11 Jan 2024 CW Team

In a move aimed at bolstering transparency and accountability, Maharera has implemented a new three-level scrutiny process for housing project registrations. Under this initiative, projects seeking registration will undergo a thorough examination by three independent teams, emphasising a comprehensive evaluation.

This stringent scrutiny is designed to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, safeguarding the interests of homebuyers and fostering a more robust and trustworthy real estate ecosystem. The three-tier review mechanism underscores Maharera's commitment to enhancing the credibility of housing projects, mitigating risks, and providing greater assurance to stakeholders in the real estate sector.

As the real estate industry grapples with evolving regulatory frameworks, this multi-layered scrutiny approach is expected to set a precedent for ensuring the quality and legitimacy of housing projects. The implementation of such measures reflects the ongoing efforts to instil confidence among homebuyers and streamline the registration process in the real estate market.
