Maharashtra: 500 builders register as RERA deadline nears

Only 8 Days Left

Mumbai: With the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) just a fortnight away, more than 500 developers across Maharashtra out of the estimated 9000 have registered on the website so far. The new act directs developers and real estate agents to register on the MahaRERA website.

A senior RERA official said that the reason behind the less number of registration is uncertain. He said, “Despite providing a new window for developers to make corrections of obvious errors in the submitted project, the number of registrations on the site has been low. Typographical errors and name correction can be edited through the window.” The official added that the earlier blockage to such provisions deterred developers from uploading their project details.

Mayur Shah, newly elected president of MCHI-CREDAI, an association representing the interests of builders, said, that there are over 1000 projects that are yet to be uploaded on the website. According to RERA authorities, developers are rechecking and reverifying their project details that are to be submitted on the website to avoid any kind of errors. However, now they will not have to worry about the corrections as the special window will allow them to edit their errors even after submitting their projects.

More than 3,500 real estate agents have registered themselves on the website. Since the deadline for RERA registration is on July 31, the authorities have decided to include the correction window so that the developers do not avoid registering themselves under RERA.

Soon, realtors will have to display 'approved plans' on construction sites

From now on, realtors will have to display approved building plans on the site of their project. In a Supreme Court order, it has been made mandatory, and Consumer forum in Mumbai claims that MahaRERA has agreed to their demand on the same. This they say will help a home buyer in knowing where is he putting his money. A section in the order stated that, "...keeping in mind the provisions of RERA and their objective, the developer should mandatorily display at the site the sanction plan. The provision of sub-section (3) of Section 11 of the RERA require the sanction plan/layout plans along with specifications, approved by the competent authority, to be displayed at the site or such other places, as may be specified by the Regulations made by the Authority. In our view, keeping in mind the ground reality of rampant violations and the consequences thereof, it is advisable to issue directions for display of such sanction plan/layout plans at the site, apart from any other man

Big boost for home buyers: Projects received part occupation certificate to come under MahaRERA

In an order that would set a precedent for future cases related to part occupation certificate, the MahaRERA (Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority) in an interim order dated September 12 has held that the project will come under its jurisdiction even though it has received part occupation certificate. In its order, MahaRERA implied that having part occupation certificate means the project is not completed. The ruling is very significant as getting part occupation certificate for the projects is quite a trend among the developers in Maharashtra. HIS-ERP.COM “This will be a welcome order for the home buyers. The projects with part occupation certificate will now be considered as ongoing projects. This means, they will now come under the purview of RERA,” said Apurva Kanvinde, senior associate, Juris Corp. The order was passed in a complaint filed by Haresh Jethmal Asher against Bellissimo Crown Buildmart, which is a subsidiary of Lodha Developers. The buyer ha
