Maharera Proposes Self-Declaration for Project Quality

20 May 2024 CW Team

Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Maharera) is contemplating a new measure that would require builders to submit self-declarations regarding the quality of their projects. This proposed initiative aims to streamline regulatory processes and enhance transparency in the real estate sector.

Under the proposal, builders would be mandated to provide detailed self-assessments of their projects' adherence to quality standards and regulatory norms. This self-declaration is intended to supplement existing regulatory frameworks and facilitate smoother compliance procedures for developers.

Maharera officials highlight that the proposed self-declaration system aims to empower builders while ensuring accountability and promoting trust among homebuyers. By encouraging builders to take responsibility for the quality of their developments, Maharera seeks to strengthen consumer protection measures and uphold industry standards.

The initiative comes amid ongoing efforts by regulatory authorities to foster a more accountable and transparent real estate market in Maharashtra. It reflects Maharera's commitment to improving regulatory efficiency and addressing stakeholders' concerns related to project quality and compliance.

Stakeholders, including developers and industry experts, are closely monitoring developments related to the proposed self-declaration framework. They anticipate its potential impact on regulatory compliance, project delivery timelines, and overall market dynamics in the state's real estate sector.

If implemented, the self-declaration requirement could mark a significant shift in regulatory practices, promoting greater self-regulation and accountability among builders while bolstering consumer confidence in property transactions across Maharashtra.
