MahaRera strengthened scrutiny of real estate projects at the registration stage to prevent future disputes and ensure timely completion of housing developments. Officials said the initiative is part of MahaRera’s broader goal of protecting homebuyers’ investments and reducing the number of complaints related to delayed possession, financial irregularities, and incomplete project promises, reports Vaibhav Ganjapure.Under the new approach, proposed projects are thoroughly examined before receiving a MahaRERA registration number. The authority set up three independent groups to scrutinise projects from legal, financial, and technical perspectives.The legal review checks compliance with regulatory provisions and verifies land ownership and documentation. The financial assessment evaluates the developer’s financial capacity and the viability of completing the project. The technical review analyses construction planning and other practical aspects that may affect execution. Projects are not granted registration unless they satisfy all regulatory requirements and pass these evaluations. MahaRera also urged homebuyers to exercise caution before investing.
