The guidelines also emphasise the importance of promoting a conducive and inclusive environment for senior citizens, with a focus on their safety, well-being, and quality of life. By standardizing regulations for senior living projects, MahaRERA aims to address the unique needs and concerns of elderly residents while fostering trust and confidence among homebuyers and investors in this segment.
