In terms of complaint resolution, MahaRERA resolved 6,045 homebuyer complaints in 2025, compared to 5,073 registered during the year. Since its inception, the complaint-disposal rate has ranged from 50% to 70%, but this has significantly improved over the years. In 2025 alone, the overall disposal rate reached 137%, reflecting a strong commitment to addressing homebuyer concerns.

Official data from MahaRERA shows that the number of complaints and their resolution rates have varied over the years. In 2017, 1,324 complaints were reported with a disposal rate of 27%. In 2018, complaints rose to 4,253, with a disposal rate of 56%. The years 2019 and 2020 saw 4,376 and 3,049 complaints, respectively, with disposal rates of 71% and 53%. In 2021, 3,554 complaints were recorded with a disposal rate of 57%, and in 2022, 3,312 complaints were filed with a disposal rate of 79%.

In the following years, MahaRERA reported 4,006 complaints in 2023, 3,868 in 2024, and 5,073 in 2025. The disposal rates for these years rose to 70%, 123%, and 137%, respectively, indicating a significant improvement in case resolution.

According to MahaRERA, obtaining its approval is mandatory for any corrections or extensions under the provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Developers are also required to seek the regulator’s approval for any alterations or additions to the project plans submitted at the time of registration. Additionally, during the registration stage, developers must provide a definite completion date for the housing project. If the developer needs to extend the timeline, they must obtain MahaRERA's approval. Failure to do so can result in the project being classified as lapsed, which can adversely affect its progress.

From the homebuyers’ standpoint, it is crucial for developers to seek MahaRERA’s approval for project corrections and extensions. This ensures transparency and accountability, protecting the interests of homebuyers and maintaining the integrity of the real estate market in Maharashtra.
