MaharERA: 182 Realty Projects Unregistered

08 Nov 2023 CW Team

MaharERA, which was established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, aims to protect the interests of homebuyers and promote transparency in the real estate sector. The Act dictates that developers must register their projects with the regulatory authority before commencing any advertising or selling of properties.

The revelation of unregistered projects underscores the need for better implementation and monitoring of registration requirements. Failure to adhere to the registration process can result in penalties, including hefty fines and potential imprisonment.

This reporting discrepancy also highlights potential risks faced by buyers who invest in unregistered projects. Homebuyers are advised to verify the registration status of projects before finalizing any property deals to avoid any legal complications or financial losses.

According to data provided by MaharERA, the majority of the unregistered projects are in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune. However, this number could rise as the regulatory authority continues to monitor the situation and takes appropriate action against defaulting builders and developers.

To streamline the registration process, MaharERA has recently launched a single-window system to facilitate hassle-free project registrations. The system integrates various compliance processes, reducing administrative burdens for developers and enhancing accountability.

The regulatory authority has also intensified its efforts to educate developers and consumers about the importance of project registration. This initiative will enable stakeholders to understand their rights and obligations under the Real Estate Act, thereby ensuring a safer and more transparent real estate environment in Maharashtra.

In conclusion, the revelation of 182 unregistered real estate projects by MaharERA highlights the essential need for stricter enforcement of registration requirements. Buyers are advised to exercise caution while investing in real estate and verify the registration status of projects. MaharERA's concerted efforts to streamline the registration process and raise awareness among stakeholders are positive steps towards creating a transparent and buyer-friendly real estate market in Maharashtra.
