MahaRERA questions, answered

37 of the questions developers, agents and home buyers ask us most, on registration, quarterly filing, renewals, extensions and documentation. If yours isn't here, our team will answer it directly.

General

RERA (the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016) is the law that regulates the real estate sector to protect homebuyers and bring transparency and accountability. In Maharashtra it is administered by MahaRERA, which oversees project and agent registration and ongoing compliance.

Developers and promoters must register any project where the land exceeds 500 sq. meters or has more than 8 apartments before advertising or selling. Real estate agents facilitating sales in registered projects must also hold a valid RERA agent registration.

With complete and accurate documentation, MahaRERA project registration is typically completed in around 15 days on average. RERA360 prepares your file end-to-end to avoid back-and-forth and delays.

Missing quarterly progress report (QPR) deadlines can lead to MahaRERA notices and monetary penalties, and can affect your project's standing. RERA360 tracks every deadline and files on time to keep you fully compliant.

RERA agent registration is valid for 5 years and must be renewed before expiry. Projects may also require extensions or updates over their lifecycle, we track these and handle the applications for you.

Yes. A registered project can be transferred or its promoter changed subject to MahaRERA approval and the prescribed conditions. RERA360 assists with the documentation and application process for such changes.

RERA360 offers specialist MahaRERA expertise, accurate documentation, on-time submissions and a transparent, affordable process, trusted by 500+ compliance clients across Maharashtra. We manage the entire compliance lifecycle so you can focus on building.

Project Registration under RERA

RERA registration brings transparency and accountability to real estate projects, protecting homebuyers and ensuring developers deliver on their commitments.

Projects where the land area exceeds 500 sq. meters or that have more than 8 apartments must be registered with MahaRERA before any advertising or sale.

Project Correction

Yes. Whether it's a change in building plans, project size, timelines, or any technical detail, corrections can be filed on the MahaRERA portal. We prepare and submit them as per RERA norms.

It depends on what is changing. Amendments to plans or project size usually need the revised approvals along with updated certificates from your Architect (Form 1), Engineer (Form 2) and CA (Form 3). We confirm the full list before filing.

Timelines depend on the nature of the change and the authority's review. We prepare a complete, well-documented filing so the application is not held up by avoidable queries.

Project Extension

There are two types under MahaRERA. Extension under Section 6 allows promoters to apply for a maximum 1-year extension without default, based on valid reasons. Extension under Section 7(3) applies if the project still can't be completed after one year, and further extension is possible with or without the consent of allottees.

If the project's original completion date (as per RERA registration) cannot be met, the promoter must apply for an extension before the registration expires. This includes submitting valid reasons and certificates from Architect (Form 1), Engineer (Form 2), and CA (Form 3).

Letting a registration lapse is treated far more seriously than applying late in its term. We track the expiry date and file in good time, which is why the deadline tracking above is part of the service rather than an extra.

RERA Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Under Section 56 of the RERA Act, you can be represented by an advocate, chartered accountant, company secretary or cost accountant.

An appeal to the Appellate Tribunal must generally be filed within 60 days of receiving the order.

Yes. The MahaRERA Conciliation Forum helps parties reach a mutual settlement.

The Authority may proceed ex parte and impose penalties, freeze accounts or restrict registration.

Quarterly Compliance Filing

Quarterly Compliance Filing means updating your project details on the RERA website every 3 months. Developers must share updates like construction progress, sales, and approvals. This helps keep everything transparent for buyers and the government. If you don't file on time, you may face penalties or legal issues.

Quarterly Compliance Filing is required by MahaRERA to show the progress of your project every 90 days. It helps keep buyers informed, builds trust, and avoids heavy penalties that can go up to 5% of the project cost.

You need to submit certificates from an architect (Form 1), engineer (Form 2), and chartered accountant (Form 3), along with updates on inventory, CC and plans, and your RERA profile. An annual audit report (Form 5) is also needed.

Home Buyers Services

Home buyers can check the official MahaRERA website by searching the project name or developer. Registered projects are listed with details like status and approvals. If a project isn't listed, it's not registered and may be risky. We can carry out this verification for you.

A title search confirms that the property's ownership is clear and legal, helping buyers avoid disputes or fraud by ensuring the developer has the right to sell the property.

We help buyers by verifying project registration, checking property ownership, offering legal advice, assisting with property inspections, and resolving disputes with developers.

RERA Agent Registration

Yes. Any real estate agent facilitating transactions in RERA-registered projects must hold a valid RERA agent registration.

The RERA agent certificate is valid for 5 years from the date of issue and must be renewed before it expires.

Yes. We track your certificate expiry and prepare and file the renewal application on time.

Construction Finance Assistance

Yes. Registered projects can obtain construction finance, provided the charge on the project and its terms are properly disclosed.

Typically: title documents, approved plans, the RERA registration, a project report, cash-flow projections and the promoter's financial statements.

No. RERA360 is not a lender. We act as consultants for the developer, identifying suitable banks and NBFCs and managing the process. Sanction is at the lender's discretion, subject to its eligibility criteria.

Withdrawals from the separate account must match construction progress and be certified by the architect, engineer and chartered accountant. Lenders take this into account when planning disbursements.

Yes. We assist with disbursement requests, progress certifications, quarterly lender compliance and reporting for the full tenure of the construction finance loan.
