Few builders register with RERA (295 projects have been issued certificates by the authority)

With just about a fortnight left for developers to register ongoing projects with Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA), less than 5% of them have registered with the authority, according to MahaRERA officials.


The deadline for registration of ongoing projects with RERA is July 31.


With an estimated 10,000 plus ongoing projects in the state, only 499 applications have been filed with MahaRERA till July 13, out of which 295 projects have been issued certificates by the authority. Despite having a working RERA website and a regulator from May 1, 2017, the registrations have been low but RERA officials are hopeful that the registrations will be completed by month end, failing which developers will be slapped with 10% penalty. MahaRERA secretary Vasant Prabhu told TOI that the developers will have to register their projects or face huge penalty.


"The developers are taking time to register but over the last three days we are receiving nearly 70-80 applications daily, instead of two-three applications earlier. The momentum is likely to increase in the next few days and we have all the technical services ready to tackle excess applications,'' stated Prabhu.


He further added that if the builders have their documents in place, the process of registration should not take more than an hour.


Chairman and regulator MahaRERA Mr. Gautam Chatterjee had earlier stated that developers were getting used to coming in public domain and having all their documents uploaded, so it was bound to take time.

Deadline July 31, but only 350 of 9,000 Maharashtra builders sign up with RERA

MUMBAI: Around 9,000 builders  in the state are expected to register their projects under the  MahaRERA, but only 350 of them have done so since May 1, when the regulations came into effect, reveal MahaRERA authorities. The deadline for registration is July 31. If builders don't register their projects, they face fine under the RERA and even a jail term in case of repeat offence. Industry experts say the poor registration rate might be an effect of the slow pace of construction projects and absence of new launches. Around 80,000 residential units remain unsold in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, which is second after the National Capital Region which has 1.6 lakh unsold units. Explaining the current situation, Ramesh Nair chairman of CII Realty and Infrastructure Conclave and CEO & Country Head, JLL India, said, "The number of new launches has come down and the focus has shifted to completion of existing projects. The profitability has f...

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...
