Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) clarified that it can take suo motu action against builders who don't register their projects with the authority by the deadline of July 31.
While complainants needs to pay a fee of Rs 5,000 to register a complaint against builders; according to the law, the regulatory authority has said that post July 31, even if an individual brings into its notice non-registered projects, Maha RERA can initiate suo motu action against the particular builder.
"It is not necessary that every complaint we act on, has to be a formal complaint by a concerned buyer via paying the complaint fees. We can even take suo motu action against builders who fail to register their projects after the deadline of July 31, on mere intimation about the same," said Vasant Prabhu, secretary, Maha RERA. "However, we are expecting all the builders to register their projects within the deadline or else we will fine the concerned builders according to the provisions of the RERA Act," he added.
According to RERA, if any builder fails to register their project as per the RERA Act, he shall be liable to a penalty, which may extend up to 10 per cent of the estimated cost of the real estate project. On continued violation, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term, which may extend up to three years.
Builders and brokers were given three months, starting May 1 up to July 31, to register all ongoing projects with RERA. As of July 14, 500 projects stood to be registered with RERA along with 3,500 brokers having registered with Maha RERA.
However, it is said that roughly 9,500 projects are ongoing in the state. The number of 500 registered projects has not worried officials from Maha RERA, who anticipate that builders will come for registering at the nick of the time.

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.

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...
