the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA). In this article, we are going to be discussing all you need to know about Mumbai RERA.

What is MahaRERA?

The Maharashtra Real Estate (Regulation and Development) (Registration of real estate projects, registration of real estate agents, rates of interest, and disclosures on website) Rules, 2017. Registration of the project on the RERA Website under MahaRERA is required for all residential and commercial projects in Maharashtra. Builders are prohibited from advertising, booking, or selling real estate without first registering. Thus, the state of Maharashtra through MahaRERA (Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority) is responsible for:


  1. Register real estate projects and agents.
  2. Transparency in the selling of flats, plots, and buildings is a must.
  3. Customers, allottees, real estate brokers, and promoters involved in real estate transactions are all protected.
  4. Facilitate the resolving of disputes by using a dispute resolution process.
  5. Create an appeals tribunal that buyers can go to if they have a disagreement.
  6. In matters relating to real estate development and promotion, make recommendations to the appropriate government authorities.

The Top 4 Benefits of MahaRERA

1.     Transparency

Before RERA, buyers were at the whim of developers to acquire possession of the property they had purchased. Moreover, the promoters and developers could publish false advertisements, among other things. Buyers now have the right to question every phase of the development and promotion process. The consumer is given all the essential information related to the project in which they have invested. The developer is expected to report on its development and could be penalized for any delays. It is also a requirement to register the project with RERA.


2.   Law and Order Adherence

With the implementation of MahaRERA, developers will no longer be able to divert funds raised from investors to other projects. The down payment has been set at 10%. Also, noncompliance with RERA requirements is punishable by up to three years in prison and a monetary penalty.


3. Accountability and Recourse

Developers are required to deposit 70% of all funds paid to a project into a single account. These monies are only to be used for construction or land costs. The RERA registered builders are also expected to update regulatory authorities on project progress on a routine basis.


4. Trust

Consumers' faith in the real estate sector has been strengthened, which is perhaps the most significant advantage. This has re-energized the real estate industry and given property buyers more confidence.
