MaharERA Simplifies Registration Process

16 Feb 2024 CW Team

In a significant move, Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MaharERA) has streamlined the registration process for builders with over 50 housing units. The initiative aims to simplify the administrative procedures, making it more convenient for large-scale developers to comply with regulations.

Under the new guidelines, builders overseeing projects with more than 50 housing units can now complete their registration at their doorstep, eliminating unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. This progressive step by MaharERA aligns with the government's ongoing efforts to promote transparency and efficiency in the real estate sector.

The simplification of the registration process is expected to benefit both builders and homebuyers. Builders will experience a more streamlined and efficient registration, saving time and resources. On the other hand, homebuyers can anticipate quicker approvals and enhanced accountability from developers.

This move comes at a crucial time for the real estate industry, as it navigates challenges and adapts to changing market dynamics. By reducing bureaucratic complexities, MaharERA aims to boost the overall growth of the sector, attracting more investments and fostering a conducive environment for real estate development.
